I found the qubes.xml file!

I can manually edit the colors and the order of them!

But it doesnt actually do anything.

Is there a way around this? I want to change the colors and order!

I found this:
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2523
which suggests that its... not possible in 3.2?
But maybe in 4?

Im not entirely sure, but it seemed like a maybe.

Has anyone done this?

You can set colors inside each VM Settings dialog. Don't think there's a
way to manually specify order.

Ah, I mean to change the values of each color.

I want my green to be #00ffae and by blue to #00ffff!

Vibrance!

IIRC, you can't edit the Xfce4 Qubes colors, but for KDE5 you can change
them in /home/user/.local/share/qubes-kde folder. At least you can with
Qubes 3.2; I don't know about Qubes 4.0 at this point.

Thats awesome! The colors did change, however the files were not persistent.

Im going to try writing a script that overwrites the files on startup.

With xfce4, is there any way to change the title bar color of the default adwaita theme. I want to keep the theme, but having dom0 as "blue" takes away from an already limited set of domain colors used for vms. I don't want dom0 looking too much like a DomU.
