Hi, I'm a python newbie, coming from PHP & Perl. I'm developing client-server applications with a GUI. I'm trying to realize rollover buttons with images as background. I mean... I want to create a class which permit to create buttons with various shapes, (for instance something like this: O====O with a label and an image in the central part), that change their color/shapes when they have the focus on. I split the image of the shape into 3 parts: left, center (which have to resize with the label in the button) and right. I thought to Create an EventBox (with the callback function connected to it). Inside this EventBox I'd put a HBox with 3 elements: left image, another EventBox in the center, and the right image. The EventBox in the center should have the central part of the shape-image as background and the Label of the button (and evenually an icon).
Am I right?? I don't know if it's the right way... I didn't find anything on this topic on Google. Anyway if it's the right way... I don't know how: 1. To put the central image as background in the inner EventBox(does the background image behave like in html tables where it repeats itself until it fill all the available space?) 2. To change all the images to realize the rollover effect 3. Trying to add an EventBox to the main window I noticed that it's grey and it covers the background image of the window. If I realize the button using the EventBox I'd like to see the window background image outside the shape of the button... (I don't know if it's clear... :) ) thanx in advance.
