I have book worm here which I have built my own little bootable Live ISO flash drive.
I have the desktop theme basically looking like I want it, except for the panel and menu color. Screenshots of the theme suggest it should be black, but I am seeing a a dark gray which looks like the default Debian theme color for Cinnamon. There is also a "dark" version of the theme which I can see changes in the app window colors change, but the menu and panel remain the same color.
Looking in the cinnamon.css for the current used theme I saw:
and
From following the guide I found, "How to change the colors of a Cinnamon Theme..." I went to those sections and changed the to I rebuild the ISO, boot it, and no change.
I managed to find another custom distro based on Ubuntu which is basically using the same theme I am using (they changed the name of it), and I ran diff on both of the cinnamon.css files, and they are identical, but yet that distro has their menu and panel both black.
With that, I tried some searches on that distro with grep for strings like "rgba(0, 0, 0" and "#000000" hoping to find some sort of override file which was forcing the colors to change. I could not find anything.
I also tried
Using various "dconf" commands did not reveal anything either.
Also looked in /usr/share/cinnamon/applets/ and none of the .json files seem to have anything to do with setting the color of the panel or menu also.
At this point, I have no idea what they did to change the menu and panel, and why mine keeps failing.
Anyone got some ideas on this?
