Tweaking Zorin Appearance

I have a stupid question, and it's not important, I am just so curious about it.
How can I tweak Zorin Appearance and add new accent color?
I have a dark folder icon set base on Zorin icon sets, I want to add it to Zorin Appearance. I couldn't find the app to check how it is.

Thanks for your time.

It's not a stupid question.

Did you look in the Other tab for your icons or color theme (shown in your image, but not selected)?

I know that, I am curious about hard coding the Zorin Appearance and add new accent color :grin:
A new button (that's dark one I have added by Photopea) to change accent automatically, somehow I like to add my icon set to that

Ok gotcha, you want to edit or add entries on the Zorin side of the tab.

Well you've made me go take a look now, not something I've bothered to look at, but this is a start:


I unfortunately have to get ready for a wedding, but the file to edit the main screen of zorin-appearance the way you want is
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/zorin_appearance
That being said, as an example I have added the "zorinMagenta" to both themes and theme backgrounds, however I haven't gone any further as to locate the next location to make it function correctly.

EDIT: Make these changes at your own peril. I love breaking things, so I don't care what happens, but yeah

Replying to my own comment so I know what to look for later: the Css is located here:
/usr/share/zorin-appearance/css
To edit the button to actually match the correct colour desired. Still need to look further for the link to actual changes this makes

Let's break something... and have great moments at wedding
I searched for these files, but I couldn't find anything.

Thank you very much, it works as I thought.
