    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.
