GDM user box color

Hi,

I just installed arch+gnome. Everything is up-to-date. On the GDM login screen, the user box has a blue background color. When clicking the Accessibility button on the upper right corner of the screen, the blue color of the user box disappears and the box becomes transparent. I'd like to remove the blue color and make the box always transparent. Google says this is to modify the file /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-classic.css. I've changed the color #3584e4 to transparent in the relevant part as following:

.login-dialog-user-list {
  spacing: 12px;
  width: 23em; }
  .login-dialog-user-list:expanded .login-dialog-user-list-item:selected {
    background-color: transparent;
    color: #fff; }
  .login-dialog-user-list:expanded .login-dialog-user-list-item:logged-in {
    border-right: 2px solid transparent; }

After reboot, the box is still blue. I also tried #000000 and there was no impact either. So am I dealing with the right section of the file?

Thanks a lot.

Re: GDM user box color

I know this an old post..., but I'm trying to do the same thing: change those blue gdm colors used when a user isn't logged in yet. I installed Gradience earlier this week and it is great at changing colors in Gnome's default theme, when logged in. Now I'd like gdm to match the style I chose.

Did you have any luck figuring this out, @learnarch?
