Unfortunately, Paul is right here. What I've got is a theme engine which specifies every single draw_* function that the GtkStyle class allows me to define (and additionally, the set_background function). All of my functions (with the exception of draw_flat_box) do nothing; draw_flat_box draws a solid white rectangle over its entire area. The problem I'm having is that certain widgets are somehow still managing to draw stuff using functions that I can't seemingly override. I'm testing this all using Richard Stellingwerf's "The Widget Factory"--and from its default setup, the widgets which are still drawing data are: 1) Text entry, combobox and dropdown widgets. These widgets have correctly stopped drawing their outlines, arrows and button areas, but are still drawing their own text. The only reason that this irks me is because I've overridden both draw_string and draw_layout, which I assumed were responsible for all text handling (even if a widget did handle its own internals through functions that bypass the draw_* GtkStyle functions. 2) Tables. Tables are drawing a background for their column headers (solid black) and a background for their entry area (a color which is being retrieved from a gtkrc file). 3) Menubars and toolbars. Both are drawing solid black backgrounds which, as far as I can tell, are not being specified in any gtkrc file. I really haven't poked around in the GTK code enough (maybe only for half an hour or so) to even rule out some gtkrc file supplying the black background value; so I'm not too sure of anything yet. I was mainly asking here to see if it was just common knowledge that such-and-such widget draws a background that currently can't be avoided. Anyway, thanks for the responses Paul and Z, hopefully I'll get some time to poke around the GTK code and answer this for myself.
