I hope you only wrote "modify_bg" as a simplification and don't actually have that in code. Colors are a theme issue. If you just want to make the user able to recolor your widget, give it a name(gtk_widget_set_name("foobar")). Then as user / theme author in "~/.gtkrc-2.0" / your theme do: style "foo" { bg[NORMAL] = { 0.5, 0.5, 0.7 } base[NORMAL] = { 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 } } widget "foobar" style "foo" If, on the other hand, you draw your own widget: http://traveller.cvs.sourceforge.net/traveller/tpanel/gtaskitem.py?view=markup This also makes it a lot easier to test when what change works where :-) > if this is way off topic, sorry, and please redirect me to proper list. Seems on-topic to me, however I don't have an answer to your particular question. Maybe create an eventbox, theme that and add your notebook in it? Should be able to find out by hacking a bit... cheers, Danny _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Perhaps I'm not thinking about it enough, but I want to create a purpose-built environment, not a general purpose app. Therefore, I really DO want to set the colors, etc, myself. However, perhaps your method allows me to easily change it after the app is built, and is a much more general approach. Nonetheless, from my reading of the widget documentation, a "label" is not supposed to have it's own background -- rather it should be transparent. I'm not sure which component is causing the background to take over my setting. I wonder if the Hildon environment is causing the "problem" -- but then again, why is it working differntly under the scratchbox (in native PC mode)? Thanks for any help on this.
