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

[ted leslie]

arggh......

ok i simply ran my app on a different system
and it worked with the styles through the rcgtk and parsestring (in app)

i run a kde on suse 9.2 and determined that NO gtk based app
is doing sqwat with the style specs. (or themes for that matter)
yet i put a gnome on another X screen and run the
gtk#/mono apps all if fine,

on a redhat installed machine  i got it to run on gnome and kde desktops just fine,

i have a stock 9.2 suse, i dunno why its doing this, but screw it,
i will upgrade to suse 9.3 with full installed components for both desktops
(maybe even give gnome a try) and hopefully this issue will be
behind me.

I will give an update as to whether i can change styles
on widgets other then rc or parsestring methods,
to concur if in fact there is a bug with the direct widget manipulation
of styles.
