How can I change font color of folder names in the toolbar button in Nemo file manager?
Because I strongly prefer Ambiance theme, I want to keep it, but it messes up the theme of Nemo which is my favourite file manager as shown.
How can I specifically tweak just folder name fonts color of Nemo? Is there a way without recompiling the whole app?
You can try the following:
1) Open your favorite editor. (eg:gedit) and create a new file named nemo.css, add these lines:
/* font path bar */
.nemo-pathbar-button,
NemoPathbarButton {
color: #4c4c4c;
}
Add your favorite color in hexadecimal notation. I choose #4c4c4c (Grey color)
2) Save the file nemo.css in your Desktop.
3) Open a Terminal and type:
sudo cp /home/*your_user*/Desktop/nemo.css /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.0/apps/4) Go to the /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.0/apps/ directory, and change the perms of the file.
cd /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.0/appssudo chmod 644 nemo.css5) Edit the gtk.css to import the nemo.css, and add a line:
sudo -H gedit /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
add
@import url("apps/nemo.css");
6) Kill nemo with (pkill nemo) or just Logout and Login to see the changes.
In my case:
