Hi,
I need to create some complex widgets for my program. The first of
which is the main widget which will show static rectangles within
which other rectangles appear and disappear at musical rates (think
fast electronic dance music rates). The static rectangles may overlap
each other, but the
Is there a particular reason that you need a custom widget? Can you not
just use a GtkDrawingArea and use Cairo to draw things in it?
The official Cairo documentation (the tutorial is here:
http://cairographics.org/tutorial/) and the Gtk documentation are
probably good places to start.

Hello.
I usually encapsulate my code into custom widgets when:
- I need my widget in lots of places

As long as code is small and relatively clean, I simply use
GtkDrawingArea and draw onto it from ::expose-event handler.
