Hi, I wrote a custom widget for which some regions should appear selected. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, and the theme contains the following: @define-color bg_color #f2f1f0; @define-color selected_bg_color #f07746; @define-color selected_fg_color #ffffff; * { /* inherit the color from parent by default */ color: inherit; background-color: @bg_color; } *:selected, *:selected:focused { background-color: alpha (@selected_bg_color, 0.9); color: @selected_fg_color; } Using: gtk_style_context_get_background_color(ctxt, GTK_STATE_FLAG_SELECTED, &color); returns white, not the expected f07746. What am I missing? Thanks, Jean _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
