[GNC] Change text color

[Adrien Monteleone]

The inspector is for *nix and is part of GTK. I looked around to see if it will run on windows (since GTK itself can run on windows) but have come up dry so far. My own dabbling with the inspector is on the backburner, but I’ll post my findings here and on the wiki when I get to it.

As for the color, you need a color name, a reference to a system color, or a color code. (which may be hex or rgb, rgba) Color names are either the HTML ‘websafe’ color names, or pre-defined gtk-color names.

See this page here and scroll down to the color section for exact specifications: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/chap-css-overview.html

So if you wanted text in steel blue, you could use either:

gtk-font-color=SteelBlue

or

gtk-font-color=#4682b4

assuming ‘gtk-font-color’ is the correct property.

Regards,
Adrien
