GtkComboBox styling woes

[mickey@…]

I can't seem to get the text color in the GtkComboBox? to be gray.
Also, the GtkComboBox? separator looks odd and it doesn't seem to be a way to
remove it programmatically nor via gtkrc. We might want to patch Gtk+ to remove it?

I find that the text color in GtkComboBox? has been defined in gtkrc.
style "moko-window-default" {
...

text[NORMAL] = "#666666" # mid grey
text[PRELIGHT] = "#ffffff" # white
text[ACTIVE] = "#e5e5e5" # light grey
text[SELECTED] = "#ffffff" # white
text[INSENSITIVE] = "#223344" # dark grey

...
}
If you want to change the color,please redefine GtkLabel? styling on
GtkComboBox?.

"GtkComboBox? separator",do you mean the wide orange line at the bottom?

The text colour in GtkComboBox? is unfortunately controlled by the base[] and
text[] colours. This is because it is based on GtkCellRenderer? and there is a
bug report about it in GTK+: ​http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382646

As far as I know, the vertical line on the combobox (between the label and the
little arrow) is drawn using a VLINE operation, so you should simply be able to
replace it with a blank image to get rid of it.

This gtkrc snippet seems to do the trick of setting the combobox text color to
white:

style "gtkcombobox"
{

text[NORMAL] = "#fff"

}
widget "*.GtkComboBox?.*" style "gtkcombobox"

I have committed my suggested change to gtkcombobox to fix the text colour.

Thanks Thomas, that worked fine.

Next problem: The text on the Popup-Menu is not light grey as it's supposed to
be -- but black instead. Any idea for that as well?

[ken_zhao@…]

I have committed some changes on "gtkmenuitem-label" to fix Popup-Menu text
color.

[laforge@…]

has this been fixed now?

Please check if this is still an issue with our new UI (OM-2007.2) and report
