<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">These are the colors for the window titlbar (with ambiguous function names, though), the default for activeTitleColor used to be #30AEE8 - that is blue!
Now you want to return the active window background (ie. usually gray) - iow: enforce the color alignment that once caused the former KWin maintainer to for the oxygen deco into the new default ozone?
I mean, decorations can still keep their internal color settings (what was somehow required because the titlebar color was initially happily removed from the color kcm - instead one could define the button color in listviews...), but the implication of this change is that the titlbar can no more be individually configured and *has* to align to the window background.
-> The RR should clearly state that central color configuration for titlebars will ultimately be unsupported.
Until then, the change can imo not go in before KF5 anyway, because it's a very visible behavioral change for users of Laptop, Plastik, BII and some legacy decorations (you still /can/ compile Quartz and Keramik and what they all were called) and pot. some distro specific decorations.</pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">KWin reads the setting values by hand in libkdecorations/kdecoration_p.cpp - so actually I was wrong in that aspect: the change in KGlobalSettings will not have a visible impact here - no guarantee for 3rd party decos beyond bespin (esp. on custom config dialogs)
Not sure whether this makes the change better, since now KWin will no longer reflect what KGlobalSettings reports.
I'm not sure how important it is to export those values via KGlobalSettings (i guess they existed to use the colors on MDI windows from KStyle), but even while deprecated, their behavior should not change.
And unless the conclusion is that titlebars shall align to the window content color, the advice should also not be to query that instead. It's better to state "information not avialable" than to give a false information.</pre>

So whatever is set in KGlobalSettings: KWin ignores it.</pre>

Welcome to the magics of KConfig.
I for one have no [WM] entry in kwinrc, it's only in kdeglobal - try grepping it =)
However, KConfig resolves to kdeglobal for *every* rc unless explicitly told do do not, so <advert>
kconfig kdeglobal/WM list
and
kconfig kwinrc/WM list
</advert>
will print the same value (read from kdeglobal) unless you explicitly add a configuration to kwinrc (what's afaics not done anywhere - hopefully ;-)</pre>

Additionally used some apps like filelight with the change, and it seems to work for them as well.</pre>
