[Question] Can You Please Match gtk2 more like gtk3 colors?

[0pLuS0]

Hi,

I'm using i3 in Slack, and I apply the themes using lxappearance, and I use qt5ct to apply gtk2 theming to my qt apps to match.

I noticed using the Yaru-Brown-dark theme, that the gtk2 colors don't match the same hues/coloring as the gtk3 colors.

Here is a screen shot with Thunar using gtk3 on the left, and Kid3 using qt5 on the right. Kid3 is themed from qt5ct using gtk2.

Notice how much darker Thunar looks? I'd really love it if the gtk2 colors would look the same, it looks like I'm using a slightly different theme. I love the darker look to the gtk3.

I was able to get it closer, but, I'm sure the numbers I've picked aren't 100%.

If you could at least give me the exact numbers I can then change it, and that would be great.

Here's what I changed so far;

Text/base

gtk-color-scheme = "text_color:#F7F7F7\nbase_color:#2a2a2a"

Foreground/background

gtk-color-scheme = "fg_color:#F7F7F7\nbg_color:#262626"
# Selected foreground/background
gtk-color-scheme = "selected_fg_color:#FFFFFF\nselected_bg_color:#995640"

Insensitive foreground/background

gtk-color-scheme = "insensitive_fg_color:#969696\ninsensitive_bg_color:#2e2e2e"

Menus

gtk-color-scheme = "menu_color:#282828\nmenubar_bg:#2d2d2d"
gtk-color-scheme = "menubar_fg:#F7F7F7\nmenubar_insensitive_fg:#CCCCCC"

Links

gtk-color-scheme = "link_color:#2194bd\nvisited_link_color:#c97c5b"

Treeview headers

gtk-color-scheme = "column_header_color:#353535\nhover_column_header_color:#636769"

Window decoration

gtk-color-scheme = "menu_hover_color:#616161\nwindow_color:#f4f4f4"

Tooltips

gtk-color-scheme = "tooltip_fg_color:#f7f7f7\ntooltip_bg_color:#353535"

Set GTK settings

gtk-auto-mnemonics = 1
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider = 1
gtk-icon-sizes="gtk-menu=16,16:
gtk-button=16,16:
gtk-small-toolbar=16,16:
gtk-dnd=16,16:
gtk-dialog=16,16"
gtk-toolbar-style = GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS
gtk-menu-images = 0
gtk-menu-popup-delay = 0

And hand over the control to the theme files

include "main.rc"
include "apps.rc"
include "hacks.rc"

Keep up the great work!

THANKS

Since I already opened two issues, I didn't want to upset you by opening a third so soon.

I use i3 and when I have Thunar as an example tiled next to each other, and I copy/drag something from one window to another, the one I am copying to is being highlighted in a green color. How can I disable this and get rid of this green color?

This color looks really odd using the Yaru-Brown-dark theme.

THANKS
