Re: Widget borders in general

[Greg Breland <gbreland mozillanews org>]

I too am looking for a good border solution.  Widget boarders seem the
only weak part of GTK2 compared to Win32 as far as I can tell.  I wish
all widgets could have their boarders turned on and off, even widgets
that currently don't have boarders such as labels.  Label boarders is
what I want in particular.

Another boarder problem is that the border style doesn't seem to work. 
I am sure this is a theme/gtk theme engine problem, but it is annoying
that none of the themes/engines I have will render bevelin any different
than bevelout.

So any suggestions how I can have borders around all my labels?  I've
thought of just making them flat buttons.
