Re: Different text style in menu and button possible?

["Karl H. Beckers" <karl h beckers gmx net>]

Hmm ... thanks for the hint, but that's not quite it,

(Note that I'm talking v. 1.2)

If I do:

style "my-menuitem" {
   fg[PRELIGHT] ="#ffffff"
}

and ...

class "GtkMenuItem" style "my-menu"

a menu that has sub-menus will have white arrows on mouse-over
and otherwise black ones. The text on the menu item will, however,
just stay black because that's the default fg  .... and apparently the
menu uses GtkLabels for drawing the text which in my case inherits
the default fg.

Now, if I do:

style "my-label" {
   fg[PRELIGHT] ="#ffffff"
}

class "GtkLabel" style "my-label"

it'll work OK for the menu, but the buttons also use the GtkLabel and
will have white fg on mouse-over .... which is smth. I don't want.

What I'd be looking for would be a way to have the label inherit A
from the menu container and B from the button .... possible?!?
