Problem: Mint-X-Metal. And how to change/set a GTK theme ?

[Kyle_Jackson]

Hi everybody !

First, I am french, sorry if my english is bad.

I think that my problem is simple: With the GTK theme "Mint-X-Metal", the texts in windows are white since the last upgrade. But it is too difficult to read on a gray background :/
So, it's due to the Mint-X-Metal controls (Appearance preferences>Theme>Customize>Controls) because when I select an other control, have no problem, and it is impossible to solve this problem in "Colours".
There is a screen capture with 4 different apps runned: https://www.dropbox.com/s/njwhjlkx6ftupnn/Monbureau.png

How can I solve the problem please ? And how can I change or set (with a config file for example) the "Mint-X-Metal" control (Appearance preferences>Theme>Customize>Controls) ?


Thanks for your future help and sorry again for my very bad english (probably the worst ).
Good night

You can edit the gtkrc file in Mint Metal folder. It should be located in either home/.themes or in usr/share/themes. Change #FFFFFF to another more readable color.
