[Bug] Time Label not themeable

[deadbody13]

Describe the bug
Time label isn't themeable. I tried finding this in GTK Inspector and can't for the life of me figure out how to style it. I've tried copying the template theme and other people's themes and it doesn't seem to respond to any of it.

To Reproduce
Make any change to the .time class.

Expected behavior
Label should respond to changes in theme.

Might be that your global GTK theme is overriding the set values?

Ok, figured it out. Seems to be a GTK 3 bug... Try pressing the pause button in the inspector twice... Sighs

I debugged this with @deadbody13 together (yesterday), and neither setting styles for .time in the theme worked, nor in the inspector, even after disabling and enabling the inspector overwrites.

The overwrite panel by the way is a hard overwrite. So as far as I know anything you style there should not be able to be overwritten by a base theme. It's kind of like !important in CSS.

[ErikReider]

Hmmm. It seems like the preinstalled css theme is interfering with any custom styling within the debugger. Setting the .time color within the users custom CSS file works as expected so my guess would be that your cssPriority config option isn't set to "user"?

Just checked the config.json and it was set to application. Changed it to user and relaunched swaync. It's still not responding to any changes. Also tried editing the files in /etc/xdg/swaync just to see if that did anything and it doesn't appear to have any effect.

That's strange... On my end, editing the system CSS file has an effect. What GTK theme are you using?
