[Glade-users] Changing the border colour of text entry box

[Ishan Chattopadhyaya]

Dear Duarte,

I would have used the following code:

{    GdkColor color =  {0, 65000, 0, 0}; /*{0, r, g, b };*/
        GtkRcStyle *rc_style = gtk_rc_style_new ();

        // Text insertion
        gtk_entry_set_text(GTK_ENTRY(entry1), "hello world");

        rc_style->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL] = color;
        rc_style->color_flags[GTK_STATE_NORMAL] |= GTK_RC_BG;
        gtk_widget_modify_style (entry1, rc_style);
        gtk_rc_style_unref (rc_style);

return 1;
}

Regds,
Ishan
