Adding borders to .thunar .sidebar .view

Hello, I have a problem with adding a border to ".thunar .sidebar .view"
on this moment is my configuration as follows:

Code wrote:

.thunar .sidebar .view {
    background-color: #0089DA;
   border-left: 10px solid red;
   
}

This creates :

view
view

As you can see the border goes halfway!  Its supposed to go fully over the view tab.

How can i solve this , I would really like to make a border there.

Hope somebody can help me !

Hello and welcome.

The ".view" class is for only the visible items in the list, not the whole container. To achieve what you looking to do, remove ".view" and it will apply to the whole container.

Where did you put the css? Which theme are you using and can you post back the exact css.

Re: Adding borders to .thunar .sidebar .view

Chicago95's gtk-frames.css file uses images to create the border elements and these are overriding your tweaks.

If you add:

border-image-source: none;

...into your first ".thunar .sidebar" block, you'll see it turn red. The other frame borders will need to be tweaked as well to match I guess.

Hey thanks a lot ! I would like to ask one more question...

What tools are handy for theme editing?

Thanks a lot for solving my issue. I really appreciate your knowledge!
