Change tooltip text color of Ubuntu Vimix theme












0















I am on Ubuntu Budgie 18.10 and trying to adjust the colors of the Vimix theme.



Especially, I want to change the foreground and background (text) colors of the tooltip popups.



Editing the GTK3 css file, I found the section * Tooltips * (line 4016 onward).



Changing background works as expected:



tooltip.background {
box-shadow: inset 0 1px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1);
background-color: red;
}


But changing the tooltip item, I have added the line "color: #FFFFFF, does not affect the text color.



tooltip {
border-radius: 2px;
box-shadow: none;
color: #FFFFFF;
}


Neither does adding:



tooltip.foreground{
color: #00C853;
}


Or:



@define-color theme_tooltip_fg_color #FFFFFF;


Any idea of how to change text color of the tooltips?



EDITED : including header bars
