Hello, you cannot - at least directly. But perhaps one of the many engines for gtk has this as an option. There are too few hints to these engines in the documentation - i used gtk via pygtk (Python) for two years in a midsize project never getting to any hint to the engines. Engines can provide new style attributes to be used in rc-files (or -strings). Perhaps one or two of the many engines around are providing round buttons. Otherwise you could meditate about writing an own engine respective modifying an existing one. At a first glance at two or three examples their code looked comparitively easy to me. This is a way to every possible shape of widgets and gtk's redemption of the promise of high quality UIs. The fixed border-width of 2 pixels could be overcome so too for example (what gtk calls a "border" is what the rest of the world calls a "margin"). Good luck, Joost Behrends _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
