Hi All - Mint 18.2. I've been able to customize the cinnamon.css file to get the exact look I like except for the menu that pops up when I right click on the desktop. How do I change its background color?
Thanks

The right-click menu on the Desktop is controlled by Nemo - which is gtk3
In the gtk-3.0 folder in your theme, open gtk-widgets.css
Go to:
.menu .menuitem
and add:
background-color: #whatevercoloryouwant;
So that it looks like this:

Hey austin,texas - Again ... problem solved.
Yesterday I stole/cannibalized from your themes successfully. I've got wooden backgrounds & borders as well as grafting the windows control buttons from Dans Rainy Day Blues onto Dans Autumn Woods. As soon as my real jobs are finished I'll get back to reading your Theme Editing Guide. But for now I'm very content with my hybrid theme.

Could someone help me?
Overall i love the look of Mint-y Darker. Perfection would be for me to got this mixed with the Whisker Mint-y Dark menu (almost done already) and contextual menus in black too.
I found there's two folders for each, but i don't know what i should copy from Mint-y Dark into Mint-y Darker
