Editing a theme (background colors)

So I downloaded the popular axiom theme ( https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1016679/ ).

With the dark version, the background color of the selected menu entry is not much darker then the normal background. I would like it more highlighted.
What should I change here?

# Set GtkSettings color scheme property.
# This can be overriden (via an xsetting) with eg. the gnome-appearance-properties.
gtk_color_scheme = "fg_color:#dbdbdb\nbg_color:#2c2c2c\nbase_color:#4d4d4d\ntext_color:#dbdbdb\nselected_bg_color:#8c8e90\nselected_fg_color:#dbdbdb\ntooltip_bg_color:#F5F5B5\ntooltip_fg_color:#000"

Re: Editing a theme (background colors)

In the section:

style "clearlooks-menu-item"
{
  xthickness = 2
  ythickness = 3

  fg[PRELIGHT] = @selected_fg_color
}

...add a bg[SELECTED] directive. Something like:

style "clearlooks-menu-item"
{
  xthickness = 2
  ythickness = 3

  fg[PRELIGHT] = @selected_fg_color
  bg[SELECTED] = "#ff0000"
}

Change the red color to suit.

Note: this theme is not a GTK3 theme - so you will have issues with GTK3 apps.

Which menu are you testing it against? Is it by chance from a GTK3 app?

Try right-clicking on the desktop to test. Also post back your complete edited gtkrc file.

That's what I was doing. But I see no changes to the selected entry background color.

BTW, what GTK3 similar theme would you suggest, just in case? I like this dark-but-not-too-dark-look.

Re: Editing a theme (background colors)

That is strange since it works here. Do you have anything in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 that might be overriding it?

Arc-Dark Grey is very similar. It's based on the Arc theme and is GTK 3.20-compliant.

Re: Editing a theme (background colors)

Probably those work-around code lines near the end?
e.g. style "clearlooks-menuitem-text-is-fg-color-workaround"

The theme you suggested does not support my Xubuntu 14.04.

That workaround would only affect combo-box menus.

The theme you suggested does not support my Xubuntu 14.04.

So you have an older version of GTK3 and don't have to worry about the GTK3.20 issues yet.. The axiom theme doesn't have GTK3 support so you're probably better off getting another one. Here is a thread that discusses dark grey themes and links to some suggestions. You can also try searching through xfce-look to see if you find anything interesting.
