Hi, I'm still having a problem changing the color of a progress bar in one of my programs using gtk 2.0. I've extracted the offending code into a trivial test program and I still can't make it work. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've modified the colors of various other widgets in the app and these work fine. I'm sure I've done this under gtk1.2 using modify_style and it worked ok then. gint main(gint argc,gchar *argv[]) { GtkWidget *window; GtkWidget* bar; GdkColor color; gtk_init (&argc,&argv); window=gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL); bar=gtk_progress_bar_new(); gdk_color_parse("red",&color); gtk_widget_modify_bg(bar,GTK_STATE_PRELIGHT, &color); gtk_progress_bar_set_fraction(GTK_PROGRESS_BAR(bar),0.5); gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window),bar); gtk_widget_show_all (window); gtk_main(); return 0; } Nick Soffe. _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
