How to change the high-lite background color

I guess I did something wrong as nothing changed ..... see the [/quote] is still black ....

Did you kill the browser and relaunch it?

I shut off my laptop and restarted it ..... should I have just shut down my browser?????

Well, you could have... but rebooting is just as good.

Which browser are you using and how did you install it? That gtk.css file is located in /home/$USER/.config/gtk-3.0, right?

I use Vivaldi

And Azenis2021... I updated this yesterday:

Please run

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Your Vivaldi is using default colors instead of System colors.

  • Paste vivaldi://experiments in a new tab in Vivaldi.
  • Check the box to "Allow for using css modifications."
  • Open Settings > appearance and check the box to Use Native Windows.
  • Go to themes and select Issuna or another that you prefer...

Download this file and then Extract it to your ~/.themes directory:

  • In Vivaldi Settings > Appearance "Custom UI Modifications", click "Select Folder" and navigate to your freshly extracted file: ~/.themes/vivaldi-azenis-theme

It should look like "/home/FROGs$USER/.themes/vivaldi-azenis-theme"

Now close Vivaldi and then relaunch it.

Navigate to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css and comment out what is in the gtk.css (using the /*commented text goes here*/ tags) or remove it entirely.

Sorry but I can't find "Custom UI Modifications in my Appearance setttings .... I have a Menu Customization but no Select Folder option .....

It seems, after enabling

  • Paste vivaldi://experiments in a new tab in Vivaldi.
  • Check the box to "Allow for using css modifications."

Close and relaunch Vivaldi to make the option appear.

This is odd. I am running all the same themes as you are and I installed Vivaldi to test and it is working fine...

Open Software & Updates and remove the Bad Repository for mark-pcnetspec/conky-manager-pm9/ubuntu
and run

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

The system will not run the upgrades until your Sources.list is clean.

If you ever see a Bad Repo in your update- always go in and remove it.
If you want, the good repo for Conky Manager is:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tomtomtom/conky-manager

mike@mike-ROG-Strix-G731GT-G731GT:~$ Software & Updates

What?
No, Frog!

You comment out the css with tags: /* this opens and this> closes*/
It would look like this:

/*.view:hover, iconview:hover, .view:hover:focus, iconview:hover:focus, .view text:hover, iconview text:hover, textview text:hover, iconview text:hover:focus, textview text:hover:focus, flowbox flowboxchild:hover, row:hover, .view:selected, iconview:selected, .view:selected:focus, iconview:selected:focus, .view text:selected, iconview text:selected, textview text:selected, iconview text:selected:focus, textview text:selected:focus, .view text selection:focus, iconview text selection:focus, .view text selection, iconview text selection, textview text selection:focus, textview text selection, flowbox flowboxchild:selected, entry selection, entry selection:focus, row:selected {
     background-color: rgba(0, 170, 255, 0.5);
}*/

If launching from terminal...

software-properties-gtk

Then navigate to the "other software" tab.

OK just updated and upgraded .... so going to check out the problem with the copy feature .....

It worked I now have a nice blue back ground when I copy something on the board ....

Thank you sir .... I hope I didn't cause you to much anguish .... I absolutely know nothing about the inner workings of coding or the terminal and I have to learn as I go along .... not making excuses just the way it is ....

No one is born with the knowledge they need. We have to learn it along the way, usually the hard way...
