Issue with text color in plugin

I have this issue with the xfce4-clipman-plugin and datetime plugin on Linux Mint 19.1 on a dark wallpaper.

Changing in ~$ /.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

#datetime-21* {
   color: #FFFFFF;
}

to

#datetime-21* {
   color: #000000;
}

gives me that effect.

Any way to overcome this?

Re: Issue with text color in plugin

By specifying everything (*) below the widget name your snippet also affects the menu. To focus only on the button widget itself, use:

#datetime-21>button {
   color: #FFFFFF;
}

Note: you can also use:

#xfce-panel-toggle-button { color: #FFFFFF; }

A number of xfce4-panel plugins use a toggle button that has this widget name - so you might be able to affect more than just one plugin. Plus you don't need to know the actual plugin ID value.
