Can you style a GMenu?

Thanks!

I was indeed able to style it with CSS (for the most part – it seems resistant to certain types of styling, but that’s a different question):
styled_GMenu

For anyone curious, in my executable’s directory, I made a prototype.css file with:

/* Style menus */
.menu {
    margin: 50px;
}

/* Style menu entries */
.menu * {
    color: white;
    background-color: red;
}

Note: The margin: 50px; is why the menu in the screenshot’s surrounded by a huge black square. Ordinarily, the black area would be transparent, but I have my desktop environment’s compositor disabled. That disables transparency, rendering the transparent area solid black.

Then, in the callback function connected to my GtkApplication’s activate signal:

// Apply CSS stylesheet.
GdkDisplay* display = gdk_display_get_default();
GtkCssProvider* css_provider = gtk_css_provider_new();
GFile* css_stylesheet = g_file_new_for_path("./prototype.css");

gtk_css_provider_load_from_file(css_provider,
                                css_stylesheet);
gtk_style_context_add_provider_for_display(display,
                                           GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER(css_provider),
                                           GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_FALLBACK);

g_object_unref(css_stylesheet);
g_object_unref(css_provider);
