Re: [pygtk] gtk theme switch
my 2 cents on the subject of theme switching:
I have an application where I allow the user to switch themes while the
app is running.
(this is using gtk1.2.10)
I do the following:
1) rc_clear_styles()
2) gtk.rc_parse('new gtkrc')
3) change the mod time of 'new gtkrc'
#changing the mod time causes all entries in the hash table to be cleared
4)os.environ['GTK_RC_FILES']='new gtkrc'
5) gtk.rc_reparse_all()
6) for each widget w currently showing, w.reset_rc_styles()
Works for me for every window except my main toplevel.

I settled for updating just the window theme (it's running full screen
anyway). I could not find more information than what's in the pygtk
tutorial (rc_parse('rc file')).
I'd really appreciate it if someone could point me in the direction of some
docs or programs that make use of this kind of stuff.
My main question now is:
How do I update the application theme for all present and future widgets?
Thanks again.

* James Henstridge [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2002-07-30 09:15]: For gtk 1.2, pretty much the only way to cause all future apps to use the new theme, you need to write out a ~/.gtkrc file. This is for python 1.5.2 When you say write out a ~/.gtkrc what do you mean exactly. I am trying to switch from one theme to the other and to do it I parse the different gtkrc files. Why would I want to write it out and where. -- Philippe Gendreau ___ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/

For gtk 1.2, pretty much the only way to cause all future apps to use
the new theme, you need to write out a ~/.gtkrc file.
For gtk 2.0, the recommended way is to use an XSETTINGS manager. GNOME
2.0 provides such a daemon (gnome-settings-daemon), and you can control
it with gconf. Simply change the /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme
key to the name of the theme you want. If that doesn't do what you
want, you can create a ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file with the following line:
gtk-theme-name = foo
Note that the theme name from the XSETTINGS manager will take precedence
to the one in the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file.
James.

[pygtk] gtk theme switch
Hi,
I have been trying to offer a theme selection in an application,
but I can't get the chosen theme to update the screen. I'm not sure if
I'd like it to update only the application it runs from or the whole
desktop theme, but if I could get at least get one of both working I'd
be happy. Ideally, I'd like to have a desktop-theme switcher too.
I have made a little example-app to test it. If someone could look at it
and tell me what I am missing it would be really appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
