Hi, I had a problem modifying some widget colors using gtk_widget_modify_xx in gtk2.0 with themes such as RH9.0 Bluecurve which uses pixmaps for some widgets. This was solved the old gtk1.2 way by creating a new style and using gtk_widget_set_style within the program (thanks Owen). I would prefer to use an rc file to make the changes but although this works fine with most themes it exhibits the original problem and some themes overwrite my changes. Can this overwriting be prevented when using an rc file to modify just a few named widgets? I'm using gtk_widget_set_name and calling gtk_rc_parse just before gtk_init.
