If I restart eclipse I get the updated colors.  If I simply change which eclipse palette I am using it doesn't pick them up (should it?)

Oddly though on Vista title bars don't actually track title bar color changes via the Appearance -> Advanced dialog.

Close bug as WORKSFORME?

OK, updated Vista and now I get a *different* color dialog and behaviour this time (but which matches/confirms your report, Tod).

1. In Vista, go to desktop->Personalize->Window Color and Appearance
2. Change color to say Red
3. You will notice all the title bars change colors
4. Run the color dialog (attached)
5. You will still get the old default colors (gray/blue blends) for TITLE_BACKGROUND, TITLE_BACKGROUND_GRADIENT, etc.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
