Notes
Later versions of Mint MATE use GTK3 (according to one source) or possibly Metacity, which no longer includes the color-picker tool that Mint used to present as a "Colors" tab in Control Center -> Appearance Preferences > [Customize...]
because the style definition now uses a .xml file that is rather complicated (and possibly undocumented?).
The .CSS files, and associated images, are located in /usr/share/themes
; the user's current preference is stored in ~/.themes/<username>/index.theme
. Note that the value of MetacityTheme=
needs to be set to the name of the theme's folder, not the content of the .xml file's <metacity_theme><info><name>
tag. (It's not clear if that content is ever actually used anywhere.)
