Problem
In the article How to change the font of some rows or columns in treeview? I shared with you how specify "default font" in a treeview.
However, that method only works when you change the font to a different font, and want to change it back to the default font.
Suppose you only want to change the foreground color of some of the rows. You want the rest of the rows to use the default foreground color. You will find that the method described in How to change the font of some rows or columns in treeview? will not work in this case.
In this example, I'll show you how to specify the "default foreground color" in a treeview.
Solution
- To appreciate this 'trick', I would encourage you to try this example as an exercise. All rows will use the default foreground color (which is black), except row 1, which uses blue (#0000ff).
- For row 1, use $cell->set_property('foreground', '#0000ff') to set the foreground color (i.e. the text color) to blue.
- Use
$cell->set_property( 'foreground-set', 1)
to enable foreground color. Note: this property is not described in the PHP-GTK2 official documentation yet. - Use
$cell->set_property( 'foreground-set', 0)
to use the default foreground color.

Output
As shown above.
Explanation
- Set row 1 to blue.
- Enable the foreground color.
- Set all other rows to default foreground color.
