The rules-hint property is always False in the TreeView regardless of which data set I display. If I set rules-hint to True, I do indeed get alternating colors in the background with all data sets. However, the colors are darker for the data sets that had alternating colors already. >From your last statement, I conclude that the Ubuntu theme is broken. I gather that the reason I do not get alternating colors in the background of the treeview on the other platform with exactly the same code is that the theme on that platform is not broken. Because the background comes and goes depending on the data I display, it must be that something in the data is provoking the defect in the theme. If I can find out what that is, perhaps I will have a clue how to fix the theme. Stop presses. It's the number of columns. All data sets that require 3 columns have a background. All data sets that require 2 columns do not. Here it is. If I comment out the line that sets the sort indicator, I do not get the colored background for any data set. -- Jeffrey Barish _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
