Changing some colors of a desktop theme
Hello, I'd like to change some grays of the XFCE-dusk theme to make them black or darker (I downloaded a couple of "black" themes from the Internet but the icons get darker too and become unreadable). How can I do?

Re: Changing some colors of a desktop theme
so you want icons to be paler to be visible with the other theming?
you can choose mint-x-dark, or install faenza or other icon themes, checking if they have a dark variant. noobslab provide icon theme ppa's:

Re: Changing some colors of a desktop theme
My mistake. I already have Faenza icons installed. I'm talking about the icons inside Libreoffice Writer, in the formatting bar, for example, or those for cut/copy/paste. They become unreadable. I'm not sure if changing the Dusk theme background color would be different, though... maybe even this way I'd get black icons on black background.

Re: Changing some colors of a desktop theme
have you tried all the Faenza dark variations? one of them should be OK for that.
if this is more about the writing being unreadable, then you either need to learn how to do themes or find an alternative.

One of the variation changes to white some icons in the system bottom right panel. Icons inside LibreOffice don't change.BlackVeils wrote:have you tried all the Faenza dark variations? one of them should be OK for that.
Thank you anyway.
