I am looking a bit more in-depth at GTK styling - using GTK-Inspector to look at various settings.

Specifically I'm looking at CSS styling.

Under Ubuntu 16.04 GTK-Inspector correctly displays my revised CSS styling.

Under Ubuntu 16.10 it doesn't ... So anybody any ideas what the secret trick is to change the CSS for a GTK application using GTK-Inspector?

16.10:

CSS styling - the button labels do not change to red

16.04:

CSS styling - the button labels correctly change to red enter image description here

The CSS conventions have changed in GTK+3.20 compared to GTK+3.18

If you look at the GTK documentation - CSS Nodes section

enter image description here

for GtkLabel the CSS should now be

label { color: red; };

in GTK+3.18 the CSS Node was GtkLabel i.e. 

GtkLabel { color: red; }
