Search bar seems to have hard-coded background color #240

If I use a dark theme (try Xfce-dusk) I get a white background.

With some other dark themes, I get white-on-white text with invisible buttons. I recognize that theming is a problem, and that this is partially related to the constant changes in gtk3 theming over the last few years.

I use dark themes because light themes blast me in the eyes. :) Is there any chance to fix this?

Honestly, though, I'd prefer if the search bar was more terminal-like instead of GUI-like. I get rid of all GUI elements in my usage of tilda. (No title-bar, no scroll-bar, etc.)

Aloha!

I think I remember pushing something like that. At that time I probably did not have dark themes in mind. I think you can overwrite the default color using a custom stylesheet as a work around. When I have some more time I will fix this.

Thanks for responding. I searched for an XML file, but couldn't locate one. I presume it's therefore involved in the compile process somehow, which is beyond me.

Glad to wait. Love tilda!

Take a look at the wiki, in the section Border Issues its explained how to add a custom style.css, create that file and add some rule to style the background for example:

search {

background-color: #000;

}

If you are running are recent GTK+ version and you have enabled the org.gtk.settings.debugger.enable-inspector-keybinding option in the dconf-editor, then you can also use GTK Inspector to investigate the styling.

Oh, hey, thanks! I'll investigate.

Aloha,
