Hello all.
In the process of making a bunch of widgets I have stumbled upon this
issue: I need to paint various parts of my widget, but I would like to
make the color of the parts controlled by the theme. I.e. the properties I
want to deal with are extra, self-invented properties besides the usual
style properties.
(Note: I am using PyGTK 2.12, GTK 2.10 on Arch Linux)
I have figured out how to manually load a theme-file accompanying my
application (by setting the environment variable GTK2_RC_FILES to ./gtkrc
before initializing gtk)
However I cannot insert my own property-names in such a file. The
following gives rise to a syntax error:
# My Properties
scalartrack_segment_handle_size = 5
Besides I wouldn't know how to get those properties out again so I can use
them in an expose event
So...
I am asking for the canonical way to implement new widgets and push the
choice of color, size and pixmap-overlays to the theme-designer. The
alternative is drawing with libcairo and using hardwired style properties.
Regards, Rene Jensen
