To try and see what is supposed to be different, I tried changing the color with
Code:
$ export SIGIL_FOCUS_HIGHLIGHT_COLOR="#FF4D00"
If I understand right that should turn the highlight orange, but I can't get it to work. Er...that is an environment variable? |
That should have worked. My guess is you have either not turned on the Sigil focus highlighting in Sigil Preferences Appearances MainUI or not restarted after it.
The reason it is hard to tell is that on Linux most of the focus highlighting is done natively by your desktop. Sigil will not try to overwrite it with your own. You control that in your Desktop Settings. All Sigil can control is the color of the highlights it adds. These include around the border of each of the major QDockWidgets. Those are the only highlight colors that Sigil can control.
So on Linux to completely change all focus highlighting, you would need to change both the Sigil highlight color with an environment variable and then make sure you have used your own Desktop settings to set the proper color for its built-in highlighting.
By default, Sigil will look at your native highlight color and choose the match it unless you use the environment variable. So on Linux, the changing the system desktop highlighting color should be enough to change all (no need for the environment variable). On platforms like MacOS that has very little native highlighting, the environment variable is a useful way of fine tuning the color.
