It's a little difficult to find a good title for this... =/

Using dconf, I was able to edit the "gtk-color-scheme" in org -> gnome -> desktop -> interface. Using this, I was able to edit the parameters for the theme in a way that suited me. Here they are, for reference:

bg_color:#3E3D39;selected_bg_color:#3546e9;base_color:#2F2828;text_color:#ffffff;fg_color:#ffffff;selected_fg_color:#ffffff;link_color:#0082FF;

I copied over my Radiance theme from /usr/share/themes and copied it to my ~/.themes directory, and edited the "gtkrc" file. However, the colors did not change properly. How exactly can I edit my "gtkrc" file properly?
