This is a bad API to export to users -- I cannot think of a single use for it, besides breaking the user's theme in some terrible way. I'd recommend stubbing it out for now and making it do nothing, and evaluating on a case-by-case what breaks.

Hi Jasper -
We are porting Eclipse SWT to GTK3 and SWT has API to set the background image of a widget.
Thanks,

The basic question I have is "why do you want to do this"?

Hi -
GtkWidget provides API to override the background color defined in the Gtk Theme ( gtk_widget_override_background_color ).
It doesn't seem to provide anything similar to override the background image other than building a CSS stylesheet and using a GtkCssProvider to load it.
Using this approach requires that the image resides somewhere in the filesystem . If you have an image already in memory you can't use it without first saving it out.
Another approach would be to write a custom GtkStyleProvider (similar to the GtkModifierStyle) which provides an override background image function. This approach seems impossible as a portion of the style provider implementation is private (the GtkStyleProviderPrivate interface).
Are there any other options for setting the background image on a widget using an in-memory image?
Thanks,
Bogdan & Silenio
