Hi To set a background image use: gdk_window_set_back_pixmap At ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gdk-pixbuf you can find the old pixbuf code for gtk+ v1.2. This can handle image loading, drawing, scaling etc. Take a look at the API at http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/gdk-pixbuf/ People tend to forget it: there are demo application included in the source distributions of Gtk, which help to understand how things can be done.
