[Gtk-sharp-list] Background image

[Anset]

Hi,

I had the same problem some time ago.

Settig a background should be done with the widget Style object. There 
is a bgpixmap (or something like that, cannot check now) that you should 
use.

However, gtksharp apparantly does not work that way (yet).

The only way I found that actually works is using the RC class.

Either use a gtkrc resource file or use the Rc.Parse function to parse a 
resource sting.

More info on the Rc class can be found on the gnomedeveloper pages. (gtk 
api).

I posted some examples to this list a couple of days ago.

wkr,

Anset
