Any reason why active window Close button looks that bright?

Dear Pop!_OS Team & Community,
I'm a happy user of this distro for quite some time, and I think I'll stay here.
I am using the Pop-dark theme, and it still seems one of the best.
Describe the problem:
I would really like to understand: why the close button on the active window is that bright ❓
It should be ok to look like that on mouse hover, but implicity, I really like the version of it in the inactive windows.
To address - maybe it's just me, but still - this, I used to extract the CSS file from the .gresource and update it accordingly.
Of course, the other option would be to build it from source by keep watching this repo and react on updates.
Distribution:
Pop!_OS 21.04
Pop version:
pop-gtk-themever.5.3.3~1625837590~21.04~11bcd41
Thanks!
Thanks for your question! The active window close button gets an orange close button to allow the user to better distinguish the active window at a glance. Without the orange close button, there may be very few differences between an active and inactive window, leaving the user confused as to where their input may end up.
Understood. That's a good reasoning. Thanks for the feedback! 🙏
It would be nice to consider in the future options such as:
- having the fg instead of bg in orange
(maybe even all three buttons can have this fg color, so that should bring enough distinction) - control the shadow of the active window
(I used to be a macOS user, and didn't have an issue knowing with window/app is active/has focus)
Meanwhile, I also tried and hide the Close button appearance (through gsettings), but there are windows that cannot be closed with Alt+F4 or Ctrl+w.
There could be another interesting option, but unfortunately that's not available for now: using gnome-tweaks, in Window Titlebars section we have the Titlebar Actions, such as Double-Click, but there is no Close option. 😞
I'll try to find if this can be addressed, of course, that's not Pop!_OS specific.
