Re: colors and tool buttons/menu items

[Marisa DeMeglio <marisa dinf ne jp>]

Thanks for the tip.  The one thing I still can't do is set the 
foreground (text) color on a tool button -

//mpCurrentWidget is a tool button widget pointer
//mFgColor is a GdkColor and is definitely valid
GtkWidget* labelwidget =  gtk_bin_get_child(GTK_BIN(mpCurrentWidget));
gtk_widget_modify_fg (labelwidget, GTK_STATE_NORMAL, &mFgColor);

This works well on menu items but has no effect on tool buttons.  Both 
widget types that I am testing with were created from stock, and have 
text and an image.  I also tried just a plain tool button with only 
text.   Do you think there's something special I have to for tool buttons?

Thanks
Marisa
