Re: Making an XFCE theme

That did not work, but

window.thunar menubar menuitem:hover {
    background-color: #a5a5a5;
}

did work

But now when i hover over a menuitem, the background of the text, specifically, is black.

Re: Making an XFCE theme

Its really odd that you need to add "window" as a designator.

Maybe add a label background color:

window.thunar menubar menuitem:hover {
    background-color: #a5a5a5;
}
window.thunar menubar menuitem:hover label  {
    background-color: #a5a5a5;
}

Though I can't replicate any of this on my system. Are you able/willing to share your complete theme code?

Re: Making an XFCE theme

Did not resolve problem :-(

I feel like I'm chasing my tail trying to change these colors.

Here is what it looks like right now.
I'm sorry, but when the menu window is open, i cannot take a screenshot, for some reason.

window.thunar menubar menuitem
seems to set for both the menubar menuitem *and* the menubar window

Re: Making an XFCE theme

okay

.thunar #main-menu {
    background-color: #a5a5a5;
    color: black
    margin: 10px;
    padding-left: 5px;
}

window.thunar #main-menu menuitem:hover {
    background-color: black;
}

window.thunar #main-menu menuitem:hover label  {
    background-color: black;
        color: #a5a5a5;
}

window.thunar menuitem label{
    background-color: #a5a5a5;
    color: black;
}

window.thunar #main-menu menuitem window menu {
    background-color: black;
    color: #a5a5a5;
}

window.thunar #main-menu window menuitem:hover {
    background-color: #a5a5a5;
    color: black;
}

window.thunar #main-menu window menuitem:hover label {
    background-color: #a5a5a5;
    color: black;
}

This does get me what i want EXCEPT in sub-menus.
I cant figure out how to get it to apply to sub-menus, too
