You are fighting the intent of GTK, and you will have difficulty. The best suggestion I've seen is to ship a self-contained app with it's own GTK and theme. On MSWindows, this should be easy enough (it's probably what you'd do anyway), and MSWindows users won't mind a goofy looking app. There are good reasons for overriding themes: to show additional state to the user, or to catagorize or group related controls. Just be careful that what you do will survive in other themes and will work for the visually impaired (even the colorblind). ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/> _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
