Hello my application uses the appearence manager
and the new windows xp theme manager to draw widgets directly into pixmaps
without using what some would consider real controls. This enables us to port
our application easily between platforms and ensure that things like layering
(you can layer one control on another) work correctly. We wrote most of our
own widget display routines many years ago in low level X11 (not fun!),
However we are considering using GTK to add theme
support for Linux.
General questions - Will GTK work with most Linux themes out there? The only other
alternatives I know are Motif or QT.
Technical questions:
Is there anything like the appearence manager
APIs or a drawthemecheckbox call in GTK which would allow allow me to draw
widgets parts without maintaining the actual widgets in memory.
What the recommended way for drawing existing
widgets in memory directly into a specified area in an offscreen pixmap or
a window without showing the actual widget on screen?
Can anyone point me to a sample app which may help
me get started?
I'm looking for help on this project..(maybe even a
sample app which draws various controls at various states to a pixmap
or window) ..so if any experianced GTK/Linux programmers are
interested please respond to me off-list
