Re: [Vala] Gtk Custom widget: drawing with "gtk theme" colours

[JM <interflug1 gmx net>]

Hello
The following example extracts the Gdk.Color color from the widget's
style. 'this' is a Gtk.Widget in this example. 

Gtk.Style style;
style = Gtk.rc_get_style(this);
Gdk.Color color = style.base[Gtk.StateType.INSENSITIVE];
this.modify_base(Gtk.StateType.NORMAL, color);

Check the Gtk.Style. It contains all theme colors.
Regards
Jörn
