GtkStyle in CList...



 Folks,

   I'm trying to change the background colors in a CList widget, and
I don't seem to be having a lot of luck with it.  I want to color the
text white by default, and alternating rows in the CList either black
or 25% grey.  Certain cells may have the text colored bright green,
bright red, gold, or a light purple.  I have the following code that
is called during the application's initialization phase to create a
global array of styles for this purpose:

gint Create_CList_Styles()
    {
    gint n;
    GtkStyle *style;
    GdkColormap *cmap;
    GdkColor black,darkgrey,lightgrey,white;
    GdkColor brightred,brightgreen;
    GdkColor darkred,darkgreen;
    GdkColor purple,gold;
   
    cmap = gdk_colormap_get_system();
   
    gdk_color_parse( "ffffff", &white);
    gdk_colormap_alloc_color( cmap, &white, FALSE, TRUE );
   
    gdk_color_parse( "000000", &black );
    gdk_colormap_alloc_color( cmap, &black, FALSE, TRUE );
   
    gdk_color_parse( "404040", &darkgrey );
    gdk_colormap_alloc_color( cmap, &darkgrey, FALSE, TRUE );

...

    /* The default (black) display style. */

    MMStyle[BLACK_WHITE_DISPLAY_STYLE] = 
        gtk_style_copy( gtk_widget_get_default_style() );
    (MMStyle[BLACK_WHITE_DISPLAY_STYLE])->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL] = black;
    (MMStyle[BLACK_WHITE_DISPLAY_STYLE])->fg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL] = white;
    (MMStyle[BLACK_WHITE_DISPLAY_STYLE])->text[GTK_STATE_NORMAL] = white;

    /* The default (grey) display style. */

    MMStyle[GREY_WHITE_DISPLAY_STYLE] =
        gtk_style_copy( gtk_widget_get_default_style() );
    (MMStyle[GREY_WHITE_DISPLAY_STYLE])->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL] = darkgrey;
    (MMStyle[GREY_WHITE_DISPLAY_STYLE])->fg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL] = white;
    (MMStyle[GREY_WHITE_DISPLAY_STYLE])->text[GTK_STATE_NORMAL] = white;

...

    return(0);
    }

   So that's how I'm creating the styles.  Then the styles get used
in this fashion (at this point in the code, the CList has already
been created and filled in):

    for(i=0; i<MM->nsymbols; i++) {

        if( i%2 ) {
            gtk_clist_set_row_style( clist, i,
                MMStyle[GREY_WHITE_DISPLAY_STYLE] );
            }
        else {
            gtk_clist_set_row_style( clist, i,
                MMStyle[BLACK_WHITE_DISPLAY_STYLE] );
            }

        for(j=0; j<MM->nfields; j++) {
            /* Here is where we do the text coloring stuff. */

            if( MM->field[j] == CHANGE_FIELD ) {
                if( i%2 ) {
                    gtk_clist_set_cell_style( clist, i, j,
                        MMStyle[BLACK_GREEN_DISPLAY_STYLE] );
                    }
                else {
                    gtk_clist_set_cell_style( clist, i, j,
                        MMStyle[GREY_GREEN_DISPLAY_STYLE] );
                    }
                }
            else if( MM->field[j] == SYMBOL_FIELD ) {
                if( i%2 ) {
                    gtk_clist_set_cell_style( clist, i, j,
                        MMStyle[BLACK_PURPLE_DISPLAY_STYLE] );
                    }
                else {
                    gtk_clist_set_cell_style( clist, i, j,
                        MMStyle[GREY_PURPLE_DISPLAY_STYLE] );
                    }
                }
            }
        }


   The code *does* have some effect.  It appears to change the text
color, but not to the color it *should* be changed to.  Instead of
black, it is a dark blue.  The background remains white.  So, any
suggestions as to what's wrong here?

thanks,
