Inconsistent text and icon color

[jan_v]

I dont know if this is just the theme that i use or maybe somethings wrong. The "Activities" icon button(far left) is a different color its color a dark blue-ish color. Unlike the other in the top panel which are gray.

Also the text color in the Applications Menu is the same dark blue-ish color. Which makes the texts hard to see.

App Theme: Graphite-Light
Shell Theme: Graphite-Light
Icons Theme: ZorinGrey-Dark

If i use the ZorinGrey-Drak as my Shell Theme it does change the texts to white which kinda fix the main problem but i still wanna use the Graphite-Light Theme

Switch to Graphite Dark should fix it. Or try modify the blur level to transparent.

[jan_v]

Graphite-Dark unfortunately still has the same dark blue-ish color on the texts and icons. Ill use my ZorinGrey-Dark as my Shell Theme for now

Else you have to dip your toes into .css coding if you want to change it.

[jan_v]

Sure, i know a bit of CSS, im trying to learn Web Dev. In the CSS file for Graphite-Light it says "This stylesheet is generated, DO NOT EDIT " Is it okay for me to share/edit this file?

[Storm]

I'm not sure whithout knowing the codes.
You can also ask Aravisian he's more into .css theming than I, as I have moved to KDE a while back.
But again editing the themes seems futile when Zorin 18 comes with the new Gnome version.

Yes, this is a know Color Bug here on Zorin 17. I have already posted something to this, too with somekind of workaround:

Weird Colors in the Gnome Shell

Okay, Ladies and Gentlemen! I have an Update. I simply wanted install a GDM Theme from the Graphite GTK Theme. For this I had to use not the Files from gnome-look.org Instead I had to use the Installer Script from the Developer's Github Page: So, I installed the GDM Theme but it didn't worked. I have still the Zorin GDM Theme. I don't know why, but for now that doesn't matter. The Thing is: after the Installation the Themes work in the Gnome Shell without this weird Color Issue: [Bildschir…

Another User here went a different Way and made a .css File to handle that:

Dark themes with blue text bug

I managed to solve it somehow. In the custom/third-party gnome.shell.css, add the following in the end (included the fix from above too): /* ---------- Add these lines to fix shell themes in Zorin OS ---------- */ /* ---------- It must be added in the end of the gnome-shell file (/home/user/.themes/my-theme-name/gnome-shell/gnome-shell.css) ---------- */ /* ---------- It will fix the blue font color in some dark custom themes and blue gradient issues in quick settings and elsewhere ---------- *…

I believe this is caused by a combination of LibAdwaita and ZorinGroups circumventing it - and the color accents that are part of Zorin Themes bleeding in due to them overriding the LibAdwaita - which the LibAdwaiata is trying to override the Zorin Themes.

[Ponce-De-Leon]

When I should be right, it is this File what makes the Issue:
/use/share/gnome-shell/theme/ZorinBlue-Light/gnome-shell-theme.gresource

[jan_v]

should i delete it?

[Ponce-De-Leon]

What delete? The File that I've wrote down? No. I tried that and then my System way broke. Fortunately, I had the File copied before remove it. So, I could copy it back in the Live Mode.

Or do You mean Your Theme?

Update: I’m posting this in case anyone else is looking for a solution to a similar problem. Downloading from the github page of the theme and running the install.sh from the terminal did helped. (from Ponce's post, the first one)
