IT Change the chat window color in Pidgin

Posted on 27/11/2015 by

To display the chat window with white text on black background, add a file ~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0 with the following content :

# Create a style called "inverted" where the text and base 
 # (the base color behind the widget) are the reverse of typical.
 style "inverted"
 {
    text[NORMAL] = "#FFFFFF"
    base[NORMAL] = "#000000"
 }

 # Apply "inverted" to conversation entry box--where you type.
 widget "*pidgin_conv_entry" style "inverted"

 # Apply "inverted" to conversation history pane--where you read the conversation.
 widget "*pidgin_conv_imhtml" style "inverted"

Restart Pidgin and enjoy !
