Can't change the color of inactive options in Menu bar.

[rich2005]

I had a dabble with my Gimp 2.9.7 and the Dark theme. I could change a few things but not 'inactive' colour, but then I am no expert.
Have you tried adding your 'bespoke colours as clr10/11/....in the global definitions beginning of the file.

Code:

style "gimp-dark-default-style"
{
#  font_name = "Sans 11"

  color["clr1"]  = "#EEEEEE"
  color["clr2"]  = "#FFFFFF"
  color["clr3"]  = "#C1C1C1"
  color["clr4"]  = "#383838"
  color["clr5"]  = "#555555"
  color["clr6"]  = "#828282"
  color["clr7"]  = "#3B3B3B"
  color["clr8"]  = "#383838"
  color["clr9"]  = "#4D4D4D"
  color["clr10"] = "#00FFFF"
  color["clr11"] = "#D4C7AA"

  fg[NORMAL] = @clr1
#### snipped a lot out #####
  base[INSENSITIVE] = @clr8

  text[NORMAL] = @clr10 # <<<<<<<<< blue
  text[PRELIGHT] = @clr11 #<<<<<<<< yellow/grey-ish
  text[ACTIVE] = @clr1
  text[SELECTED] = @clr1
  text[INSENSITIVE] = @clr9

gives this, maybe not the best colours but at least not invisible.



When it comes to the subject 'inactive colors' I would not hold out much hope at the moment.

There is this: https://www.gimp.org/news/2016/07/13/gim...-released/

With the understatement of year.

quote: Note that we still consider this feature a work in progress, as dark themes still need some fine-tuning (especially regarding the color of inactive menu items).

As an afterthought, which version of linux and DE are you using. Might help someone give better information.
