adding transparency to Gtk widgets

[harshavardhanreddy mandeepala]

Hi,
Is there any way to make Gtk widgets transparent.

By using Murrine theme engine and little modifications to  my gtk
application i could do.

In my application I added the following lines

For my main window/widget i did the fallowing( as per Cimi's update).

/***
screen = gtk_widget_get_screen (totem->win);
colormap = gdk_screen_get_rgba_colormap (screen);

if (colormap)
gtk_widget_set_default_colormap (colormap);
**/

It's working fine.

But If I don't use murrine theme engine the effect(transparancy/glassy) will
not be seen.

I don't want to use murrine theme engine. Instead i want to modify in Gtk
library.

Is there any update on this.


Thanks in advance.


Regards,
HVR

Hi Ce,

Thanks for your help.

It is working fine. Now i could able to display my application with
transparancy support.

But is there any way to add this into gtkrc file.

I mean some thing like
alpha =0.6

so that for all the applications the alpha value will be 0.6. and all the
applications will be transparent. so that explicitly we need not to supply
the alpha value programmatically.

I try to put
alpha = 0.6 in my gtkrc file inside style "default"  structure. But it is
not working.


If you can provide me some input inthis regard it will be helpful.



Thank you,

Regards,
Hvr
