Strange coloration in Mate's caja

[frankzen]

Noticed this morning that the Windows-10-dark theme creates a strange acqua coloration of the background in Caja in Mate.

@frankzen does a reboot fix it? caja has some weird bugs when switching between themes

[frankzen]

No multiple reboots. I suspect something to do with Murrine engine or themes. I have purged
murrine themes but no change

[frankzen]

No. I have rebooted multiple times. Strangely Cinnamon is not affected colors are correct in that environment. I feel it has something to do with murrine-engine because of the color (acqua). I have removed the murrine themes from my computer but still have it.

@frankzen this is odd. Can you post how it lookd with the Windows 10 Light theme and another theme?

[frankzen]

No need to. I just checked Menta and several other stock themes in Mate and they all show the same effect when Caja opens a directory, that acqua background. In the other themes of source the text is a different color, usually black. Never noticed this before. Caja bug? or something weird? I will try several other things including removing the murrine-engine.

Can't remove gtk-murrine-engine. It wants to pull out 3/4 of Mate. Oh well.

Wow. The dragging of a color onto the background works. Used the color selector to pick black, dragged it onto the background and it changed, and has stayed changed. That's great. Thanks for the tip. I have no idea where the aqua color came from !!

@frankzen maybe a setting that got corrupted or a bad update patch

glad this is fixed! Thanks for the feedback
