Re: [gtkmm] How to use themes?

you do not need to explicitly set the style of the label. simply
setting its name should do the right thing.

in recent versions of XFree86 and GTK+1, i have found it necessary to
set the "fontset" specification for widgets as well as "font". i
typically set them to the same value.

i generally add labels to buttons, set the name of button, and then
use

widget "*ButtonName" button-style   # sets the button style
widget "*Buttonname*" button-style  # sets the style for all children
				    # of the button

you may wish to consider something similar.
