Rafael:
It would be good to have all of the relevant information initially
within the bug-report.
I will wait to submit it until you report back on what you find out in
your additional tests.
I think you are saying that the customization wouldn't work in Lubuntu
even if I developed a custom theme (per Nio's suggestion).

The problem here aren't the themes, is the XSettings daemon. Each
environment has its own: XFCE has xfce4-settings-manager, Gnome has
gnome-settings-daemon, etc.
The package you're looking for is lxsession. LXDE has a standalone
version of the daemon, called lxsession-daemon which loads independent
config files. I need to do more tests to see if this is working.
But I insist, this "bug" is not theme related.

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?

Of course you can always make your own theme, so it will never
be dead. I have made a few themes for the WM, and the panel is
still customizable fortunately.
@Aere, Rafael did say the bug was in lubuntu session settings
daemon.

Israel:
Is there something in the repository you install to build your
own theme? If so, what is the package name I should use (or
search-for)?
Using Synaptic Package Manager, searching for 'lubuntu', I do not
see anything that resembles "lubuntu session settings daemon".
Do you know what the package name is for it?

Aere
Aere, it depends on what kind of theme you are making. If you
want the widgets (buttons, progress bars etc...) that is GTK,
which I don't know a whole lot about.
If you are talking about window borders, etc.. that is openbox.
Openbox themes are simple xml files, that you can edit by hand (or
programatically if you fancy).
Before you go downloading Geany for some Openbox fun try out:
http://box-look.org/
You can also browse for GTK themes:
http://xfce-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=100
(If I remember Lubuntu might support GTK3 also... but I don't know
for 100% sure off the top of my head)
I hope this helps
I think the package with the issue is related to the lxsession
package.... but Rafael, or one of the developers may have a better
idea what part is actually the problem.
