How to change the high-lite background color

Aravisian · 18 January 2022 04:32

Save the following in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

.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);
}

Change the rgba value to anything you desire. That is a Blue Color I have put there.
Log out and in to see the change.

Did you kill the browser and relaunch it?

Frog · 19 January 2022 02:36

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

Aravisian · 19 January 2022 02:37

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

Aravisian · 19 January 2022 02:55

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 .....

Aravisian · 19 January 2022 03:34

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.

Frog · 19 January 2022 04:01

It didn't work still has black background when I try to copy and past any text on the posts ..... here is what I ended up with .....

Going to try and log out and back in ....

Frog · 19 January 2022 04:08

Interesting when I click on the Themes Setting in Systems Settings it doesn't open all the others work though .... and still no go with the copy and paste ..... I can copy and past I just can't see what I'm coping .....

OK I went back to the

And deleted what we added .... now my Theme Setting is back ....

Aravisian · 19 January 2022 04:19

Did you run

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

?

Frog · 19 January 2022 04:21

The first time yes but I'll do it again ....

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

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.

Frog · 19 January 2022 04:55

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

Frog · 19 January 2022 05:07

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 ....

Aravisian · 19 January 2022 05:12

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