Color in GtkText

[Gert Scholten <gs2 dds nl>]

Hi,

I've got a problem and I /really/ can't find it ...
I've created a kinda parser to parse escape codes in a GtkText. Until recently
I didn't know how styles worked, so I was stuck with the standard (white)
GtkText BG. When I figured out I only had to set the
->style->base[GTK_STATE_NORMAL]  and the
->style->text[GTK_STATE_NORMAL]  for the standard FG and BG colors to be
switched. So this worked. The next thing was to let the user configure the
values of the colors. I created a list GdkColor *fgcolor[8] for the bg a
similar one.

The problem suddenly appears here. A "\e[0m" sets both FGcolor and BGcolor that
are passed to gtk_text_insert to NULL, so the default value will be used. The
wierdness comes with the BG colors. If I only have a BG color set, and the
FGcolor is set to NULL I get there errors:
---
Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkcolor.c: line 1115 (gdk_color_equal): assertion
`colorb != NULL' failed.
---
One for evry gtk_text_insert call. However, if I insert text with a FG color
/before/ any text with a BG color, the BG colors won't display anymore.
The arrors dissapear along with the BG color.

Then if I use a BG color simultaniously with a FG color it works fine ...

(all colors are properly allocated)

I'm really in the dark now ...

Anyone a idea ???
