Hello,

I'm trying to set background color for buttons as described in this sample code. Unfortunately it doesn't work.

I think I tried it before and it worked correctly. Maybe they have changed something in GTK+ recently. Could you please have a look at it.

Please refer to the following:

Try the suggestion there and see if it works.

Sorry, I missed the comments.

With this modification it works. Unfortunately it is not a solution for me, because need to make it work on other people's systems. So editing the default gtkrc is not an option for me. Is there any other workaround?

I also read there is an option to create and import your own gtkrc file, where you can your own style (colors). Do you know how to it?

Thanks a lot for your great guides. I'm currently programming in PHP-GTK and PyGTK. Your guides work there after syntax modification too.

Yes, it's possible to modify some of the gtkrc style on the fly.

However, I spent some time to try it just now. It seems that if you have the "wimp" engine set in the gtkrc file, once it's loaded, there's no way you can change that.

You can try this:

1) Move the original gtkrc to some other location, or just rename it.

2) Then in the first line of your PHP-GTK program, add this:
gtk::rc_parse('path_to_your_self_defined_rc_file');

The above will work.

However, now move the gtkrc (with the "wimp" engine on) back to its original location. You will find that the above will not work.
