hi, you need to use an event box, GtkFrame does not have its own X window, so you must make one yourself using GtkEventBox and then modify it, e.g., your background color. discussion and example at: http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/ch-ContainerWidgets.html richard 2008/12/30 Harinandan S <harinandans@xxxxxxxxx> Hi All, Is it possible to set background color to a GtkFrame? I am using Gtk+ 2.12.2 over DirectFB 1.1.1 and there are no window decorations. I am not able to enable it either. So thought of putting a background color to a GtkFrame and put the window contents in that. But I'm not able to set background color. How can I do this?
