I have recently installed a few themes on Ubuntu MATE 22.04, specifically Midnight. I am using Midnight-Blue for the interface and Midnight-BlueNight for the window borders. Recently, I found that rebooting the machine or signing out and in again will reset the window borders to Yaru/Yaru-light. Is there anyway of setting it to my desired window border all the time? I'm willing to add any other needed details.
Here are some neofetch details if they are needed.

I came across this myself, window borders resetting to Yaru. Bit of a puzzle because I hadn't encounter this before when using metacity themes. For me the solution was as follows.
Apparently, Ubuntu MATE 22.04 ignores metacity themes, after logout or reboot, if there isn't a version-1 file present. Put a blank file named metacity-theme-1.xml next to the metacity-theme-2.xml file, in the relevant metacity-1 directory.
