Re: gtk_widget_set_style() and themes

[Omar Barneto <obarneto hasar com>]

Thank you Vlad. The problem is as follows: I change the color for two states in
only one button. The rest of the buttons remain with their original theme
appearance. I would like that this button keeps its original appearance for the
other states, but instead it seems that  all the states of the button get the
colors changed. Those states for which I did not set the color apparently get
default colors. The theme dissapears in all the states. It looks like in the
sequence get_syle - modify style - set_style the theme is lost (but only in this
button). The question is how to avoid this and keep the original theme, at least
for the states for which I do not set new colors?

Best regards,

Omar.
