GTK+ Forums

Hello,

I have implemented a GtkTreeView with my custom cell rendered.

Now, I would like to render the treeview items taking into account:
- the current widget state (disabled, selected, etc)
- the default font for widgets.

The colors and the font may change when a new theme is applied, for exemple. How can I retreive these values?

Notice that I use Cairo to render the item text, so I need to have a Cairo description of the default font...

Thank you

You can get the current widget state with GtkStateType. You can retrieve information about the default colors of the text for the state from the GtkTreeView's style at GTK_WIDGET(treeview)->style. This is a GtkStyle object.

As for the font, the style structure includes a PangoFontDescription member called font_desc. You can get information about the font such as style, size, and family from the font description. From this information, you can set the Cairo font. Check out: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/ ... Fonts.html
