Text box border: how to change the color when windows are unfocused?

D.dave · 2021-01-21 17:59:58

Hi, in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css I set:

entry {
background: #232323;
border-color: #ff9800;
border-radius: 0;
border-width: 2px;
}

And so, as expected, I always have such border of orange color:

(I take Task Manager as example, but also is the same for Thunar)

But when such windows are unfocused , I still get the orange border:

I tried to set entry:unselected and entry:backdrop, entry:disabled but unsuccessfully.

What I'm tyring to achieve is: when a window is unfocused, the border should have the color #4c4c4c

How can achieve this?

Thank you.

Try setting both entry and entry:backdrop like this:

entry {
    background: #232323;
    border-color: #ff9800;
    border-radius: 0;
    border-width: 2px;
}
entry:backdrop {
    background: #232323;
    border-color: #4c4c4c;
    border-radius: 0;
    border-width: 2px;
}

If I set both, the color remains #ff9800 when focused and unfocused; if I set only entry:backdrop, when focused is #ff9800 and when unfocused is black (seems that there is no border color).

Maybe there is something wrong with the global theme which I'm using. Css files here:

Your css code seems to work for me.
