Is it possible to make the color of the title bar of the active window different from the rest?



Right now it's black for all windows in my default set-up. I am unable to determine if I can start typing as I don't know which the focused window is.

          This works for me (Ubuntu 18.04 + Gnome 3.28.1):



          nano ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css


          To customize the active title bar background colors use .titlebar and .backdrop (for inactive windows).



          .titlebar 
          background: #3089FF;
          color:white;


          .titlebar:backdrop
          background: #777777;
          color:white;



          After saving the file, remember refresh gnome using this command:



          setsid gnome-shell --replace
