Styling of xfce4-session-logout

Hi there,

since Xubuntu 19.10 beta the xfce4-session-logout program has a bright gui theme. Previously it was dark with the Numix theme. When I set gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme from GtkSettings with the Gtk Inspector to true then everything looks fine. Has any body an idea how to make this permanent only for this little program? xfce4-session-logout has a bright gui even when I select a dark theme like "Adwaita dark".

Many thanks,

Re: Styling of xfce4-session-logout

That is probably a bug. You should let the Xubuntu team know. Here is some sample code to affect the elements on the logout dialog:

.xfsm-logout-dialog {
	-gtk-icon-theme: "Vibrancy-Colors-Dark";
	
 	min-width: 20px;
 	min-height: 25px;
  	margin-top: 2px;
  	padding-bottom: 3px;
  	padding-left: 6px;
  	padding-right: 6px;
  	color: #eeeeec;
  	background-color: #393f3f;
  	border: 1px solid;
  	border-color: #393f3f;
  	border-radius: 5px;
  	font-size: smaller; 
}

.xfsm-logout-dialog button {
	background-image: none;
   	color: #eeeeec;
  	background-color: #393f3f;
  	border: 1px solid;
  	border-color: #393f3f;
}

Re: Styling of xfce4-session-logout

Sorry, I might not have been clear. I found the previous bug report for this issue. It was fixed and released with xfce4-session 4.13.4. I can confirm that it works properly now and I am running 4.14.

Can you confirm which version is installed in Xubuntu 19.04? If it is 4.14, you might need to create a xubuntu (launchpad) bug report because something else might be happening there.

Re: Styling of xfce4-session-logout

I tried to mimic the dark gui which I have when I set gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme to true within the Gtk inspector. Here is my code:

/* dark theme for xfce4-session-logout */
.xfsm-logout-dialog {
	color: #eeeeec;
	background-color: #333333;
	border-width: 0px;
	box-shadow: none;
}

.xfsm-logout-dialog button {
	color: #eeeeec;
	background-color: #626262;
}

.xfsm-logout-dialog button:hover, .xfsm-logout-dialog button:focus {
	background-color: #767676;
}

The only little piece I couldn't find is how to make the checkbox dark.

Re: Styling of xfce4-session-logout

I don't have time to test this right now, but you should be able to use something like ".xfsm-logout-dialog check { }" to access the checkbox.

Re: Styling of xfce4-session-logout

It's not that important. We shouldn't be nit-picking here. Anyway, thank you for your help
