Re: ignore gtk theme

[Erik Simonsen <erik pinksheets com>]

Creating a separate rc file and parsing wit with gtk_rc_parse() will not
ignore the current theme.  It will add to the theme, overwriting any
shared attributes.  The old rc file will "show through" for any
attributes that weren't defined in the new rc file.  For example, if
both your new rc file and the old one define graphical radio buttons,
all your radio buttons will look like the the new rc file, since it was
parsed after the first.  However, if the second rc file didn't define a
[PRELIGHT] pixbuf, but the system default rc file did, the button will
change appearance and look like the default radio button.  You have to
be completely thourough and overwrite every property that could be
defined in the system default rc.  It ends up being very messy.
