Following specific instructions for setting scrollbar width found here: http://bytes.com/topic/python/answers/710473-how-use-styles-pygtk I constructed the following scrollwidth.rc file: __________________________ style "wide_range" { GtkRange::slider-width = 40 }
class "GtkRange" style "wide_range" __________________________ I placed the file in my activity folder, then added the following line toward the beginning of the init segment of my activity (.py): gtk.rc_parse("scrollwidth.rc") The activity (which uses a full-screen gtk.ScrolledWindow) runs fine and its log reflects no errors. However, the window's scrollbars remain the default width. (They are fully viewable as well.) (I did try: gtk.rc_parse("~/Activities/OurMusic.activity/scrollwidth.rc") as well; identical result.) I thought something like this might work - experimenting with the possibility of widening scrollbars, since any change would be limited to my activity. Does anyone see the flaw(s) here?
