Requesting Theme Help
Hello, I'm trying to create a theme that matches the rest of my system, and I'm close to done, but there's one thing bothering me: the background of the "info" field for the track that is currently playing.

As you can see, it is blue, which I do not want. This color seems to correspond with the "urxvt*color10: #5B75AF" line in my .Xdefaults governing the colors of my terminals, but I am trying to keep this color to use as one of my $PS1 colors. I like that the currently playing track's text is in that color, and I would like to keep it that way.
I've tried changing the 'info' and 'marked file' fields in my theme file. Nothing changes this. Ideally, I'd like it to be transparent like the window background. My theme file is posted below. Any hints? Thanks.
background = default default frame = black default window_title = white default directory = white default bold selected_directory = white black bold playlist = white default bold selected_playlist = white black bold file = white default selected_file = white black marked_file = blue default marked_selected_file = blue black info = black default bold status = black default title = black default bold state = white default bold current_time = white default bold time_left = white default bold total_time = white default bold time_total_frames = black default sound_parameters = black default bold legend = black default bold disabled = black default enabled = black default bold empty_mixer_bar = black default filled_mixer_bar = black black bold empty_time_bar = white default filled_time_bar = black black bold entry = white default entry_title = black default error = red default bold message = black default bold plist_time = black default bold
I have no solutions for you,
I have no solutions for you, I've never played with terminal colors much. Only two hints, hopefully useful:
- The theme field for this element is "info", "marked file" is not what you are looking for.
- On my Konsole terminal "black default bold" works as expected.
- Another option worth playing with would be "colordef COLOR = RED GREEEN BLUE" (see example theme), maybe you could make it somehow better.

Thanks for the rapid
Thanks for the rapid response. With COLORDEF I was able to change the assigned "blue" color value, but was unable to make the color transparent. I set it to black and called it a day.I find it to be an acceptable means to show the currently playing file, so I'm not upset and will keep it. Great program you have here!
