gtk.css - any pointers to a list of supported properties?

I've been trying to customize some of the properties for desktop icons in xfdesktop 4.14.2.

Searching in this forum and elsewhere leads to occasional snippets of css to change some properties such as icon label colors, etc. but I haven't been able to find anything that lists exactly what can and cannot be modified via $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css. Is there such a reference anywhere?

Re: gtk.css - any pointers to a list of supported properties?

Have a read through this post. It's a pretty complete list of available GTK3 tweaks for xfdesktop.

Unfortunately, there really is no specific one "reference" that lists everything. Places to look include:
- official documentation
- source code (if you are able to read source)
- GTK3 documentation (since Xfce is built on GTK3). Probably the best advise is to get a better understanding of the toolkit.
- The GtkInspector is also very useful. Have a read through this post for a quick walk-through on how it can be used.
- The Greybird theme is maintained by one of the Xfce developers. This theme will have a very complete list of themable settings for Xfce components.

And this forum, Feel free to ask any specific questions you may have.
