I am wondering if it is possible to get the name of the current CSS-class the button is asigned to?

scrollbar background to be the same color as the terminal
background.
Essentially, add a class to the widget and then construct the
CSS for the class with your random background color as a
string. Create a CSSProvider and use loadFromData, same as
captaindet's example, to load the CSS in the string. Finally,
use the widget's style context to add the CSS provider which
you just constructed. If you want to change the color, remove
that provider and add a new one.
Ahhh. Thas possible for sure, thanks alot!
I finally found the solution for my background-color problem: we
have to remove the image first, so this works for me now:
#CssName{
background-image: none;
background-color:green;
color:green;
}

string cssPath = "test.css";
CssProvider provider = new CssProvider();
provider.loadFromPath(cssPath);
unfortunately i don't know anything about yr specific problem.
but i just wanted to mention (in case you are not aware of it) that the
CSS can be embedded into the D source. this is what i did to fix GTKs
terrible design mistake for the background of Notebook:
```
enum myCSS = q{
GtkNotebook {
background-color: #e9e9e9;
}
GtkNotebook tab {
background-color: #d6d6d6;
}
};
...
int main(string[] args){
...
import gtk.CssProvider;
auto styleProvider = new CssProvider;
styleProvider.loadFromData(myCSS);
import gdk.Screen;
import gtk.StyleContext;
StyleContext.addProviderForScreen( Screen.getDefault(),
styleProvider, 800);
```

Thanks for your reply, i now tried to use CSS instead:
import std.stdio;
import std.file;
import gtk.Main;
import gtk.MainWindow;
import gtk.CssProvider;
import gtk.Button;
import gdk.Display;
import gdk.Screen;
import gtk.StyleContext;
class Window : MainWindow{
this(int width, int height, string title){
super(title);
setDefaultSize(width, height);
Button btn = new Button("Test");
btn.setName("CssName");
string cssPath = "test.css";
CssProvider provider = new CssProvider();
provider.loadFromPath(cssPath);
Display display = Display.getDefault();
Screen screen = display.getDefaultScreen();
StyleContext.addProviderForScreen(screen, provider,
GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_APPLICATION);
add(btn);
showAll();
}
}
void main(string[] args){
writeln(getcwd());
Main.init(args);
auto win = new Window(250,250,"Tutorial");
Main.run();
}
This is my CSS:
GtkWindow{
background-color:blue;
}
#CssName{
-GtkWidget-focus-line-width:0;
background-color:green;
color:green;
}
The text color is green but the button background color is still
default-gray!
I am also wondering how it is possible to change the button color
at runtime? In my opinion i don't think that CSS-based style has
alot of advantages over the commonly used object functions.
