Re: [gtk-list] Re: GtkText and GdkFont

[Chuck Mason <chuckjr sundial net>]

Well, thanks a lot .. I guess I should also give a tip: make sure you set
the styles before you call gtk_widget_show(), otherwise the styles dont
take effect :)

Thanks for the help,

%Chuck - I had the same problem, and this sorta worked as a solution
%(also let me change the bg color of the text which was causing problems
%too).  What I found works is that you should create the text box early,
%as one of the first widgets, apply the style with
%gtk_widget_set_style(), then do another gtk_widget_set_style(window,
%gtk_style_new());  which worked for me:
