[Users] How to change the background color on the folder list and message list?

Hello Steve,

For what it's worth ... i've the same problem and generally would like to customize claws.

A dark blue color should be something like #336699 (hex rgb values) with a higher value in the third color.  But i cannot find any 'blue' color hardcoded in your css example and i wonder if it is anywhere else. It might be the result of some invert/matrix operation on the existing colors - at least, as long as not explicitly defined in any css ?

For example, my email list 'active' entry bg color is #3584e4 (you can find yours by using a color picker, e.g. the one from gimp) and if i grep for that value in /usr/share/themes, where Debian installs themes, then nothing pops up.

I tried grep '#3' and that yields some entries for ThinIce theme, like

ThinIce/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:  bg[SELECTED]      = "#336699"
ThinIce/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:  base[SELECTED]    = "#336699"
ThinIce/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:  bg[PRELIGHT] = "#336699"
ThinIce/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:  bg[PRELIGHT]   = "#336699"
ThinIce/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:  base[PRELIGHT] = "#336699"

but this is not my claws bg color and apparently is gtk-2.

Actually, i don't see any specific gtk-3 theme here at all. Are the gtk-3 engines just using the existing gtk-2 themes ?

It would be nice to have a visual gtk 'debugger' similar to the one in Web Browsers where you can pick an element and say, inspect element.
