Hi, 
I use Perl and it was tough to figure that one out, because of the theme
engine, and the need to override it. If you use a pixmap based theme, it
is tenacious.

However, if you want a Perl clue on how to do it, see renegadex's reply
at the bottom of
 http://perlmonks.org?node_id=530061

the basics is to get the current style of the window, and reset the bg_pixmap

  my $back_pixbuf = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf->new_from_file($image); 
  my  ($pixmap,$mask) = $back_pixbuf->render_pixmap_and_mask(255); 
  my  $style = $window->get_style(); $style=$style->copy();                              
  $style->bg_pixmap("normal",$pixmap); $window->set_style($style);                   
    
it should be easy to convert to c.


Goodluck,
zentara
