@NicoHood I'm not an XFCE user so I can't really say if the following change works in general so please can you test?
It appears that that appearance window is a GTK-2 window - so gtk-2 stuff is in common/gtk-2.0
so the text color/fg color between the arc (gtkrc) arc-darker (gtkrc-darker) and arc-dark (gtkrc-dark) are different deliberately at the moment.
if you change the fields shown in the picture to be the same as Arc (gtkrc) then the text colour is the same - if you feel this looks better, push a commit on that file
Cant we use variables for this? Otherwise every change in colors will need manual change of the gtk2 files. And gtk2 will be supported for some long time I guess.
I'm willing to be wrong ... but I think variables only work for SASS - the gtk-2 stuff isnt SASS based.
I saw some kind of variables here, I do not know where they come from!? https://github.com/NicoHood/arc-theme/blob/master/common/gtk-2.0/panel.rc#L7
ah - "@selected_bg_color" corresponds to the color-scheme name in gtkrc or gtkrc-dark or gtkrc-darker
i.e.
gtk-color-scheme = "selected_bg_color: #5294e2"
so the theme sees "@selected_bg_color" and looks up the color scheme name and uses the value "#5294e2" So - "@selected_bg_color" could be regarded as a variable - its just defined in each gtkrc file.
I found out that the darker colors are not applied to arc-darker:
