Re: Memory problem

[Bruce A. Smith]

Hi Antony Why bother allocating a new style each time? You can either allocate one new style when you initialize the app, or just access the default one. The memory leak is probably because each time a new style is created, the old one is not being released. The default one will be used by other widgets in the tree and won't be released, while GTK may not track new styles allocated by the user for automatic trashing. Hope this helps Bruce A.
