I made a new style for Notes

Hi,

I made a new style for xfce4-notes-plugin. It works if I change the information in the /usr/share/xfce4-notes-plugin/ folder but to make the change persist after updates I need to supersede the files in a local directory, yes?

This is where I'm drawing a blank. I tried creating a ~/.local/share/xfce4-notes-plugin/ folder but that didn't do anything.

For individual user use, you should place the theming contents in the ~/.config/xfce4/xfce4-notes.css file.

Thanks ToZ but I made a mistake, I'd like to made this change for all users. Is there a way to override the entire /usr/share/xfce4-notes-plugin/ folder for all users?

I'll be poking around in the next little while so we have a race on our hands

Unfortunately, editing the ~/.config/xfce4/xfce4-notes.css file, as you've suggested is no good. It gets overwritten every time a person changes the desktop theme (ie. Appearance > Style tab).

Hmm. It looks like it only saves the background colour in that file (ref: https://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce … tkcss.vala).

Looking at the code, it appears that the only way to do so, is to change the main file.

Thats a bit odd.

So yes my solution was to hack the files mentioned above. For anyone who is interested and I put instructions up on the Manjaro Forum here.
