The Linux kernel has a configuration utility, gconfig, which uses two Treeview widgets. On my system, the utility is completely unusable because the selected items have black text on dark blue background. I am not a regular gtk programmer, but I took some time to look into the issue, doing some RTMF'ing and strace'ing the utility to make sure I understood what gtkrc files the utility was reading. I could not find it had other relevant resources than /usr/share/themes/Bluecurve/gtk-2.0/gtkrc, where I found style "bluecurve-default" { ... bg[SELECTED] = "#4464ac" base[SELECTED] = "#4464ac" text[SELECTED] = "#ffffff" fg[SELECTED] = "#ffffff" ... } style "bluecurve-tree" = "bluecurve-default" { xthickness = 2 ythickness = 2 } widget_class "*.GtkTreeView.GtkButton" style "bluecurve-tree" (When are the 'base' and 'text' values used?) >From this I read that the selected item(s) should have white text on blue background. Obviously I must be missing something, and I think I could use some tips. What should I be looking for? Have anyone of you tried the same utility with different results? Could you suggest another (preferably small) utility that has a treeview, just to see if that one too comes up with black on blue in selected items?
