GTK3 DateTime Plugin Styling [SOLVED]

Trying to change clock font color in panel #2

Added those lines from here and did a reboot. No change.

Might be to stupid for Xfce and have to stick with KDE  (-;

br and thank you for helping .....

style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
  ## opacity of text background (0 - 255, 0 = transparent)
  XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 0
  XfdesktopIconView::selected-label-alpha = 150
XfdesktopIconView::cell-spacing = 1
XfdesktopIconView::cell-padding = 1
XfdesktopIconView::cell-text-width-proportion = 2.1
##  XfdesktopIconView::ellipsize-icon-labels = 0
  ## Text colors you can delete these if you want you use gtk theme colors
  fg[NORMAL] = "#ffffff"
}

#

style "appmenu_font_colour" {
        fg[NORMAL] = "#729fcf"
        fg[PRELIGHT] = "#729fcf"
        fg[SELECTED] = "#729fcf"
        fg[ACTIVE] = "#729fcf"
}
widget "*datetime-*" style "appmenu_font_colour"

#

widget_class "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"

style "my-details-view"
{
   GtkTreeView::horizontal-separator = 10
}
widget_class "*ThunarDetailsView*" style "my-details-view"

Re: GTK3 DateTime Plugin Styling [SOLVED]

Which version of the datetime plugin are you using? As of 0.7.0, it has been converted to a GTK3 plugin (in preparation for 4.14, as have many other plugins). In which case, to style it you need to use GTK3 styling configurations. So in your particular case, add to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css the following snippet:

#datetime-8* {
   color: #729fcf;
}

Unfortunately, the datetime plugin doesn't appear to have a dedicated style class defined so you need to specify the actual plugin id (#datetime-8*) to access it.

The rabbit hole starts here. Also helpful is the GTK Inspector which will allow you to see and manipulate the style classes, widgets, etc. With respect to xfce4-panel, you would do the following:

xfce4-panel -q
GTK_DEBUG=interactive xfce4-panel
