[solved] Can anyone use gtk inspector and tell me the class name of the sidebar of gtk4 apps like nautilus

Basically I am using this gtk.css file in ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css but it's weird that the sidebar is not themed correctly. If anyone knows about this, please do tell. My only lead at this moment is to find the class and add it in gtk.css file. For some reason I can't install the gtk inspector app, So if anyone has it already or knows the classname, please help.

gtk.css file ->

@define-color accent_color #fe8019;
@define-color accent_bg_color #d65d0e;
@define-color accent_fg_color #ebdbb2;

@define-color destructive_color #8ec07c;
@define-color destructive_bg_color #689d6a;
@define-color destructive_fg_color #ebdbb2;

@define-color success_color #b8bb26;
@define-color success_bg_color #98971a;
@define-color success_fg_color #ebdbb2;

@define-color warning_color #fabd2f;
@define-color warning_bg_color #d79921;
@define-color warning_fg_color #ebdbb2;

@define-color error_color #fb4934;
@define-color error_bg_color #cc241d;
@define-color error_fg_color #ebdbb2;

@define-color window_bg_color #282828;
@define-color window_fg_color #ebdbb2;

@define-color view_bg_color #282828;
@define-color view_fg_color #ebdbb2;

@define-color headerbar_border_color #ebdbb2;
@define-color headerbar_backdrop_color @window_bg_color;
@define-color headerbar_shade_color rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.36);

@define-color card_bg_color rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.08);
@define-color card_fg_color #ebdbb2;
@define-color card_shade_color rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.36);

@define-color dialog_bg_color #3c3836;
@define-color dialog_fg_color #ebdbb2;

@define-color popover_bg_color #3c3836;
@define-color popover_fg_color #ebdbb2;

@define-color shade_color rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.36);
@define-color scrollbar_outline_color rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);

  • I got the same issue, I was using Gradience to set gtk3/4 themes and that panel never got themed. Apps like Overskride have this issue too. I already had my preferred apps themed correctly so I did not bother.

      • Oh, I had this issue but I never solved it, I just had other apps that did not have this particular sidebar type. you should probably try to solve the GTK inspecrtor issue mentioned in one of the comments.
