Adwaita Purple (please?!?)

Also, I’m not really that wild on electric blue. If someone wanted to do a version of Adwaita in purple that would be really awesome.

I’ll pay you back by adding cool features to Empathy or something :)

  3. gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-color-scheme 'selected_bg_color:purple'

    or edit the color in /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

    or put this text into .themes/PurpleAdwaita/gtk-3.0/gtk.css:
    @import url("/usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-3.0/gtk.css");
    @define-color selected_bg_color purple;
    and then select PurpleAdwaita as your GTK theme with:
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme PurpleAdwaita
    Note that you may want to add a .themes/PurpleAdwaita/gtk-3.0/gtk-dark.css too for dark widgets that looks similar and says:
    @import url("/usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-3.0/gtk-dark.css");
    @define-color selected_bg_color purple;

  5. In GNOME3 you’re not supposed to make any change to the “consistent” and “high quality” visual appearance. They “specifically designed the GNOME 3 control center not to include theme installation/selection”, or changing theme colors for that matter.

  7. @Benjamin: I tried that approach before posting, but it seems not enough things use that colour as the basis.
