Problems with YAD --progress function.

[Les Strater]

I'm using the YAD --progress window and it's working really well.  The problem is that the 'percent number' (or any text I print to the window) is so small and light gray you can hardly read it.  I've tried every Googled option to change the font (span/markup/Pango/ANSI) and nothing works.  It works on a regular YAD window, but not on the '--progress' window.  Anyone know a way to change the font size/color?

I'm using Debian-13, which sticks me with YAD version-7.

Thank you!

this is not yad issue. this is a problem with your current gtk theme.

try to add "progressbar text {color: #000; font-size: 20px;}" to your theme css

in modern yad versions there is a --css argument which allows you to pass additional css code directly to yad.
but i'm not sure if it exists and works for your version

The --info --on-top features seem to be removed in the latest version. Some other options may also have been removed or changed from the older versions as I haven't fully tested them all.

I've had success using

--css="#yad-progress-widget{font-size:16pt; font-weight:bold;
color:navy; }" \

but that's with yad version 14

Thank you Victor,

The 'progressbar text' line worked perfectly when I added it to the gtk 3.0 theme css.  

I checked and '--css' wasn't added until Yad ver-8 so I'm SOL with that option on ver-7.

I did try going the older ' --gtkrc=style.rc' route but couldn't get that to work.  I'm sure my incorrect syntax was the problem.
