#How to customize the titlebar?

Is there a way to change the window titlebar colour without changing the whole Applications theme? I have copied Mint-Y-Sand and replaced every single color setting in gtk.css to find the correct entry but it still refuses to change the titlebar (see picture).

I assume the Applications theme is the correct setting to change this since using a dark theme here does change the colour.
I have also tried to use gtk inspector but it doesn't let me select the title bar, just elements inside the window. Am I missing something in gtk.css / cinnamon.css or should I be looking somewhere else?
Thanks

used to be possible on mint 20.3 and earlier

#

but they got too damn "smart"

#

may try to install metacity (a window manager) and see if it can take the place of muffin but , you'll need a solid research on it

#

then u can d/l and slap metacity themes into it, just like the good ol' days

That's a shame, but I won't bother installing a different manager. At least I was able to switch it to dark and keep everything else in the light theme. Turns out If you copy a light theme and add 'Dark' to the directory name it turns the titlebar dark (and maybe some other things but didn't notice yet). Not exactly the colour that I wanted but still a lot better
Thanks
