Change background colour of toolbars in TeXstudio

just that I'm on an OSX device

With How do I change color settings in TeXStudio? and How can I set a dark theme in TeXstudio? I managed to change the colour of the editor (in this case to a darker theme to prevent eye strain).

Now I would like to change the colour of

The toolbars
The Structure and Message / Log File menus
The line numbers at the left of the editor
The Line, Visual column, Text column counter below the editor

I already tried the advanced options from Options -> Configure TeXstudio.

The GUI is not fully customizable. The only choice you have is Options -> General -> Appearance -> Color Scheme which let's you choose between OS-style toolbars ("Classic") and custom dark toolbars ("Modern"). All other colors are derived from the color sheme of your desktop (not sure how much configurability OSX offers there).

With advanced options enabled there's an additional checkbox Ignore most system colors next to the above setting. It overwrites some of the system settings. But its main intention is to resolve possible conflicts between the "Modern" color scheme and system settings.

[Tex/LaTex] Change float background colour

Looking at the color documentation, it says that \colorbox uses the parameters \fboxrule and \fboxsep. Maybe try

\setlength\fboxrule{0pt}
\setlength\fboxsep{0pt}

before using the \colorbox.

Edit:
It seems to work for me. The space between the rules isn't added by the \colorbox, but by the ruled float style. One possibility would be to design a new float style and then use \restylefloat from the float package to change the style of the algorithm floats. Rather than do that, I just added some kerns.

I'm becoming less and less convinced this is the right way to do these things. It feels like we're just piling hack on top of hack here. I feel like this is partly due to using LyX, but I have zero experience with it, so I'm not positive.

[Tex/LaTex] Change background colour of toolbars in TeXstudio

Toolbars: At "Options -> General -> Appearance -> Color Scheme" you can choose between the following two settings:

"Classic": Use native system settings.
"Modern": A proprietary design with dark and more flat toolbars (color is not changable).

Other elements: All these elements use the native system settings of your Desktop design (If you change the desktop design, you may need to restart TeXstudio so that these changes take effect).
