[Vala] [ANNOUNCE] Vala 0.18.1 - Compiler for the GObject type system

[Jürg Billeter]

We are pleased to announce version 0.18.1 of Vala, a compiler for the
GObject type system.

Vala 0.18.1 is now available for download at:
   http://download.gnome.org/sources/vala/0.18/

Changes since 0.18.0
 * Bug fixes and binding updates.

Vala is a programming language that aims to bring modern programming
language features to GNOME developers without imposing any additional
runtime requirements and without using a different ABI compared to
applications and libraries written in C.

valac, the Vala compiler, is a self-hosting compiler that translates
Vala source code into C source and header files. It uses the GObject
type system to create classes and interfaces declared in the Vala source
code.

More information about Vala is available at

[Vala] [GTK+3] Setting colour for insensitive text

[tarnyko]

Hi folks, 

I have little problems setting colours for insensitive text in GTK entries. 
It used to work well with GTK+2, but with GTK+3 my choices seem to be 
ignored. 


Here is a Vala sample to demonstrate the problem :
http://www.tarnyko.net/repo/testgtk-insensitive_text.vala 

The important part is : 


Gdk.Color insensitive_color = Gdk.Color ();
Gdk.Color.parse ("red", out insensitive_color);
[...]
entry.set_sensitive (false);
entry.modify_text (StateType.INSENSITIVE, insensitive_color); 


I first instantiate a "Gdk.Color" object and parse the "red" colour in it.
Then I make my Entry insensitive, and associate insensitive text therein 
with my Color object. 


WORKS with GTK+2 :
valac --pkg gtk+-2.0 testgtk-insensitive_text.vala 


DOESN'T WORK with GTK+3 :
valac --pkg gtk+-3.0 testgtk-insensitive_text.vala 

Text is red in GTK+2, stays gray in GTK+3. 

Could someone give me a direction ? 

PS : I want to avoid using CSS if possible. 


Thanks, Tarnyko
