Modified Arc-Dark-Grey, can't find panel text color

[tblancher]

I have modified Arc Darker Grey (calling it Arc Darkest Grey), primarily with black panels and window tops, with white window bodies. The theme is pretty much perfect for me, except for one thing: the panel text is a dim grey on the black panel, and try as I might I can't figure out which CSS parameter I need to modify to change it.

I've attached a tarball (.tar.xz) of my current theme, and a screenshot with the panel text highlighted. Can you shed some light on which CSS color I need to change? I figure I'd just make it #ffffff so it stands out against the black.

Hmm, for the flashback panel the selectors should be something like

panel-toplevel.background menubar,
panel-toplevel.background #PanelApplet label,
panel-toplevel.background #PanelApplet image { color: #ffffff }

If that doesn't work try this too

panel-toplevel.background button,
panel-toplevel.background #tasklist-button { color: #ffffff }

What file should I put that in? I can't find anything that says panel-toplevel.background. I do find one stanza with PanelApplet, in both gtk-3.0/gtk.css and gtk-3.0/gtk-dark.css, but changing the color to #ffffff doesn't do anything.

I've also tried changing the tasklist-button item you mentioned below, with no luck. If I choose the standard Arc them, the panel text does get lighter, but I don't know which color I need to change.

I feel so close...
