Hi,
What's the correct procedure for scraping colors from widgets? So far I've been relatively successful with: 1) building the widget 2) adding the widget to a toplevel window 3) getting the widget style context 4) getting the colors from such style context (without (2) I was getting wrong results) For example (in Python): widget = Gtk.TextView() window = Gtk.Window(type=Gtk.WindowType.TOPLEVEL) window.add(widget) stylecontext = widget.get_style_context() bg = stylecontext.get_background_color(Gtk.StateFlags.NORMAL) However, this is not working for the High Contrast themes. If I execute this code in one of those, I get (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0) as the background color. Since the alpha is 0.0, at first I thought this was because those themes somehow set the GtkTextView bg color as "whatever is the window color", which makes sense. However, if I replace GtkTextView by a GtkEntry, the code correctly returns (1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0) for HighContrast and (0.0, 0.0, 0.2, 1.0) for HighContrastInverse. I peeked at the HighContrast css and found no explicitly setting for GtkEntry. So why is the code working for GtkEntry and not for GtkTextView?
