Color hinting for custom colours in GtkTreeView

[Thomas Canty <tommydal optushome com au>]

Hi,

I want to be able to set colors for columns in the GtkTreeView, and have
the color hinting turned on for that color (A.K.A Nautilus list view)

Unfortunately the only way i can see of doing that with the current API
is to sub-class GtkTreeView and re-write the expose function to allow
this to be done. I don't particularly like this solution :)

(GtkCellRenderer's have no information about the colour hinting so it
can't be done there)

I was wondering if there were any suggestions of a nicer way to
accomplish this with GtkTreeView?

thanks,

Thomas
