[Solved] How to change Nemo's background color?
Posted: Mon Nov 27, 2017 11:42 am
My eyes do not like white background, so I would like to change its color. There is a tutorial, but it does not work in LMDE 2.

.view {
background-color: #000000;
color: @theme_text_color;
}
Obviously LMDE is immune all kind of attempts to change Nemo's background color ... or I just cannot change the color.Penn wrote:LMDE2. I don't remember which Cinnamon/Nemo version this started in and it will probably change a few other minor things to black but of course you can choose a different color. I use #202020 but I like a dark theme.Code: Select all
.view { background-color: #000000; color: @theme_text_color; }
You didn't say which theme you wanted to alter so I just posted the line that I found works, which should already exist if you are using Mint-X.administrollaattori wrote:Obviously LMDE is immune all kind of attempts to change Nemo's background color ... or I just cannot change the color.Penn wrote:LMDE2.

/usr/share/themes
folder, but Nemo's backgroud color seems to bolted to fcfcfc
color. Everything else applications accept chancing the color, but not Nemo. Anyway it is not so big problem. Maybe it is a new feature, because I installed Cinnamon desktop a few days ago.
