[maemo-developers] Gtk widget background, gradient, or image possible ?

[From: Markku Vire]

Hi,

The background of the toolbar itself can be changed, since GtkToolbar
calls the theme engine to paint the background. So, everything good at
this point.

The bad thing is that Maemo environment usually embeds the
toolbar into HildonWindow and the toolbar borders that you can see are
part of the HildonWindow theme. So, in order to theme the whole bottom
bar, you need an application specific theme that changes HildonWindow
and GtkToolbar themes. Of course this approach would work only with one
desktopwide theme at a time :(

Cheers,
