Workspace color picker does not update custom workspace tab background (v0.7.17) #10

Workspace color picker does not update active workspace background (v0.7.17)

Version: wmux v0.7.17
OS: Windows 11 Pro Version 10.0.26200 Build 26200
Install type: Release ZIP


Summary

Right‑clicking a workspace and selecting a color does not update the workspace background color.
The issue only affects all session tabs in workspace.

After investigation, the root cause is a CSS rule using !important that overrides the inline background color applied by the color picker. Running the app after making this change allowed me to once again change colors.


Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open wmux
  2. Right‑click a session tab in the sidebar
  3. Select a color
  4. Observe that:
    • The tab color does not update
    • Inline styles are applied, but overridden by CSS !important rule

Expected Behavior

  • The selected color should apply once selected
  • No CSS rule should block user‑selected colors

Actual Behavior

  • Active tab background remains unchanged
  • .workspace-row--active uses background: #0091FF !important, overriding inline styles
  • Removing !important resolves the issue

🔍 Root Cause

The following rule in the sidebar stylesheet prevents inline background colors from taking effect:

.workspace-row--active {
  background: #0091FF !important;
}
