Materia-theme: [Question] Change font color text panel

[Philippe734]

Questioner Info

• Materia version: 20190831
• GTK3 version: 3.22.30
• Distribution (and version): Ubuntu Mate 18.04
• Desktop environment (and version): Mate 1.20.1
• Theme used: Materia light compact

Description

I wish to modify the font color of the text of the panel bar, in order to set white. Currently, the original font text color used by materia-light-compact is grey. Please, could you tell me what file in the theme folder modify and what variables in the file to modify. I already investigated and tested some changes in gtk.css as the value of insensitive_fg_color but with no success. What file and what variable(s) to modify in order to change the color of text in panel bar ? I mean the font of text as the date and the titles windows opened in the panel bar:

) ? Thanks in advance.

Hi @Philippe734, try this:

1. Clone the repository.
2. Open src/_sass/gtk/apps/_mate.scss with your text editor.
3. Replace _all_ text2 string with text.
4. Run ./parse-sass.sh.
5. Run sudo ./install.sh.
6. Reload the theme.

what variables

We use our Sass function on() instead of Sass variables for the text colors in MATE Panel :)

Thank you to taken time to reply to me. I did your suggestion. But the result is weird. Font text color of panel is white, good!, but many buttons are blue without shadow effect, see:

but many buttons are blue without shadow effect

It's actually unrelated with my suggestion - it's just an intended change in the latest Materia :)
(But I’m planning to revert that change because I thought it was not a very good idea.)
