XFCE4-Notes Hyperlink Colors

I'm running XFCE 4.16 (Latest Manjaro)

I run a darker color scheme and when you paste a weblink into XFCE4-Notes, the link turns a dark blue color. This is hard to see with my color scheme. I've tried editing all the options I could think of within the ~/.config/gtk3/gtk.css file, but so far I haven't been able to get this color to change.

Anyone have any suggestions on what options to try?

Re: XFCE4-Notes Hyperlink Colors

This doesn't look very promising. Xfce4-notes uses hypertext in a Textview widget.

Styling the tags of a GtkTextView with CSS is currently not possible with GTK4, and it's not going to be possible with GTK3.

There is also this from the xfce4-notes code:

			this.tag_link = this.buffer.create_tag ("link",
					"foreground", "blue", // TODO use __gdk_color_constrast function
					"underline", Pango.Underline.SINGLE,
					null);

Edit: If you want, you can edit the above line in the code and re-build xfce4-notes to get the hyperlink color to change.

@ToZ, Thanks!

Got it rebuilt with a little brighter of a color.
