Re: theme question
I am just learning about GTK and I have a related problem. My test program does not seem to find my ~/.gtkrc file. If I add a line to my program: gtk_rc_parse (/u/dave/.gtkrc); It finds the file correctly. If I write this line as either: gtk_rc_parse (~/.gtkrc); or gtk_rc_parse ($HOME/.gtkrc); it does NOT find the file, so it looks like some kind of a default path problem. I added three additional lines to the program: system(ls -l /u/dave/.gtkrc); system(ls -l ~/.gtkrc); system(ls -l $HOME/.gtkrc); and I get the following output on the terminal: -rw-rw-r--1 daveusers 813 2003-05-30 09:39 /u/dave/.gtkrc -rw-rw-r--1 daveusers 813 2003-05-30 09:39 /u/dave/.gtkrc -rw-rw-r--1 daveusers 813 2003-05-30 09:39 /u/dave/.gtkrc so $HOME seems to be exported correctly. Any ideas? Also, while I am able to change colors and pixmaps using .gtkrc, I don't seem to be able to select a new font. If I add the line: font = -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*-* (generated using xfontsel) the font remains unchanged. I have also tried numerous other fonts listed by xlsfonts with the same result. Is there a font_path-like variable that needs to be set (similar to pixmap_path)? Thanks in advance.

I added three additional lines to the program: system(ls -l /u/dave/.gtkrc); system(ls -l ~/.gtkrc); system(ls -l $HOME/.gtkrc); these commands are interpreted by a shell, so that ls(1) sees the full path. ___ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
Re: theme question
Thanks - your suggestion did the trick. BTW, I am using gtk+-2.2.1, (my distro initially loaded 1.2). Any ideas on why the font command still doesn't work in this file?

The syntax for gtkrc-2.0 is not 100% compatible with the old gtkrc format. Fonts are no longer specified using the XLFD. If you want to change the default font, try adding a single line like: gtk-font-name = Sans 10 Sven ___ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
