Re: Set the background color in GTK1

[Kevin DeKorte <kdekorte yahoo com>]

Peter,

Didn't seem to do it

I do this to get the style

        style = gtk_style_copy(gtk_widget_get_style(gtkwidget));
        color.red = style->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL].red;
        color.green = style->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL].green;
        color.blue = style->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL].blue;
        black.red = 0;
        black.green = 0;
        black.blue = 0;    

This to set the color

            style->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL].red = black.red;
            style->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL].green = black.green;
            style->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL].blue = black.blue;
            gtk_widget_set_style(gtkwidget,style);
            gtk_widget_ensure_style(gtkwidget);

And this to restore it

            style->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL].red = color.red;
            style->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL].green = color.green;
            style->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL].blue = color.blue;
            
            gtk_widget_set_style(gtkwidget,style);
            gtk_widget_ensure_style(gtkwidget);

And the background color always stays the default grey.
