Use a light panel with Elementary (or other GTK+ themes that use dark panels)?

  • 772

When using Elementary (at least, using the Controls), it makes the panel dark, and I'd like to use a light panel. How can I change this?

Thanks for any help!

gnome-panel

    1. Hit Alt+F2 and use this command: 

      gksudo gedit /usr/share/themes/elementary/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

      enter image description here

    2. Scroll to the bottom of the file and find the line include "Apps/panel-dark.rc

      enter image description here

    3. Replace panel-dark.rc with panel.rc

      enter image description here

    4. Save the file, and then switch to a different theme and then switch back to Elementary.
