You can create a theme that makes highlighted widget look equally as non-highlighted. Here is a quick hack using gtk event filtering. It blocks all activation events. It works well, but probably blocks more that you want - for example tap to menu bar and moving stylus over different menus does not work, as it needs notify signals as well. It needs some experimenting and improvement. Maybe it should not block enter/leave signals if button is pressed (stylus is on the screen) and generate leave signal if button is released (stylus was lifted). Maybe use g_signal_handler_block() applied on "enter" and "leave" signals. Maybe use gtk_get_event_widget() in the filter and block events only for selected widget. #include <gtk/gtk.h> static void filter (GdkEvent *event, gpointer data) { if (event->type != GDK_ENTER_NOTIFY && event->type != GDK_LEAVE_NOTIFY) gtk_main_do_event (event); } void gtk_module_init (gint *argc, gchar ***argv) { gdk_event_handler_set (filter, NULL, NULL); } Please let me know your result. I am thinking about improvement of libgtkstylus. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbra...@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966, +49 911 740538747 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
