Apologies for the awful formatting of that posting - let me try again :
The gtk3 reference on resource files,
gtk+-3.0.2/docs/reference/gtk/html/gtk3-Resource-Files.html,
states that, although deprecated,
"certain files will be read at the end of gtk_init().
Unless modified, the files looked for will be
<SYSCONFDIR>/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and .gtkrc-3.0 in the users home directory."
My experience with the ~/.gtkrc-3.0 file when running my application compiled
against gtk+-3.0.2
is that it has no effect at all.
Specifically, I have a file named both gtkrc-2.0 and gtkrc-3.0
(both hard-linked to same content which I show below)
When I compile my app against gtk-2 and run it, I see the expected result,
with the HighContrast theme applied to borders etc
and the text of my GtkEntry entryBox in Binner Gothic font.
When I compile the same app against gtk-3 and run it in the same way
(without any XDG_CONFIG_HOME or any use of any new gtk-3 settings features
such as a settings.ini, css styles etc,
i.e. trying to simulate a simple migration with only re-bulding the app),
I see plain old Raleigh and the Sans 10 font for the text in the entrybox.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug ? (in the documentation or in the
code?)
By the way, yes, I did verify that my gtk3 build is in effect in my gtk3
scenario -
I set up a settings.ini and css stylesheet as another variation, and tried
with a new-to-gtk3 widget (lightswitch) and then get my settings applied and
the
light-switch works as expected.
(BTW-1 - I tried to search the mailing list for hits on .gtkrc-3.0 and got
Oops! This link appears to be broken.
The requested URL /mailman/search was not found on this server
BTW-2 I hope this is the correct list for this question - if not please
advise)
Cheers John Lumby
