I am on Ubuntu Budgie 18.10 and trying to adjust the colors of the Vimix theme.

Especially, I want to change the foreground and background (text) colors of the tooltip popups.

Editing the GTK3 css file, I found the section * Tooltips * (line 4016 onward).

Changing background works as expected: 

tooltip.background {
   box-shadow: inset 0 1px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1);
   background-color: red;
}

But changing the tooltip item, I have added the line "color: #FFFFFF, does not affect the text color. 

tooltip {
    border-radius: 2px;
    box-shadow: none;
    color: #FFFFFF;
}

Neither does adding: 

tooltip.foreground{
  color: #00C853;
}

Or: 

@define-color theme_tooltip_fg_color #FFFFFF;

Any idea of how to change text color of the tooltips?

EDITED : including header bars

the one you are looking for is tooltip label

tooltip label {
  color: green;
  min-height: 20px;
  padding: 0 2px;
}

seems to be there are more colors configured for header-bar and title-bars in different conditions in this vimix gtk.3-0 css file.

some i found are below, if you want them in single color, make all feilds same color.

Black 

window.tiled headerbar, window.tiled headerbar:first-child, window.tiled headerbar:last-child, window.tiled headerbar:only-child,
window.tiled-top headerbar,
window.tiled-top headerbar:first-child,
window.tiled-top headerbar:last-child,
window.tiled-top headerbar:only-child,
window.tiled-right headerbar,
window.tiled-right headerbar:first-child,
window.tiled-right headerbar:last-child,

  • Right in front of me .. silly me. Thanks, @PRATAP – rainer Jan 17 '19 at 15:00
  • Do you know, by the way, how to style the background color of the window headerbars? I can only find titlebar:not(headerbar) .... – rainer Jan 17 '19 at 15:06
  • In the same file from line 1.326 onward. Changing the title-bars seem to only affect buttons like in the nautilus tree-view, but not the windows' title bars ... I have added a screenshot. – rainer Jan 17 '19 at 17:41
  • actually I want to change the color of all windows, not only Nautilus. Thanks for your efforts. I work with Java for a couple of years, but I am only now learning css, my target for 2019. I find it a little confusing, since there seem to be few styling conventions.... – rainer Jan 17 '19 at 19:30
  • This is just perfect. Many thanks for your great help. – rainer Jan 18 '19 at 11:26
