Is it possible to style the window boxes in the workspace switcher?

Hello!

I am using a dark theme and have the workspace switcher (wnck-pager) on a panel. When windows are open in a workspace, they show up on the workspace switcher with an icon and a white border around the window. Is it possible to change/remove this white border in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css? I added some styling to the workspace switcher there (blue background for selected, gray for hover), but I cannot find any css elements targeting the windows within the workspace switcher. Playing with border and border-color do not seem to do anything.

I am running XFCE v4.14 on Ubuntu 20.04 (focal fossa) in a crouton chroot on ChromeOS if that information is helpful.

Thanks so much!

Try something like:

#pager-4 { color: blue; }

...where pager-4 is the name of the actual widget that you can get by hovering over it in the Panel Properties > Items tab. This will affect the border color.

That did it! I used:

$pager-22 { color: transparent; }

and the workspace switcher looks great now. Thanks so much!
