pcmanfm background color

[doru001]

How can I set the pcmanfm background color, in what configuration file and using what syntax? Is this information published anywhere on the web? I found an example for changing the Side Pane background color http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1566335, but it does not seem to work for me.

Try looking here:

if theyre not already installed you should have the lxappearance and obconf packages, that will allow you to change themes, window borders colours, icons etc

I believe you can use gtk themes for that purpose.

i suppose you want to change the background color of the file managers window, without actually changing the whole theme?
i have a weird yellow background for my file manager when i open it with root privileges:

that what you want?
it's a matter of gtk; you can add a few lines to your ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine

Code: Select all

style "mingstil"
{
base[NORMAL] = "#FCAF3E"
base[ACTIVE] = "#FCAF3E"
}
# widget_class "*" style "default"
class "GtkWidget" style "mingstil"
#class "FmMainWin.*.FmTabPage" style "mingstil"
#class "*Entry*" style "mingstil"

'mingstil' is a totally meaningless word i made up (a virtual beer if someone realizes what it means;-)).
some options are commented out, you can play around with that.
