Hi,
I'm confused about setting the background color on a textview.
I've googled, but the answers seem to not work, or I didn't understand
them properly.
I have a scrolled window with a text view inside, and using pango markup.
I have tried
view1 = gtk.TextView();
view1.modify_bg(gtk.STATE_NORMAL, gtk.gdk.color_parse("papaya
whip") ) #have tried plain names such as red, green blue
sw = gtk.ScrolledWindow()
sw.set_shadow_type(gtk.SHADOW_ETCHED_IN)
sw.set_policy(gtk.POLICY_NEVER, gtk.POLICY_AUTOMATIC)
sw.add(view1)
No change to the background.
I notice that scrolledWindow does not receive x events, and seen
comments that you need an eventbox so can change background, ... but
does that also apply to textview when it's embedded in the
ScrolledWindow?, do I need to but the scrolled window into a eventbox so
the textview can get the event?
I looked at pango, and from what I can understand I can successfully set
the paragraphs background color, ... but not the whole TextView?, also
the margins are still white, and that looks kind of ugly.
table = textbuf.get_tag_table()
tag = gtk.TextTag('marketspeak')
tag.set_property( 'weight', pango.WEIGHT_BOLD)
tag.set_property( 'foreground', "black")
tag.set_property( 'paragraph-background', "papaya whip") #"yellow")
tag.set_property( 'left_margin', 10)
tag.set_property( 'right_margin', 10)
table.add(tag)
Can someone steer me in the right direction.
If it matters I am on Windows 2K.
Thanks
Steve
