A shamefully stupid question: how do i change the text background (and foreground) colors of gtk apps? I found the .gtkrc file but had no clue how to change the colors (if it does that) because of the odd way of defining different colors (0.897 / 0.763 etc.. )
I've installed a few themes to see if they changed it from the default white to something more dark but that didnt work either. Actually, some themes didnt work at all, the only ones that do are pixmapped ones. The 'color themes' dont change a thing. in Gnome Control Center the only option there is for changing the appearance of gtk apps is the Themes section. I'm using unstable, with blackbox as my WM and (as far as i'm aware) just about all the core packages from GNOME installed. William
