$window = new GtkWindow();
$window->set_size_request(400, 150);
$window->connect_simple('destroy', array('Gtk','main_quit'));
$window->add($vbox = new GtkVBox());

// display title
$title = new GtkLabel("Rollover effect for buttons - Part 1");
$title->modify_font(new PangoFontDescription("Times New Roman Italic 10"));
$title->modify_fg(Gtk::STATE_NORMAL, GdkColor::parse("#0000ff"));
$title->set_size_request(-1, 40);
$vbox->pack_start($title, 0, 0);
$vbox->pack_start(new GtkLabel(), 0);

$vbox->pack_start($hbox = new GtkHBox(), 0);
setup_button($hbox, 'button 1');
setup_button($hbox, 'button 2');
setup_button($hbox, 'button 3');

$window->show_all();
Gtk::main();

function setup_button($container, $button_label) {
    $button = new GtkButton($button_label);
    $container->pack_start($button, 0);
