Preselected buttons hard to find

I use Mint 21 Xfce

Where am I supposed to ask if I want it made easier to see what button in a menu I have chosen.?

Maybe it is because I am getting old and don't see so well I find it hard to see what button is preselected.

It is a bit in general but here it is for instance xfce4-session-logout :

https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-session/logout
https://github.com/numixproject/numix-g … issues/739

I can't see what will happen if the user press Enter.

Re: Preselected buttons hard to find

You can tweak it with CSS. For example, to make the background blue for the focused button:

.xfsm-logout-buttons button:focus { background: none; background-color: blue }

More tweaking info here (courtesy kbar).

Thank you.

If I want it changed in a Mint edition will it be something Mint programmers can do or is it perhaps Xfce developers domain.?

Re: Preselected buttons hard to find

Its part of the theme so whoever developed the theme (Mint programmers?) could enhance the theme css to make this change. Or you can just add the snippet to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css if you wanted to make the change on your computer only.

Re: Preselected buttons hard to find

We can customize and come to terms with a lot of things.
I just have to say it seems all wrong to me if the default Xfce design keeps the preselected key a secret.
And I believe that is the case since it is the same in Xubuntu as in Mint Xfce.

Can we find any good reason or excuse for it at all.?

Re: Preselected buttons hard to find

Have a read through this open bug report. It discusses the focus issue towards the bottom.
