I am trying to use an RC file to set the background colour of a button. I am
able to change the colour of the font usinf the RC file, but not the background
colour or font. I am able to change the background of the window. The RC file
is;
style "window"
{
font = "-Adobe-Times-Bold-I-Normal--14-100-100-100-P-77-ISO8859-1"
# Yellow background
bg[NORMAL] = {1.0, 1.0, 0}
}
style "button"
{
font = "-Adobe-Times-Bold-I-Normal--14-100-100-100-P-77-ISO8859-1"
# Change font colour, WORKS
fg[PRELIGHT] = { 0, 0, 1.0 }
fg[ACTIVE] = { 0, 1.0, 0 }
fg[NORMAL] = { 1.0, 0, 0 }
fg[INSENSITIVE] = { 1.0, 1.0, 0 }
#Try to change background colour, DOES NOT WORK
bg[PRELIGHT] = { 0, 0, 1.0 }
bg[ACTIVE] = { 0, 1.0, 0 }
bg[INSENSITIVE] = { 1.0, 1.0, 0 }
bg[NORMAL] = { 0, 1.0, 1.0 }
base[PRELIGHT] = { 0, 0, 1.0 }
base[ACTIVE] = { 0, 0, 1.0 }
base[NORMAL] ={ 0, 0, 1.0 }
base[INSENSITIVE] = { 0, 0, 1.0 }
}
widget_class "GtkWindow" style "window"
widget_class "*GtkButton*" style "button"
I am able to set the colour of the button by editing the style in this method;
def setWidgetColour(widget, colour_string):
""" Takes a widget and sets the colour. """
r, g, b = colourToRGB16Bit(colour_string)
color = widget.get_colormap().alloc_color(r, g, b)
s = widget.get_style().copy()
for i in range(5):
s.fg[i] = color
s.bg[i] = color
s.base[i] = color
widget.set_style(s)
The problem is that when I use this method I lose the rounded corners which I
want to keep. Plus I'd rather use the RC files for ease of modification.
Having searched around for similar problems some people say that you need to
set the colour of the label, but then some people say that the label is
invisible. Others say you need to add the Button to a gtk.EventBox, so I'm a
little confused
I am using the most recent version of PyGTK (as of yesterday) with Python2.5.
Any help would be greatly appreciated- Thanks
