How do I specify a background color for both the menubar and the sub
menus?
GNOME 1.4, BrushedMetalClean theme
Today's Debian testing, 2003 Mar 20
Today's GNU Emacs CVS snapshot, Thu, 2003 Mar 20 20:18 UTC
GNU Emacs 21.3.50.235 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
configured with --with-x-toolkit=gtk
You wrote:
It is because this updates the X resource database. ... Please see
the Emacs manual, X Resources -> GTK resources for ways of doing
this.
Thank you! I have done that and am writing this message in an Emacs
configured with --with-x-toolkit=gtk in a window that looks OK,
although it is not what I set out to create.
(Incidentally, this instance of Emacs does not flicker, which you
suggested might be due to my having some older libraries.)
It turns out that in my ~/.gtkrc file I could specify a background for
the menubar, but not for the sub menus.
The "green" font color for the menubar was hard to read in the sub
menus, so I ended up commenting out the bg for the menubar.
Here is the ~/.gtkrc file after some experimenting (by the way, I
linked it to ~/.gtkrc-2.0, although that does not seem to matter):
style "menufont"
{
font_name = "times 20"
fg[NORMAL] = "green4"
fg[SELECTED] = "green3"
fg[ACTIVE] = "green2"
fg[PRELIGHT] = "green1"
}
widget "*menu*" style "menufont"
Note that no background is set; when it is set, it only effects the
menubar, not the sub menus.
Strangely enough, the following produces exactly the same results --
none of the `bg', background, colors have any effect on either the
menubar or the submenus, even though they are not commented out!
style "itemfont"
{
font_name = "times 20"
bg[NORMAL] = "DodgerBlue4"
bg[ACTIVE] = "DodgerBlue3"
bg[PRELIGHT] = "DodgerBlue2"
fg[NORMAL] = "green4"
fg[SELECTED] = "green3"
fg[ACTIVE] = "green2"
fg[PRELIGHT] = "green1"
}
widget "*item*" style "itemfont"
What should I do to create a "DodgerBlue4" background for *both* the
menubar and its submenus? (Then I will use "green", not "green4" for
fg[NORMAL]; that is what the Lucid toolkit permits me to do.)
