This shouldn't be this hard! Color left sidebar

[bv0n]

But since it has been this hard I must be missing something.

Before I get to the issue, first Kudos to all you theme developers way more involved than I ever considered. Thank you for your efforts. In particular, two themes Prism and Kakano seemed to be very well put together.

I did search and found a lot of tips but nothing that seemed to address my issue directly.

What I’m trying to do

I’m trying to do something that seems very simple. All I want is to color the left side bar a solid color other than black.

Things I have tried

I went through a large number of different themes and none seemed to give me control over just the left sidebar. Not colored folders just simply color the sidebar. I finally went through the tutorial to create my own theme and that got me very close to what I want. I have one section that I want to change.

In the image above I have the left sidebar colored but the section boxed in red where the folder tabs are seems to be translucent and is showing the left sidebar color through. Would someone please tell me how to address this section in CSS. I am currently using the Sample Theme which I have badly beaten up

TIA

Those lines in my custom snippet…

```css
.is-hidden-frameless:not(.is-fullscreen)
  .workspace-tabs.mod-top-left-space
  .workspace-tab-header-container {
  background-color: green !important;
}
```

… are giving me this…

You’ll probably need to play around with different window states. Or not. I hope it gives you something to play with further.
