GTK theme problem

Anybody worked on GTK themes?

I'm trying to find the config variable for the colours of the download
manager progress bar and it's background. I'm now lost in some kind of
text-like jungle. Help!

 

I'm presuming you're talking about Firefox. If so,
then look in the FF Program directory. There you will
find another directory called Chrome, and from there
you will find a file called classic.jar. Open this
file using your zip program and unzip to somewhere.
Now, when you look there, you will find a bunch of
directories. The one you want is Browser. Look at all
the .png and .gif images, and find what you want. Now,
look in the .css files that contains that image and at
should reference the download manager progress bar.

Following on from this...

I've messed about with the Classic theme that defers to whatever the GTK
theme in use defines for most of it's parameters. Thats an adventure I'll
pick up on another day I think. ;\

The clues led me to editing the user's userChrome.css file. I found some
useful tweaks here and there, and even one to set the colors in the
progress meter, but they didn't work.

What seems to be happening is the progress meter background and main
color are taking their parameters from the GTK theme's main panel color
and main panel buttons colors. Even trying to override this in the
userChrome file doesn't work.

Like this...

/* Change the progress bar color */
..progress-bar {
-moz-appearance: none !important;
background-color: #555666 !important;
color: #fff666 !important;
background-image: none !important;
}

....has no effect.


Any ideas folks?

 

it works without problems. Atleast it did for me. Try
using an addon called Stylish:

Responding to Peter Potamus the Purple Hippo:

Yup, Yup, and Yup.

Other mods work fine, its just this particular bit.

Maybe its a syntax thing?

I'll play around with it later.
