paths renamed colour poor

Perfectly possible to change the theme to make it more readable:
   

The definition in the Theme gtkrc file is here:

Code:

style "gimp-default-style" = "gimp-colours-default-style"
{
#  font_name = "Sans 11"

  fg[NORMAL] = @clr1
  fg[PRELIGHT] = @clr2
  fg[ACTIVE] = @clr2
  fg[SELECTED] = @clr1
  fg[INSENSITIVE] = @clr3

  bg[NORMAL] = @clr9
  bg[PRELIGHT] = @clr7
  bg[ACTIVE] = @clr4
  bg[SELECTED] = @clr5
  bg[INSENSITIVE] = @clr5

  base[NORMAL] = @clrA
  base[PRELIGHT] = @clr7
  base[ACTIVE] = @clr7
  base[SELECTED] = @clr1
  base[INSENSITIVE] = @clr8

  text[NORMAL] = @clr1
  text[PRELIGHT] = @clr1
  text[ACTIVE] = @clr1
  text[SELECTED] = @clr7
  text[INSENSITIVE] = @clr9

If you change the definition for text[SELECTED], you will get the new colour for ALL selected text

To illustrate, I set it to text[SELECTED] = "yellow" for the example above.

You will probably have to copy and re-name the supplied theme to your personal theme directory before editing.
