Inbox Panel

[Alexpuk2002]

I am wanting to change the colour of the box and the text that shows the news item in the inbox on the left hand side. Mine is currently a green box with darker writing which I find hard to read. What controls the colour of this? Below is the screenshot of my inbox panel.

Settings.xml, it'll be

<colour name="inbox_selected" value="xyz"/>

So it has been a while since I edited the light skin I am using and I have managed to change the colour of the box using the method above that @bluestillidie00 mentioned.

However what I would like to do is what the dark skin does. The text in the inbox side panel is a dark colour when not selected but when it is selected it turns white. I have tried changing the Inbox_body font to add the fill colour option but that doesn't seem to work.

Anyone have any ideas how I can do that with the light skin?

I'm no expert so could well be wrong, but might be worth playing with some of the below settings from settings.xml:

 

<!-- inbox colours -->
    <colour name="unread headline"                             value="fg"/>
    <colour name="read headline"                             value="fg alpha"/>
    <colour name="selected headline"                         value="fg"/>
    <colour name="must respond headline"                     value="fg"/>

    <colour name="selected category"                         value="fg"/>
    <colour name="inbox_sidebar_background"                 value="bg"/>

That did the trick, the "selected headline" was what I was after. Thank you very much
