      So now i tried to edit this file with seabass 2 and it tells me that i can't overwrite it, even if i made system r/w (with terminal or UTTT).

      Any idea? :grinning_face_with_sweat:

      You made me think about Enter The Void 😁

          Yeah, it seems that Seabass can't modify files outside the home directory even if it's unconfined. Probably an apparmor limitation. I would suggest backing up the original file then copy it to your home directory and modify that file. And then copy that back to the original path. That's how I usually do it. Or if you want, install an app like Geany in your root and use x-forwarding 😄

            I tested this (files system still r/w), and if i can copy file outside directory (to document folder), and then edit it, i can't copy back to the original path, same error, no right to do this.

              Ok i managed to copy file to it's original directory, i had to "sudo su" in terminal, and then use "cp" command, all this with r/w files system on.

              So i tried to test edit line 100 from return theme.name === "Ubuntu.Components.Themes.SuruDark" ? "lightGreen" : "green" to return theme.name === "Ubuntu.Components.Themes.SuruDark" ? "lightGreen" : "orange" but no success (even with device powered off then on), bubble still are green :grinning_face_with_sweat:

              Obviously i reverted back the file.

                @keneda Worked fine with me when I modified it directly. You just need to restart the messaging app to make it take effect. Perhaps you were not able to copy the file successfully.

                  @kugiigi Yes i restarted app as i restarted device itself, and i checked that the file was successfully copied (the modded one) before restarting, by opening it with seabass after doing the CP command, from the messaging-app folder.

                  What color did you mod, and what color did you use to mod it?

                    @keneda I changed it to blue and orange. Maybe you are on dark mode so lightGreen is still being used?

                      Ohhh my god, i though i was modding for dark theme...
                      I tested with clear theme just now and yes, it works!

                      So, what do i need to mod for dark theme, the "lightcolors" ones?

                      By the way, messaging app often crashs when i change theming, i noticed this before trying this thread mod.
                      I have to try lot of time before being able to change theme in the app, then, when succesfull one time, i can change it without crash, untill i close app then it start again to crash.

                        Answer to myslef, yes it is :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:

                        @kugiigi now i have one question, were i can find all colors supported? And, is RGB/HEX color supported? (for example can a take one color or its RGB or hex value from this site, first from qwant results : https://rgbcolorcode.com/ )

                          @keneda That is a known issue which is weird since other apps changes the theme without issues.

                          You can put colors in different formats. Just for color support in QML.
                          You can also pick a color from UITK.

                            OK i was going to open an issue when i find messaging app GIT, but i assume it already exist now ^^

                            Great thanks to you, @lduboeuf and @jezek for your help 🙂

                            EDIT : link from start of text on the page you gave me ("palette" https://ubuntu.com/developer/api/apps/qml/sdk-15.04.1/Ubuntu.Components.Themes.Palette ) is broken link by the way ^^

                              This is from Canonical. I don't think they'll make an update here before shutting it down completely...
                              But the first page should give you all that you need.

                                  Great, now you're beginning to test things out and figuring out if it works.

                                  So basically you became a coder 😉
