You will need to provide a custom CSS definition to override the GtkTreeView 'sorted' column background color: GtkTreeView column:sorted { background-color: #000000; /* specify custom background color for the 'sorted' column here */ } GtkTreeView column:sorted row:nth-child(even) { background-color: #101010; /* specify custom background color for alternate rows if rules-hint is true */ } You should be able to change the colors by updating the existing CSS definitions, or by adding a new set of styles via Gtk.CssProvider ----------------- Lance Capser -----Original Message----- From: gtk-list [mailto:gtk-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of alexsson Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2014 2:12 AM To: gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx Subject: How to change one specific color in GtkTreeView I use FlatStudioDark GTK theme from here: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=154296 In that theme I have some problems to change one specific color (I think is one of the GtkTreeView element). Let me show you with pictures. You see in the picture the file-browser "Thunar", I want to have the same color over all rows and columns, for example the columns: "Name", "Size", "Type" all show the same colors in each row, but the selected "Date Modified" on the right is more dark for the rows (or area). How do I change the darkened color in "Date Modified" to be the same as the other columns and rows? <http://gtk.10911.n7.nabble.com/file/n85693/screenshot2.png> -- View this message in context: http://gtk.10911.n7.nabble.com/How-to-change-one-specific-color-in-GtkTreeView-tp85693.html Sent from the Gtk+ - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
