Hi, In the past several months I've worked occassionally with jgtk and can say that by now I have a much better understanding of how it works, and how to add functions based on online reference - managed to implement some DnD (thanks to Bill Lam for the guidance and tips). However, right now I'm stuck on a seemingly simple task of coloring a button widget :) I don't understand what the overall process in gtk should be for this.
>From what I could figure out it should be something like creating/assigning a >color and then using widget_override_background to color the widget: 1. gdk_color_parse 'Blue', mycolor 2. gtk_widget_override_background_color mybutton, 0, mycolor but I'm sure I'm missing a big chunk of understanding for part 1... I see that gdk_colormap_alloc_color is mentioned and 'allocating' a color, but don't know what that means - and if it's necessary, what are colormaps anyway, should they be used ? :) Any guidance and/or and a simple working example from someone with a better understanding of this would be great.
