Hi,

The GTK inspector looks very useful - thanks.

I assume there is a package that needs installing. A really quick look at Debian packages produced 109 mentioning GTK Inspector.

Any idea which one?

(I tried CTRL + SHIFT + I on a Geany window - no response.)

Hi,

I am making changes only to local geany.css.

I wanted to change background colour to statusbar and sidebar - I guess these come from the desktop theme.

But but surely there must be a list of Geany selectors for all their panes.


Looking in usr/share/themes/TraditionalOK I have found gtk-3.0, and
there  are several references to statusbar.

THere are also a huge number of references to sidebar, which will take quite a while to figure out.

The question is: Is gtk-3.0 the right place to be looking for Geany sidebar?

The changes in geany.css should override everything in the theme, so I think you could keep them in geany.css.

Though better test it yourself, I'm not sure.

Yeah but unlikely to happen because it would require a lot of work probably if possible at all.


In general, I'm very bad at CSS and my GTK theming CSS is even worse :).
But there is one thing that might be helpful:
GTK has an inspector (https://developer.gnome.org/documentation/tools/ inspector.html) which can help to find CSS selectors.
It must be enabled first, see the documentation.

Regards,
Enrico
