Thanks Leon .I managed to use gtk inspector. From what i see it seems
the element with id #folderview (the left pane with the folder tree) somehow
it doesnt seem filled with css boxes one for each entry.
Interestingly the preferences/display/color/other  has an option to
change the text color of the folders with new messages. So you can
control the background of all the #folderview but the list items with
folders with new messages get the background color of the top most
claws box (i think) . So to change that you must change the top most
background color.

Also that gtk.css solution affects my emacs and propably other gtk3
programs.Can gtk.css target only claws ?

Alexandros.
