RE: [PHP-GTK] RE: Changing color/style on ascrollbarinaGtkScrolledWindow

Steph - Thanks for the explanation; it makes sense, given the behavior we've seen in our app. We went to the gtk-rc a long time ago, and it works great for the majority of our needs. But, we still have instances where we need style to work on an individual widget - like the Clist row highlight. One time, special requirement, dependent on certain circumstances with the data, not really covered by the rc. It would be great if this kind of thing was doable in PHP-Gtk2. Madeleine D.
