Looks like gvim maximizes to the greatest number of full lines and columns?
The rest of the screen is filled with pale gray.
Can I recolor the filled area? Changing my gtk theme doesn't seem to help.
I got this working using the following, fairly simple file:
==> $HOME/.themes/Raleigh/gtk-2.0/gtkrc <==
style "custom-background" {
# change the "#RGB"/"#RRGGBB" style color here:
# using pure red for testing
bg[NORMAL] = "#f00"
}
widget "vim-main-window.*.GtkForm" style "custom-background"
===========================================
I figured out the format of the file through GNOME's
GnomeArt/Tutorials/GtkThemes wiki page¹.
I figured out the theme name by running:
$ strace -e trace=file gvim +q | grep themes/ | sed 1q
access("/home/bhaskell/.themes/Raleigh/gtk-2.0/gtkrc", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
(I don't run a GNOME WM, so I assume Raleigh is a default.)
And I figured out the widget path (so as to not turn the menus red)
using the useful "Parasite" program², which bills itself as a
Firebug-like program for GTK+ applications.
Of course, none of this will work if you're not using a GTK+ Gvim.
