Hi, I want to set the background pixmap for gtkentry. At the same time i want the text to start at an xoffset. So I set the xthickness to 8 and the background pixmap to the widget->window. The widget window gets the pixmap but the entry->text_area is still drawn in default base color. So its gives an appearance that there is another box painted on the pixmap on which the text is rendered. If I set the pixmap to the entry->text_area window then there is a border around the text area ( which is the widget window) that does not have the pixmap. I tried gdk_clear_area (entry->text_area) in expose and gdk_window_set_back_pixmap (entry->text_area,NULL, TRUE) in realize function but no results. Can someone tell me where to make the change to make text area transparent so that it takes d pixmap as background? _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
