How to add a special background to Cinnamon menu applet?

[Brahim Salem]

I want to give Cinnamon menu applet a special background colour with code (NO png) to make it look like the below hover colour?

/* ===================================================================
* PopupMenu (popupMenu.js)
* ===================================================================*/
.popup-menu-boxpointer {
-arrow-border-radius: 8px;
-arrow-background-color: rgba(80,80,80,0.9);

Edit the part in red for the correct color. Edit the part in green for the desired transparency.

The Agave color picker is a good way to match the color to your hover color. (gimp works, also.)

In Cinnamon.css go to applet.js (in the Cinnamon specific section) and change the ".applet-box: hover" to whatever color you wish.
