RE: GtkText invisible

[JParker coinstar com]

G'Day !

As an addum to my last post ...

Is there a widget to display large amounts of text without allowing user
interaction ?    For example a licence agreement (pop-up window) with an
"accept" and "decline" button.  You do not want the user to have tha ability to
modify the text in this case, but he must be able to read it.

cheers,

And as far as I am aware disabling a static text control in Windows
(i.e. making it insensitive) makes the text grey, not invisible.

Mac OS makes the text grey in the example I've seen, after a quick
look around.  I haven't tried to code it myself, though.
