I want to change main color of gnome-shell 3.12 that use in any where that doesn't specify background-color in gnome-shell.css stylesheet. I want to change all menu background-color.

I try these:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'none'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background primary-color '#3C78B4'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background secondary-color '#1E3C5A'

with sudo and without it and search lot of in google but no result!


Solution

  • Use the tool elegance-colors. You can install it with:
    sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-theme-elegance-colors

    Then open the GUI tool Elegance Colors from your applications list or type elegance-colors-prefs in the terminal to open it. In the left sidebar you'll find everything you need to customize your theme or load themes from presets.
