KDE 4.3.3: How to change the colour of selected menu items?

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hello. I am running Fedora 11 and KDE 4.3.3. I dislike the colour that is used to highlight the currently selected item in the drop-down menus of KDE 4 applications (such as Kate, Konsole, Amarok and the Kile beta). I want to set it to a colour that makes the selected item stand out more. But I cannot figure out which colour setting I need to adjust. I am looking in System Settings -> Look & Feel -> Appearance -> Colors -> Colors, but the list of colour settings is not very user friendly. I cannot figure out what the various lines mean. I see nothing that says "Selected menu item background" or anything of the sort. (I have tried changing "Selection Background" under "Common Colors". That one affects selected text, but not drop-down menus.) Can anyone help me find the color setting I need to adjust? Thanks in advance. (HowTos)

I am using GridView with different background colors applied to each GridView cell. I have noticed that some selected colors automatically change the background to a different color, providing a useful feedback to the user that this particular grid cell was clicked, e.g.:

0x5FFF0000 0x8F000FFF 0x30FF0000 0x300000FF

while other colors remain "static" and do not alter the background colour on cl

i HAVE A LISTVIEW, IN WHICH I PUT ALTERNATE COLORS (TRANSPARENT AND GREY) AS THEIR BACKGROUND. BUT WHEN I AM TRYING TO CHANGE COLOR OF LIST ITEM SELECTED, IT CHANGES ONLY FOR ITEM WHICH IS HAVING TRANSPARENT AS ITS BACKGROUND COLOR IN THE LIST. ITEM WHICH IS HAVING GREY AS BACKGROUND, WHEN SELECTED DOES NOT CHANGE ITS COLOR WHEN I USE ANDROID:LISTSELECTOR="@COLOR/GREEN" IN XML FILE.

PLEASE HELP!

Don't know a way of doing a batch change (roll-on macros!), but one way for individual images...1) Select by colour (Shift-click to add similar pixels). May be easier to select the bg and invert selection2)Colours/Hue-Saturation, drag the Hue slider in the Adjust Selected Colour area, to the colour you want.

I have a listFragment and I want to highlight the selected item in the list. I have a layout with two fragments. The left hand fragment is a ListFragment using a SimpleCursorAdaptor, the right hand one is populated with details about the item selected from the list in the left fragment.

No web developer can go a day without encountering any method of representing colour on the web. There are many ways of representing colour, some have advantages and disadvantages over others, but of course, the vastly popular and most well-known option is hex colour codes.

I have a listView with a custom adapter. I've made the listView item's background change color when selected. This works perfectly on Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 on Samsung Galaxy S2 and on ICS 4.0.3 on emulator. But it does not work on 4.2.2 JellyBean emulator.

I have taken a look at Gtk Theme change menu bar hover color but it doesn't seem to work on 12.04, nor can I find those lines in 12.04.

My menus look like the below when hovered over for some applications such as Eclipse, Pidgin, LibreOffice etc.

Where as it looks much better on Nautilus and a few others.

How to change the text colour on hover to white?

Hi all! I've done a fresh install of Fedora 18 (LXDE). All gone for the best...

I'm using a ListView to display a list of items. I tap on one item to 'select' it, and that item briefly turns orange in the list, but then returns to the background color.

How can I cause the item to stay 'lit' until I unselect it (by tapping the item again)?

Also, can I call a method that will clear all selected items for that list?
