Ubuntu – Where I can find a list of all css classes that composes the terminal

gnome-terminalthemes

I've just found on Google a way to write my own css to put some styles on the terminal. At the beginning I was looking to add something to know which tab was active.

Now I'm curious about know more about what I can change on the terminal using css but I didn't find a lot of information and neither a lot of classes or elements that are available.

Does anyone know where I can find more information about it? I'm only interested in the styles of the terminal.

By the way, I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 with

Looks like there's a full post on customizing various classes. Unfortunately, aside from looking at the source code and going through it, it doesn't look like very many people have created a list for the specific classes that can be used in the CSS file.

With a bit of looking around, at least for the issue that you mentioned, this is what I found. Seems to get done what you're wanting.

Instructions provided in link:

Create (or edit) ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css. 

Add these lines:

@define-color ubuntu_orange #fb9267;

TerminalWindow .notebook tab:active {
 background-color: shade(@ubuntu_orange,1.1);
}

Might I suggest that you do a lot of testing in a Virtual Machine before doing this. Would hate to have a broken terminal!
