Hello. I have question - how to change color of checkbutton background properly (background of small square where check-sign is placed)? Look at this function: void CustomCheckBox::set_background( const Gdk::Color& color ) { if( Gtk::Widget* w = get_focus_widget() ) { static Glib::RefPtr< Gtk::RcStyle > default_style( 0 ); const Glib::RefPtr< Gtk::RcStyle > modifier_style = w->get_modifier_style(); if( !default_style ) { default_style = modifier_style->copy(); default_style->reference(); } if( color != Gdk::Color() ) { modifier_style->set_color_flags( Gtk::STATE_NORMAL, Gtk::RC_BG ); modifier_style->set_bg( Gtk::STATE_NORMAL, color ); w->modify_style( modifier_style ); // this row used only for checkbutton, otherwise set_bg has no effect w->get_style()->set_white( color ); // ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ } else { w->modify_style( default_style ); } } } It works well for any widget except checkbutton. Of course I am using Gtk::RcStyle::set_base() for widgets that derived from Entry. The problem with checkbutton is that it won't change background just on widget creation, some later (when window "completelly" shown) it works well. I tried to override on_style_changed() method to call set_background from there on widget creation - no luck. Any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance, -andrew _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
