Nemo file manager: How can I change font color of folder names in toolbar button?
Solution 1
You can try the following:
1) Open your favorite editor. (eg:gedit) and create a new file named nemo.css, add these lines:
/* font path bar */
.nemo-pathbar-button,
NemoPathbarButton {
color: #4c4c4c;
}
Add your favorite color in hexadecimal notation. I choose #4c4c4c (Grey color)
2) Save the file nemo.css
in your Desktop.
3) Open a Terminal and type:
sudo cp /home/*your_user*/Desktop/nemo.css /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.0/apps/
4) Go to the /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.0/apps/
directory, and change the perms of the file.
cd /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.0/apps
sudo chmod 644 nemo.css
5) Edit the gtk.css to import the nemo.css
, and add a line:
sudo -H gedit /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
add
@import url("apps/nemo.css");
6) Kill nemo with (pkill nemo
) or just Logout and Login to see the changes.
In my case:

Some good soul created a git repo for that problem
Run the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/alsar/ubuntu-ambiance-nemo
cd ubuntu-ambiance-nemo/
./install.sh
nemo -q
Than Nemo will look as it should:

Thanks. Because of your guide about importing customized Stylesheet, I found this guide
Code goes:
.nemo-pathbar-button,
NemoPathbarButton {
background-image: -gtk-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom,
color-stop (0, shade(@dark_bg_color, 1.1)),
color-stop (.3, shade(@dark_bg_color, 1.1)),
color-stop (.7, shade(@dark_bg_color, 0.90)),
color-stop (1, shade(@dark_bg_color, 0.80)));
border-color: shade(@dark_bg_color, 0.7);
-NemoPathbarButton-border-radius: 3px;
}
NemoPathbarButton:active {
background-image: -gtk-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom,
color-stop (0, shade(@dark_bg_color, .8)),
color-stop (.3, shade(@dark_bg_color, .9)),
color-stop (1, shade(@dark_bg_color, 1.0)));
border-color: shade(@dark_bg_color, 0.7);
}
NemoPathbarButton:hover {
background-image: -gtk-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom,
color-stop (0, shade(alpha(@dark_bg_color, 1.4), 1.25)),
color-stop (.3, shade(alpha(@dark_bg_color, 1.4), 1.25)),
color-stop (.7, shade(alpha(@dark_bg_color, 1.4), 0.95)),
color-stop (1, shade(alpha(@dark_bg_color, 1.4), 0.85)));
border-color: shade(@dark_bg_color, 0.7);
}

How can I change font color of folder names in the toolbar button in Nemo file manager?
Because I strongly prefer Ambiance theme, I want to keep it, but it messes up the theme of Nemo which is my favourite file manager as shown.
How can I specifically tweak just folder name fonts color of Nemo? Is there a way without recompiling the whole app?

artfulrobot almost 10 yearsHey, thanks. Where do you get to know the names of the elements for the CSS? I need to change the colour of the free space barcharts (because free and used are the same colour!) so I need to know what CSS selectors to use to target those. Thanks.

Roman Raguet almost 10 years@artfulrobot: you can get the names of the widget, classes etc from the nemo-style-fallback.css file. github.com/linuxmint/nemo/blob/master/src/…
