GtkStyle

Description

GtkStyle is a structure that is used to define the colors displayed in any widget, or across an application. Being a GtkWidget property, it is accessible through all objects that take up screen space, using the syntax:

<?php $style = $widget->style; ?>

It is also possible to create a new GtkStyle object in the normal way, e.g.

<?php $style = &new GtkStyle(); ?>

or to take the default application style:

<?php $style = gtk::widget_get_default_style(); ?>

in order to change the style across an application.

Setting a style across an application can also be achieved by using rc files. There are two in the PHP-GTK test directory which are used in gtk.php.

The style functions are generally not buggy, the only known exception being where the text and base properties are intended to describe text and its normally-white background. In some cases this has not worked, and you may find that you need to use fg to color the text.

In all cases where the property type is given as array, what is being referred to is an array consisting of the five GtkStateType states.
