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

[From: Benoît HERVIER]

Hum, in fact i already don't use a real Gtk Toolbar as i don't like
the hildon toolbar ... :) so i  make my own with a bit of gtk.Button,
gtk.Frame, gtk.Alignment, Vbox and HBox and some piece of gtk.Image
and gtk Label in the button container...

So theming by touching rc ... will make things for all other widgets ...

No other way to put gradient in bg instead of a sample color ?

ps : And no, setting 256 frame which have their own color isn't a
solution for a gradient :)
