How can I change the color of the Pantheon files sidebar from dark to light? I can't seem to find the CSS that controls this aspect of it. If anyone knows where to find it please let me know.

In the source code file src/View/Sidebar.vala (cf. apt-get source pantheon-files) it seems that the sidebar and source-list classes are applied to the sidebar.

In /usr/share/themes/elementary/gtk-3.0/ you have "source-list" classes defined in the files granite-widgets.css, gtk-widgets.css and gtk-widgets-dark.css. You should customize one or more of these.

  • I should have clarify that I was using Arc Theme. I did however find the place within the Arc theme to fix the issues.

In file gtk.css, change this:

MarlinViewWindow .source-list.sidebar.view { background-color: white; }
