Changing themes is NOT an option.
on gtk3 you can load a specific stylesheet that has 'application priority'. that will overrule the theme. something like this (copied from bluefish sourcecode): GtkCssProvider *cssp = gtk_css_provider_new(); gtk_css_provider_load_from_data(cssp, my_css_string, -1, NULL); stc = gtk_widget_get_style_context(GTK_WIDGET(btv)); gtk_style_context_add_provider(stc, GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER(cssp), GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_APPLICATION); Olivier _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
