How to change active window color in xfce panel?

**vickoxy** · February 18th, 2010

Hi,
i am using one gtk theme - bsm compact silver dark.
Want to change just one thing-the color that indicate active/maximized window in xfce panel. Just to difference active window.
I have no idea what should i change, but i think that i had to modify gtkrc file (as i did at the end to modify desktop icons).

So, if anyyone knows which part i need to change to have new color for active/maximized window, i will be grateful.

I added here the picture of my panel-chrome is maximized, but you can see no difference on screen. And bellow is my gtkrc:

Code:

# Author: BSM

# These are the defined colors for the theme, you can change them in GNOME's appearance preferences.
#gtk_color_scheme = "fg_color:#101010101010\nbg_color:#ebebebebebeb\ntext_color:#1a1a1a1a1a1a\n base_color:#ffffffffffff\n selected_fg_color:#000000000000\n selected_bg_color:#60c4af9dd709\n tooltip_fg_color:#000000000000\n tooltip_bg_color:#f5f5f5f5b5b5"
gtk_color_scheme = "fg_color:#101010101010\nbg_color:#ebebebebebeb\ntext_color:#1a1a1a1a1a1a\nbase_color:#ffffffffffff\nselected_fg_color:#000000000000\nselected_bg_color:#A9A9A9\ntooltip_fg_color:#000000000000\ntooltip_bg_color:#f0f0f0"

**Hero of Time** · February 18th, 2010

Check the panel.rc file and look for bg[ACTIVE]. Change that value and the button will change colour.

**vickoxy** · February 19th, 2010

"Hero of Time" - thanks a lot-that is almost perfect.

Still i want to change only font color-i will tweak little bit there, but i am grateful for this tipp because this is alo very good solution!

**vickoxy** · February 19th, 2010

I think that font colors are not handled in panel.rc-but can not find anything that should point it in gtkrc-i mean, i found colors, but have no idea what to change.

**Hero of Time** · February 19th, 2010

It replaces more than just the panel text colour of the active item, but fg[ACTIVE] is what makes it change.

Well, i changed

Code:

fg[ACTIVE]	= lighter (@selected_bg_color)  # Makes active text colored.

to

Code:

fg[ACTIVE]	= "#5d9cc4" lighter (@selected_bg_color)  # Makes active text colored.

but i got all panel colored in grey:

Ok-another question-i installed one another theme and want to make the same thing with it, but can´t success.

You were right: i should actually make this-

Code:

fg[ACTIVE]	= "#5d9cc4" # Makes active text colored.

So, now is my theme fixed.

Still-if anyone know how to fix the another one-dyne dark

i repeat question:

panel.rc is in previous post...

SOLVED: changed in new theme fg active color.
Thanks Hero of Time
