Hi, My program runs on a device on which it is very hard to see the current selected widget. I therefore wrote to functions "on_button_focus_in_event" and "on_button_focus_out_event" that set or reset the background color ( gtk_widget_modify_bg( widget, GTK_STATE_NORMAL, &color_active ) and gtk_widget_modify_bg( widget, GTK_STATE_NORMAL, NULL ) respectively ) and attached these callbacks to my buttons. I tried the same trick with the combo boxes but the background does not change. Anybody got any suggestions how I can change the color of a combo box when it gets the focus? Thanks in advance Alwin _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
