If you want I can send you libgtk-0.dll for you to try or if you compile your own gtk dll add the following to the end of real_select_row function in gtkclist.c if (CLIST_UNFROZEN (clist) && (gtk_clist_row_is_visible (clist, row) != GTK_VISIBILITY_NONE)) GTK_CLIST_CLASS_FW (clist)->draw_row (clist, NULL, row, clist_row); /* new bits below */ gtk_clist_draw_focus (GTK_WIDGET (clist)); gdk_gc_set_line_attributes (clist->xor_gc, 1, GDK_LINE_SOLID, 0, 0); clist->focus_row = row; gtk_clist_draw_focus (GTK_WIDGET (clist)); -- regards, Tom
