How do I change colors in Zim (wiki editor) running on Kubuntu 18.10?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

These are the colors present in Zim which uses GTK



Zim colors



How can I change them to more of my liking? The color for links is very hard to read on the dark Breeze theme.



Kubuntu 18.10 (Kernel: 4.18.0-17-generic) & Zim (0.68) installed via terminal

I'm still on Kubuntu 18.04 but it appears that the version of Zim is the same in 18.10.





  • Zim seems to be a gtk2 application

  • Kubuntu allows users to choose different gtk2 and gtk3 (and qt) themes.

  • Open System Settings > Application Style > GNOME Application Style and make your selections there. However, certain aspects of *Zim's appearance are **not* governed by the gtk2 theme.

  • Reading Zim's Help > FAQ mentions that a user can



… change the colors used for links, underline etc. ?



Copy "/usr/share/zim/style.conf" to "~/.config/zim/" and edit as you
see fit. See the Config Files page for the syntax of this file.




That allows me to modify several aspects of Zim's appearance, including links.
