The string for rc_parse_string() is the same format as the rc files. It basically allows you to embed an rc file in your application. Here is an example: rcfile = """ style "default_style" { bg[NORMAL] = { 0.5647, 0.6902, 0.6588 } bg[ACTIVE] = { 0.49, 0.60, 0.57 } bg[PRELIGHT] = { 0.67, 0.83, 0.79 } bg[INSENSITIVE] = { 0.5647, 0.6902, 0.6588 } } widget_class "*" style "default_style" """ rc_parse_string(rcfile) The reason that the "style.bg_pixmap[...] = pixmap" causes a crash is a bug and will be fixed in the next version.
