As new Unity window decorator uses same title-bar foreground color for both normal & maximized windows, window title on unity-panel is not properly visible as it becomes dark-text on dark-panel. I have attached a screenshot. This forces theme developer to use use same background color for both unity-panel & un-maximized windows, which breaks theme design. The idea is that theme-developers like to think unity-panel as a panel & not just a title-bar for maximized window. According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/Theming, color set in UnityDecoration.top is used for both unmaximized & maximized window. UnityDecoration.top { color: @dark_fg_color } And when this is set, the color set in .unity-panel.menuitem is ignored for window title text in panel (it still paints some other text in panel like indicator-datetime) .unity-panel .menuitem { border-width: 0 1px; color: @panel_fg_color; # this does not affect window title text anymore. } This color (OR unity.panel foreground color in UnityPanelWidget) should be used to paint the window tile text for maximized window, as it used to be in old compiz-decorator.
