Hi,
sorry to bother you again with a question. I am trying to set the background
color of a
statusbar. I have found several postings in the net indicating that this is
just a matter
of adding the statusbar to an eventbox and setting the background color of that.
However ... that just doesn't work. The following code shows a statusbar and
for a fraction of
a second i even see it having a red background. But after that it returns to
its default
color and stays that way. What am i doing wrong?
Thanks,
Till
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
GtkWidget *statusbartest(void) {
GdkColor color;
gdk_color_parse("red", &color);
GtkWidget *eventbox = gtk_event_box_new();
GtkWidget *statusbar = gtk_statusbar_new();
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(eventbox), statusbar);
gtk_widget_modify_bg(eventbox, GTK_STATE_NORMAL, &color);
gtk_statusbar_push(GTK_STATUSBAR(statusbar),
gtk_statusbar_get_context_id(GTK_STATUSBAR(statusbar), "Msg"),
"This message is meant to have a red background");
return eventbox;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
GtkWidget *window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_window_set_default_size(GTK_WINDOW(window), 500, 50);
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), statusbartest());
g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(window), "destroy", G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit),
NULL);
gtk_widget_show_all(GTK_WIDGET(window));
gtk_main();
return 0;
}
