Hi,<br><br>I am sorry for not replying the letter soon. Thanks for all the advice and suggestions you have given me. They are very helpful. Eventually I have learned how to changed the appearance of a widget in an application using gtkrc file and some nice pictures. In my code, I just called gtk_rc_add_default_file() the parse the rc file. I usually call the function before any widget should be created or shown, say the very beginning of my code. But sometimes the rc file would not be loaded without any exception feedback to console. I have no idea on how to handle the situation. Does any one have the same problem?<br>
