I believe you may need to explore the window manager. Starting the X
Server with the default startxwin.bat or startxwin.sh normally fires up
a window manager. By default, it's typically twm. twm (or whichever
window manager you're using) is in charge of the title bars, and their
colors.

I created a .twmrc in my home directory with these lines:

     Color
     {
         DefaultBackground "rgb:2/a/9"
         DefaultForeground "gray85"
         TitleBackground "rgb:2/a/9"
         TitleForeground "gray85"
     }

Check the twm manual page for more details.
