How to make running program indicators thicker and easier to see? #415
-
|
Hello. I want to make the running program indicators thicker and easier to see. By the running program indicator, I don't mean the panel. I mean those very thin horizontal lines which are displayed under each running program, see screenshot. The programs that I have running are Firefox, Master PDF, Tauon Music Player and Ksnip. I want to make those blue indicators thicker, because although they are easy to see on the screenshot, I can't see them that well on my physical monitor (my eyesight isn't optimal). I know you can probably edit the theme's CSS file, but I don't know which bit of code to edit. The Desktop theme I'm using is Mint-Y-Dark-Aqua. Can someone tell me which line of CSS to edit? I asked about this in the Mint forum and one member tried to help me, but they couldn't find the line either. They said I should ask here on Github. They were able to tell me that the colour code is #1f9ede. See discussion here.

You'll have to change the file
You may also want to change the After changing the values restart Cinnamon it the result should be applied to the window group items (in the screenshot you can see the result after changing the value to 5px). |

Keep in mind that this may not be a permanent change, this change may be reset if the mint-y theme is updated by the system. |

Yeah, I had a hunch that the changes could be reverted by OS version updates at the latest. I'll re-apply the changes as needed. Thanks again. |
