Manually change unity-panel font color

[rahidelvi]

I'm running the latest version of Arc on Ubuntu 16.04 with the Unity desktop.

I notice that the font colour of the unity panel is no longer white, like it was in the previous version.

Former version

Current version

I tried editing the following css file with no success

/usr/share/themes/Arc/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

I changed the color value from #f6f7f9 to #ffffffand there was no change.

UnityPanelWidget,
.unity-panel {
 background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #2b2e37);
 color: #f6f7f9;
 box-shadow: none; }
 UnityPanelWidget:backdrop,
 .unity-panel:backdrop {
   color: #bdc6d1; }

Any suggestion on how I make the change?

Do you achieved any solution for this? >:)

@eudennis Not yet 😞

Ok :/ Sad. I'm trying to fix for me too.

where else is f6f7f9 used? (if this is exactly the color of the text)

if you add a border or background or italic, aka something obvious that's unlikely to have been set elsewhere by the theme, will you notice the change so you can prove that that's the right line to edit?

what if you do color: #bdc6d1 !important;?

I was able to edit on Ubuntu 16.10 changeing the line "color" inside UnityPanelWidget and "color" inside "unity-panel:backdrop"
