[good] Re: [Gtk-sharp-list] simple button style change ...

Hi,

On both os you can find examples of resource files. do a search for 
gtkrc files and you should find a few. On windows you will find them 
under the directory where you installed GTK.

The best documentation is to be found on the gnome developer website. 
look at the api documentation.

of course it is all C code, but you should get the point.
The only problem is that the RC class is not fully ported yet. 
(depending on your version of gtk#, your success wil vary).

So if things do not seem to work for you, take a look at the custom 
files on svn.myrealbox.org to see what has been "ported".

Below are the examples you asked for. MAKE SURE TO GIVE YOUR WIDGET A 
NAME! that is how the styles are matched.

Here is a part of a resource file:

############
# Defaults #
############

style "Default_Style"
{
	font_name  = "Times new Roman 10"
	fg[NORMAL] = "#000000"

	bg_pixmap[NORMAL]      = "ice.png"
	bg_pixmap[ACTIVE]      = "cork.png"
	bg_pixmap[PRELIGHT]    = "camouflage.png"
	bg_pixmap[INSENSITIVE] = "purple_marble.png"

   engine "pixmap"
   {
   }

}

class "GtkWidget" style "Default_Style"

#widget "*" style "Default_Style"
#widget "DDD_Main_Window" style "Default_Style"
#widget "DDD_Main_Window.*" style "Default_Style"

##################
# Startup Dialog #
##################

style "Startup_Dialog_Title_Style"
{
	font_name  = "Times new Roman Bold 12"
	fg[NORMAL] = "#000000"

}
widget "*.Startup_Dialog_Title"	style "Startup_Dialog_Title_Style"



Here is an example parsing a string in your program:
Basically you just put the text you would put in the resource file in a 
string and then parse it. It's a lot less clear, but this way you can 
"hide" style settings.

Gtk.Rc.ParseString( "pixmap_path \"images\"\n"+
	"style \"Startup_Dialog_Style\" {\n"+
	"bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = \"startup.png\"\"\n"+
	"}\n"+
	"widget \"*Startup_Dialog\" style \"Startup_Dialog_Style\"");
