Hi, I am reluctant to ask this and my only excuse is that I have never before had a problem setting widget colors with either gtk1.2 or 2.X. Anyway here goes! How do I change the color of the bar in a gtk progress bar in GTK2.2 I have tried all the usual gtk_widget_modify fg,bg etc and after searching the archives have tried PRELIGHT as well as the usual NORMAL and ACTIVE options (this was suggested to someone a while ago but probably for gtk1.2) For me however the bar color stays obstinately blue! Any polite help very gratefully received. Nick Soffe.
