Change background of Workspace Switcher in Panel

#1 Post by crispi »

Hi :hug:

One thing I found a bit annoying was that you could barely ( in my case not ) see which workspace is active in the workspace switcher in the panel.

After some Google mining I found this :

1 - Open the hidden file ~/home/your username/.config as root.
2 - open gtk-3.0
3 - Open gtk.css
4 - Add code :

Code: Select all

wnck-pager { background: #333; color: #ccc }

wnck-pager:selected { background: #ff9900; color: black }
Close and restart.

With these color settings this is the result :
