GTK+ Forums

Hi! I'm trying to change the foreground color of a GtkButton using themes, but label's color don't change...
My theme is like this one:

style "btnlbl" {

fg[NORMAL] = "#FFFFFF"
fg[PRELIGHT] = "#FFFFFF"
fg[ACTIVE] = "#FFFFFF"
fg[SELECTED] = "#FFFFFF"
fg[INSENSITIVE] = "#FFFFFF"
text[NORMAL] = "#FFFFFF"
text[PRELIGHT] = "#FFFFFF"
text[ACTIVE] = "#FFFFFF"
text[SELECTED] = "#FFFFFF"
text[INSENSITIVE] = "#FFFFFF"
}

widget_class "*.GtkButton.GtkLabel" style "btnlbl"

i already try other things like *GtkButton.*, GtkButton*, and fg, bg, text... parameters; and all the others combinations i can figure out. In the code i just call gtk_rc_parse() before create any widget... A weird thing is that: when i load a theme that use images (pixmap engine) button's label color turns to white! however there's any error in my "solution" hehehe.

i'm using gtk+-2.12.2.

Thanks for all!!!

Maybe like this:

widget_class "*.<GtkButton>.<GtkLabel>" style "btnlbl"

you could do it without an rc file with gtk_widget_modify_fg()
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unst ... -modify-fg
just make a GdkColor (not a pointer) and set it's attributes between 0 and (I believe) 65535 by doing a 'color.red = n' etc. (multiply your color value that you want by 255 or 256 to get something in this range)
then set the GtkStateType to whatever you want,
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unst ... kStateType
hope this helps...

it does not work for me :( i hav to use a theme, i'm doing this in my job :P anyway... i think that there is a bug in gtk parser when trying to match widget classes... since i don't hav time to look at this right now. i imagine other way to solve this:

1- encapsulate the button
2- put a label inside the button (as a container)
3- set a default name to these labels
4- in rc file i set this *name* to a specific theme.

what u think? i hope it works :D tomorrow i test it. anyway thanks for u both help _o/ it's strange to see that gtk has this bug or documentation is incomplete or i'm doing everything wrong :P

if anyone know how to use it by theme directly, please let me know :)

Thanks!!!

I imagine that you know about this, but in case you don't, this might help with the rc files...
