Catergory Buttons Styling Does Not Work about nwg-drawer

[nwg-piotr]

Closed unintentionally. What I fixed should have nothing to do with your issue.

I do believe that somehow you're still using improper css file. Otherwise the warnings:

Not using units is deprecated. Assuming 'px'.

should not appear. They have been fixed in my version of your drawer.css.

You missed #. Should be:

#category-button {
    background-color: transparent;
    padding: 1px;
}

No change.

Works well for me. With button defined as above, for transparent buttons you also need box-shadow: none in #category-button. BTW: you should use px in lines 7 and 14.

window {
    background-color: rgba (36, 47, 79, 0.95);
    color: #eeeeee
}

entry {
   box-shadow: 0 0 6px 5px #2e3440;
   background-color: #3b4252;
   border: none;
   border-radius:10px;
}

button {
    box-shadow: 0 0 6px 5px #2e3440;
    background-color: #3b4252;
    border: none;
    border-radius:5px;
    margin: 4px;
}

#category-button {
    background-color: transparent;
    box-shadow: none;
    padding: 1px;
}

button:hover {
    background-color: rgba(129,161,193,0.7);
}

button:focus {
    background-color: #5e81ac;
}

#pinned-box {
    padding-bottom: 10px;
    border-bottom: 1px dotted gray
}

#files-box {
    padding: 10px;
    border: 1px dotted gray;
}

Using the exact the drawer.css you gave me it still does work. This is installed from the Chaotic-AUR - up to date with the repo. I previously updated from the version below.

This is what shows after launching it in terminal.

These warnings:

(nwg-drawer:3564): Gtk-WARNING **: 18:54:50.154: Theme parsing error: drawer.css:7:20: Not using units is deprecated. Assuming 'px'.

come from your version of the css file, and should be absent when using my fixed version.

The next line, starting from (nwg-drawer:3564): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 18:54:50.185: does not show up for me. It's odd. The only warning you should see is the one coming from gtk-layer shell. That's what it looks like here:

It looks as if you're using an old, bugged version. What's the output of nwg-drawer -v?

[edit] I've just found the reason of the Gtk-CRITICAL warning: it shows up when no pinned cache was found. I'll fix it.

[OdiousImp2604]

Sorry for the wait. No idea why those error still show. I'm using your exact drawer.css.

I'm assuming the problem is with me rather than something with nwg-drawer. Any ideas on any debug I could attempt etc...

Try another GTK theme to learn if it changes something.
