Is there a way to change the colour of the folders so that they show up easier?​

With the folder names I find it hard to see the difference between folders and scripts. Is there a way to change the colour of the folders so that they show up easier?

Developer

You can do a child theme - modifying folder names would be like

.treeview .dir > .header {
color: red;
}

I'm a bit confused how to install this code that you sent me. I looked at the guide and I couldnt find how to install a child theme.

I went into the /themes/ and installed a theme and I see these folders.



Having a similar struggle. I've made a temporary solution by replacing the sprites of my folders, but it has to be done manually for each folder for both the open and closed states, which is a *huge* pain in the ass. Would be really cool to have a simple "Change default folder image" option.  I saw YellowAfterLife's reply, but I don't seem to be smart enough to figure out how the theme customization is supposed to work?


 

Developer
  1. You make a new folder in themes directory
  2. You make a file called "config.json" with something like
    { "parentTheme": "dark", "stylesheets": ["style.css"] }
    (replace "dark" with name of the theme you are using, if needed)
  3. You make a file called "style.css" and paste CSS from my original replace in there
  4. Upon restarting GMEdit your theme will show up on the list in Preferences.
