I have my mods in the gtk-3.0 folder... your edits/ changes look like they should work just fine.

I know this is obvious but did you verify that your main theme calls the gtk.css stylesheet?

I tried adding my changes to the gtk-3.0 folder files first, but it didn't seem to affect the whisker menu at all. Only editing the /gtk-3.20/gtk-dark.css file worked. At least for this oomox-numix theme.

I assume you are referring to the oomox theme and not the greybird theme.

The gtk-dark.css file originally had this line:

Code: Select all

@import url("resource:///org/numixproject/gtk-3.20/dist/gtk-dark.css");
Are you referring to that? I just added the rest of my edits before this line and left the latter as the last line.

Yes... you might try doing an import of your gtk-3.0/gtk.css

All the css files in gtk-3.0/ subfolder had only that one line. The meat of the theming appeared to be in the css files in gtk-3.0/dist/ subfolder.

[ADDED]
Based on the one-liner in the .css files, I would assume all the stuff in the gtk-3.20/dist subfolders were imported from the numix dev's resources webpage. I guess that for oomox-numix variants, they save on the heavy work that way.

For another theme, if I have to import over a specific css stylesheet file, what is the syntax for the import command?

Code: Select all

@import url("$HOME/.themes/themename/gtk-3.0/gtk.css");

?
