Re: adding transparency to Gtk widgets

[harshavardhanreddy mandeepala <hvreddy1110 gmail com>]

Hi Ce,

Thanks for your help.

It is working fine. Now i could able to display my application with
transparancy support.

But is there any way to add this into gtkrc file.

I mean some thing like
alpha =0.6

so that for all the applications the alpha value will be 0.6. and all the
applications will be transparent. so that explicitly we need not to supply
the alpha value programmatically.

I try to put
alpha = 0.6 in my gtkrc file inside style "default"  structure. But it is
not working.


If you can provide me some input inthis regard it will be helpful.



Thank you,

Regards,
Hvr
