Hi, I've been messing around with different approaches in hope of making the background of a GtkTextView transparent with no solution in sight. The closest I've come is making the whole widget transparent[1], but as I want to keep the text non-transparent this is not an option. The reason I want a GtkTextView transparent is that I want to create a window with a background image, and being able to put a text area of variable size somewhere on it (the user will be able to move the text area), and it's the window background that should be seen through the GtkTextView. A picture says more than a thousand words, so have a look at the video of OmmWriter[2]. Any hints on how to accomplish this with GTK+friends based libraries would be greatly appreciated.
