Messaging app colors

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"toreturn theme.name === "Ubuntu.Components.Themes.SuruDark" ? "lightGreen" : "orange"but no success (even with device powered off then on), bubble still are green
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
lightGreenis still being used? -
@kugiigi
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
@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 ^^

@keneda
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. -

Yes i got it, ^^
And i can confirm that any color under #XXXXXX format works. -
@keneda
Great, now you're beginning to test things out and figuring out if it works.So basically you became a coder
-
@applee

At least i searched and learnt some usefull command lines -
