Recently I learned that adding css styles to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
can do some tricks to the visual appearance of gtk-3.0 based applications. Yet restarting the application after each change while trying to find the best settings is quite cumbersome.
When switching themes, the application immediately changes to the new theme, but it seems to ignore changes to gtk.css
. Is there a way to have it reload that file too?
* { caret-color: #000000; }
in~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
, all I need to do is to save the file. After that, if I open a compliant application such as mousepad, the text editor in Xubuntu, the edit is effective. This is without changing the gtk3 theme. (By compliant, I mean applications that don't set their own caret color.) – DK Bose Nov 7 '18 at 11:58
