I am trying to make the background colour of all TextViews white, using something along the lines of (this is gtkmm, but the problem is the same in pure gtk): Glib::ustring data = "GtkTextView { background: white; }"; auto css = Gtk::CssProvider::create(); css->load_from_data(data); auto screen = Gdk::Screen::get_default(); Gtk::StyleContext::add_provider_for_screen(screen,css,GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_USER); This does make the background white, but it also makes the colour used for selection highlight white. As a result, I can't see anymore what I am selecting. A different colour leads to the same result: the highlight colour becomes the same as the background colour, and hence the selection becomes invisible. The same also happens when using the override_background_color(..) function of the widget. Is this a bug? (this is with gtk-3.10.8). Or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!
