Styling of included widgets

[rwx7]

Using sfwbar with labwc. I'm not understanding how to style included widgets. When I use GTK inspector, I don't see classnames targetable with CSS. Most are named "module" or blank. Why don't have names according to the widget?

How do you override the style name, after it's been included? I want to change the icon colors and text for network, notifications ... to black for wallpapers.

This is good point and one I've been thinking about for a while now. The dilemma here is having a set of css properties applying to all module buttons vs modifying certain properties for a specific button. From CSS perspective, the cleanest way to achieve them would be to add a class to all module buttons, but give them different names. The common properties can then be controlled via a class and specific can be controlled by name. I kept putting off impending CSS class assignment in the sfwbar config, because I'm yet to come up with an elegant way to allow adding and removing individual classes for a widget. That said, I figured we need to start somewhere, so I added a 'class' property which allows assigning one class for now (assigning a class removes any other class assigned via this property previously). I also updated default configuration in git to assign class 'module' to all module widgets and give them individual names. Does this address your use case?

That gives enough specificity for the few I tried. Thank you!
