Dolphin Change Color Linux

8 I installed dolphin (18.12.2-1) as file manager (for most the things I use "ls" but sometimes a preview is helpful) in i3wm on an Archlinux and would like to be able to change the background color or the font color of it. I was wondering where dolphin gets its background color from and if it was possible to change it.

In System Settings go to Colors, select a color theme that's editable, click the edit tab, in the Colors tab, you will see Color Set: and select View, Change the Alternate Background so it matches Normal Background. I managed to change the theme of dolphin by reading Arch wiki on qt and gtk, but I am struggling to change dolphins background its always white no matter which theme I choose, how can this be achieved? Thank in advance. If you want to change the color of your folder icons without installing a new icon set, Dolphin Folder Color is a great solution.

I'm using a dark theme in Debian, but the Dolphin file manager just ignores it. I have seen some examples of a dark theme in Dolphin, but I can't find a way to do it. I've seen some ways to set a.

To enhance recognition of certain folders, I would like to change the color of individual folders. How do I need to do this in KDE and Dolphin? Thanks in advance for your help! Last edited by LockBot on Wed Dec 28, 2022 12:16 pm, edited 2 times in total.
