I think you're not getting my point here. I'm creating a pixmap with: pixmap=create_pixmap(widget,width,height,-1) then I create my mask with: mask=create_pixmap(widget,width,height,1) I then draw the text in the colours I want (these are parsed on runtime) with: first: draw_rectangle(mask,widget.get_style().black_gc,TRUE,0,0,width,height) and then draw_text(mask,font,widget.get_style().white_gc,2,14,string) And then the same for the pixmap only with the prober colours. I'm not loading anything. So, does anyone know how to go about getting transparency? Fingers crossed...... ;) (and not anywere near as pissed as I may sound, actually quite jolly... sorta) Christian Storgaard / Cybolic - [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk
