Re: [gtkmm] widget coloring and (some) themes...

["B.Hakvoort" <bart hakvoort be>]

hmm, no responses sofar..
To clearify the problem i've created a small testcase. The program shows
a window of 150x150 with inside it an eventbox with a yellow
backgroundcolor.

Try changing your desktop theme to Crux or SmokeyBlue and see the color
disappear.

Then start working on a solution and send it to me asap :-P

cheers,

Bart
