Re: round button

[Joost <joost h-labahn de>]

Hello,

you cannot - at least directly.

But perhaps one of the many engines for gtk has this
as an option. There are too few hints to these engines
in the documentation - i used gtk via pygtk (Python) for
two years in a midsize project never getting to any hint
to the engines.

Engines can provide new style attributes to be used in
rc-files (or -strings). Perhaps one or two of the many
engines around are providing round buttons.

Otherwise you could meditate about writing an own engine
respective modifying an existing one. At a first glance
at two or three examples their code looked comparitively
easy to me. This is a way to every possible shape of
widgets and gtk's redemption of the promise of high
quality UIs. The fixed border-width of 2 pixels could be
overcome so too for example (what gtk calls a "border" is
what the rest of the world calls a "margin").

Good luck, Joost Behrends
