Header font weight in thunar sidebar.

I've been trying to adjust the header fonts in Thunar's side pane to appear standard, but I'm running into an issue; I just cannot seem to change it.

Current appearance of the Thunar side pane.

I experimented with GTK-inspector by adding a font-weight and font-style property targeting the selector ".thunar treeview.view header" including several other selectors, but the change had no effect; the font weight remains unchanged. I have also noticed that the header font size is a bit bigger as well.

For further clarification, here's an image detailing the issue:

This is a image I edited in GIMP to represent the wanted result:

Is it possible to make the header font weight normal at all? Any insights on how to achieve this customization would be greatly appreciated!

I can't affect this element either. Looks like its somehow hard-coded.

Re: Header font weight in thunar sidebar.

You can look into the system theme if it is accessible for changes, i.e. if it is not a gresource file.
Search terms would be menu, menuitem, sidepane or headerbar.

Re: Header font weight in thunar sidebar.

Thank you for the replies!

Hmm... perhaps there are no solutions to this problem. I have tried experimenting with several tools over the past months to achieve the result (such as GTK-Inspector and several template themes), but without success, therefore, I thought this forum could be the only way to solve my problem, but it does not look like it might be solved here either.

Oof...

Perhaps there is an internal setting I have to adjust or a configuration file I need to edit. I hope someone could get a further look at it.
