As far as I know, GTK3 themes won't ignore gtkrc stuff for non-GTK3 apps, and Meld doesn't (yet) support GTK 3. Documentation for customising the colours is in-progress, but in the meantime... All of the customisable colours are listed in data/gtkrc (http://git.gnome.org/browse/meld/tree/data/gtkrc). -bg and -outline are used for file comparisons, the side bar and the central bar. -text is used for folder and version control comparisons. With the exception of current-line-highlight, everything is named in terms of the state it's used to represent in a comparison. To override these colours (assuming you're running Meld from recent git... the version with gtkrc support is unreleased) you can either directly edit the gtkrc file Meld reads, or create a "~/.gtkrc-2.0" file of your own to add overrides to. You probably want to increase the priority from the "lowest" that we use by default. Hope that helps. cheers, Kai _______________________________________________ meld-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/meld-list
