How to have light theme with dark window titlebar on Ubuntu 22.04?

I have updated my Ubuntu to 22.04.1 version and with this new version of gnome I can't change the color of Window Title Bar. So, in the older version, the Yaru theme (example) the title bar looks like:

I the new version, with the same configuration (as far I know), the title bar looks:

I tried to change the color in the configuration of the gtk.css file, without success - I can't find the border colors and the look doesn't seem perfect. I read something about the new libraries not allowing this change, but I don't know if it's true.

So, my question is: how I can change the color of title bar and borders to get the older visual style? It may sound silly, but for me the light bar is very uncomfortable and the dark mode is not for me

I appreciate any help.
Thank you for your time.

Yaru changed the default titlebar color. However, you can use the Yaru-classic theme.

Download the .deb packages from GitHub, and install them one by one.

Alternatively, enter the following commands one by one.

wget https://github.com/lourkeur/yaru-classic/releases/download/22.04.4.1/yaru-theme-gnome-shell_22.04.4+git1c2f3f91_all.deb

wget https://github.com/lourkeur/yaru-classic/releases/download/22.04.4.1/yaru-theme-gtk_22.04.4+git1c2f3f91_all.deb

wget https://github.com/lourkeur/yaru-classic/releases/download/22.04.4.1/yaru-theme-icon_22.04.4+git1c2f3f91_all.deb

wget https://github.com/lourkeur/yaru-classic/releases/download/22.04.4.1/yaru-theme-sound_22.04.4+git1c2f3f91_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i yaru-theme-*.deb

sudo apt install -f

Finally, switch to the Yaru classic theme in appearance settings.
