Re: RE: Changing color/style on a scrollbarinaGtkScrolledWindow

Steph,Madeleine, Malko, thanks very much for your input. I originally tried to get the style from the GtkScrolledWindow widget, and then tried to set it just as you showed in your example, Steff. > $style = $scrolledWin->style; > $red = new GdkColor('#FF0000'); > $green = new GdkColor('#00FF00'); > $blue = new GdkColor('#0000FF'); > $style->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL] = $red; > $style->bg[GTK_STATE_PRELIGHT] = $green; //slider hover > $style->bg[GTK_STATE_ACTIVE] = $blue; //trough > $scrolledWin->set_style($style); Unfortunately, as Madeleine suggests, this does not give the expected results. In fact, the results were so confounding that I abandoned this approach and only then pursued the vadjustment thingy. But I did re-review the manual page for GtkStyle(), and by using -- $style = gtk::widget_get_default_style() -- I was able to change the background color for the entire window, scrollbars, clist column headers, etc... So success was evetually achieved ;~) Although I don't want to prolong what seems to be a less than thrilling thread, I am curious as to whether others have been able use something like Steph's example to specifically change colors of scrollbars and clist column headers. It simply didn't work for me. As I'm on Win2k, I can't help but wonder whether this might be a consideration, cross-platform functionality notwithstanding. I will add a comment to the Wiki about my experience. Thanks, again, everyone. dave
