a word of advice, first: GTK 3.16 (release: February 2015) will not support new theming engines — the API has been deprecated and it's not used internally any more. the CSS machinery is now capable of doing all that theme engines can do, unless they abuse the API to do things that were *explicitly* disallowed, like retrieving the GtkWidget being drawn. my suggestion is to rewrite the theme using CSS. in general, though, GdkPixmap was replaced by cairo surfaces; all cairo drawing on X11 happens on a cairo surface backed by a Pixmap, and if you have a Pixmap that is used to store all the theme elements like a texture atlas (like the old Nokia internet tablets did, back in the day) then you can easily use cairo to draw regions of that pixmap on the cairo context provided to the theme engine API when it's asked to draw something with the given GtkStyleContext. again, though: my strong suggestion is to rewrite the theme using CSS. you'll find that it's easier to develop, test, and deploy than an actual shared library that gets loaded at run time. ciao, Emmanuele.
