Hi folks, I'm struggling with a problem. I want to have a Layout as a child of a Layout, where the child Layout window is transparent, so that any drawing done to the parent Layout "shows through". I've established that a gtk Frame has a transparent window; if you place a Frame on a Layout and draw to the underlying Layout, the underlying drawing will show through (except for a few pixels associated with the Frame border). >From what I can tell, Frames don't touch their backgrounds at other, so the defaults apply, while Layouts do the following: gtk_style_set_background (widget->style, widget->window, GTK_STATE_NORMAL); gtk_style_set_background (widget->style, layout->bin_window, GTK_STATE_NORMAL); This in turn invokes the style code that sets the background pixmap to NULL or to the bg_pixmap for the specified state. I've tried making the bg_pixmap NULL (actually None since I'm using gtk), as well as some other approaches, but the child Layout window and bin_window always get rendered with the defualt background color or pixmap. Does anybody know how to make a Layout window transparent? I know frame can do it, so I suspect I can write my own widget that derives from Container, but there's gotta be a "right" way.
