Follow-up:
I’m not sure what was wrong the first time, but the following does work for all
text on the CoA tab but does not change the header row:
#account_tree {
color: *your-color-here*;
}
#account_tree:selected {
color: *other-color-here*;
}
If there was a need to address the GtkLabels directly, that doesn’t seem
possible. According to the spec, it should be to style the node by type, but it
isn’t working. (at least in 3.18)
The class ‘label’ is also not working properly. It seems to only apply to
toolbar button labels and the header row of the CoA table.
Using the GtkInspector, I added the label class to the GtkTreeViewAccountView
widget and it worked properly though. So perhaps the code needs to somehow
include this for it to work. (my reading of the Gtk-css reference doesn’t seem
to make this clear, with the impression that one can specify a node or a label
regardless)
There should probably be something on the wiki documenting this, as well as all
the relevant selectors. (some are documented on Git as part of a sample css
file) If I have page permissions I’ll start one, but if not I’ll have to file a
wiki bug and wait for it to be created.

Adrien
