Re: [CM] snd gtk background colors
I think gtk wants to present a "brand" -- the "theme" writer conjures up a style, including all color choices, widget geometries, etc, and every program is constrained to march in step. snd-gutils.c has a couple attempts to get around this, but since the gtk developers are busily subverting it, there's almost no hope it will work. The way a theme is defined changes radically every few months, and it is a large task. gtk4 will be even worse -- I'll go down fighting... (Why do they think someone would develop a heavily-graphical program, and not care what it looks like?) ___ Cmdist mailing list Cmdist@ccrma.stanford.edu https://cm-mail.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/cmdist

[CM] snd gtk background colors
Hi, setting the main background color in snd-gtk doesn't seem to have any effect on my machine. It works setting *selected-graph-color* and *selected-data-color*. I use a dark theme (Adwaita-dark) as my main theme and would prefer to have a dark background of the main pane with white menu fonts. It seems that snd doesn't pick up the theme's colors. Does anybody know of a workaround? It seems to be a non trivial task to get colors defined for specific apps in gnome. The snd version I use (16.8) was compiled with Gtk+ 2.24.31 Maybe I should roll my own snd with Motif... -- Orm ___ Cmdist mailing list Cmdist@ccrma.stanford.edu https://cm-mail.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/cmdist
