Re: style modifications for GtkEntry and GtkScrolledWindow

[Peter Krueger <pkrueger appss de>]

Hello,
I've found the origin of the additional frame: it belongs to the
GtkViewport that was created by gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport().
I could remove it with gtk_viewport_set_shadow_type().
But I'm still wondering what is the "official" way to change the style of
a scrolled window and its scrollbars. Directly accessing
scrolledWindow->hscrollbar and scrolledWindow->vscrollbar works for me,
but I think this is illegal since these are not public fields of
GtkScrolledWindow. So how should it be done correctly?

Nobody has an idea how to change the cursor color in GtkEntry?

Regards...Peter
