Rafael:

I will report it as a bug.  What package should it be reported against?

Unfortunately, it appears to be one more step down the Ubuntu road of taking away customization. So I'm doubtful anything will come of it. But it means a lot to me, so I will report it, nevertheless.

It may well be the end of color customization.

More clues. I've tested on a few environments.

1. Lubuntu does no colorize at all. Nor fgtk2 nor gtk3.
2. XFCE (using Shimmer's gtk-theme-config) DOES colorize only gtk2 (pretty normal, as usually gtk3 is not able to do this) 3. Mate. The same as XFCE, only colorizes gtk2 apps (I insist, gtk3 apps cannot be colorized as is, they need to be tweaked via .gtk-3.0 RC).
4. Ubuntu hasn't this feature anymore.

So, as colorization works in every environment as eexpected, the problem is ours. But themes react fine in other desktops, so there's no problem at all on engines or themes RC files.

So, once tested all steps, there's only one left: the LXDE session settings daemon. Shall we declare it as a bug?

    Yes, I can't customize Lubuntu-default, experimental Box, or even
    Adwaita. Now I'm testing Xubuntu themes and they seem to be
    un-colorizable too. Something's happening to the Desktop Settings
    daemon. It's not theme or engine related. It also affects GTK3.

    Let me try more tests on other environments and I hope to have an
    answer or, at least, a clue.

        All:

        I encountered a problem with Lubuntu 14.04 which (to me) is a
        show-stopper.  I'm sure it isn't as important to others.

        I have my own peculiar style of customized colors.  One of the
        main reasons my primary system uses Lubuntu is because of the
        color-customization, which retains the ease-of-use that was
        present in Ubuntu 11.04.

        I upgraded a Lubuntu 13.10 system for which the colors worked
        fine. After the upgrade to 14.04, the color customization does
        not appear in any windows I have tried (and I have tried a lot
        of them).

        Even in the window where you change the appearance with custom
        colors, it shows that it remembers the colors I specified, but
        the specified colors are not used in the window in which I
        specify them.

        It appears that color-customization can be done in the
        preferences settings, but the color customization you specify
        is universally ignored.

        Does anyone have any idea of how to make color-customization
        work in Lubuntu 14.04?
