fdvUhm. I have an issue.. I have a PickerButton that opens a TouchSelector. Since the selector is somewhat long, I'm caching the last options used (which would be the most frequently used ones) in a row of plain buttons. Now, there is little that separates the PickerButton from the 'cache buttons', so I was thinking I should give it a different color. This is pretty hard, as afaics, recoloring is not supported, and my first option would be to create ...19:26
fdv... a gtkrc file with graphics to accompany the app. This is, however, somewhat sub-optimal, as the user would not be able to (in a simple way) have the app display consistently in different themes (unless I theme everything, which again would lock down the UI in a way that probably wouldn't fit all). So, I was wondering if anybody knows any better options, like a specific button type to use or other alternatives that I might not have ...19:26
fdv... considered...19:26
fdvsorry about the long post19:26
mikhasfdv, cant you take one of the osso-logical-colors?19:46
mikhas/etc/hildon/theme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc19:47
fdvmikhas: that does sound good, but how? I'm not allowed to set the color of the button, and it uses a pixmap anyway, so it'd be a bit bland19:48
fdvI wouldn't really mind the latter, if I could only set the color19:49

fdvafaics, the Sapwood style excplicitly states that it doesn't support recoloring19:49
mikhaswhat about creating a pixmap using logical colors? just guessing here =)20:00
mikhasoh, you already said it would be bland then ...20:00
fdvmikhas: well, yes, and I've already been advised to make a simple gtkrc for the app and supply my own images20:05
fdvI guess I'd accomplish about the same with that20:05
fdvI just think it's a slightly bad solution, as it would be very tied to the given theme that way20:05
fdvsince if somebody at some point would start using a different theme, I guess they just might not fit that well20:06
fdvif I could make my own pixmap, maybe that would solve that issue, though20:07
fdvwhether it's bland is a secondary issue, really20:07
