[Solved] XFCE Highlight Color

Hello! I would like to know if there is any way to change the highlight color, pointed out in the image below. It seems most, if not all, themes I find all use blue. Is it an XFCE property, or a GTK property? Any way I can change this would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Sorry about the thumbnail issue, I should have known better. :(

EDIT 2: I was able to go into my theme's folder and found an image that represented that selection highlight. I find it odd that something like this would use an image instead or a config file for color. Do all GTK themes do it this way?

Yes, that is odd. What theme is it?

The easy way to change this colour, is to install gtk-theme-config (screenie) from the AUR for a graphical tool to change some basic GTK properties. The harder way is to manually edit your theme's gtk-2.0/gtkrc and gtk-3.0/gtk.css files.

Re: [Solved] XFCE Highlight Color

I am using one of the Vertex variants (found on the AUR). I guess I will have to do a little more investigating other themes. Thank you for the reply!

EDIT: Apparently I chose an oddball theme, as other themes are properly responding to the GTK color chooser. Case Closed I guess.
