How to change background in Thunar

Recommended Posts

Greetings all,

Hope everyone's weekend is starting off enjoyable. As the title says, I am trying to figure out how if possible to change my thunar background from white to another color. OBVIOUSLY this is not important but I would like a darker background.

 

I have read the Thunar Arch Wiki and a few other Google searches. One thread in the Arch forum about this had one answer.

It uses your gtk2 theme I'm pretty sure.

 

Anyone else tried to do this. I saw in one of your desktop screenshots Josh that you have a black background for your file manager. I am pretty sure that was not thunar though.

 

Thanks for the guidance,

 

Ian

Just change your gtk theme to a darker one and all gtk apps will be that color. To do this, run lxappearance and choose the theme. You may have to install some themes to get a darker one.

There are a ton of gtk themes available in the AUR or you can download some good ones here http://www.linuxnov....themes-gtk-2-x/
