Re: background colors in apps

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

This is quite easy to do with rc files.  For GNOME applications, if the
application name is 'gnome-prog', then the rc file ~/.gnome/gnome-progrc
will be parsed on startup.  Also ~/.gtkrc will be parsed by all gtk apps
on startup (the ~/.gnome/gnome-progrc file would take precedence).

In these files, you could quite esily set the colour scheme with something
like this:
  style "default"
  {
    bg[NORMAL] = { 0.rr, 0.gg, 0.bb }
    bg[ACTIVE] = ...
    bg[PRELIGHT] = ...
    bg[SELECTED] = ...
    bg[INSENSITIVE] = ...
    fg[NORMAL] = ...
    ...
  }
  widget_class "*" style "default"

James.
