gtk.Entry Colors

[Tuomas]

I would like to manipulate PyGTK Entry widget's background and
foreground colors. Is it possible? How?

Yes, it is possible:

# widget color
entry.modify_base(gtk.STATE_NORMAL, gtk.gdk.color_parse("#FF0000"))
# frame color
entry.modify_bg(gtk.STATE_NORMAL, gtk.gdk.color_parse("#0000FF"))
# text color
entry.modify_text(gtk.STATE_NORMAL, gtk.gdk.color_parse("#00FF00"))

Thanks a lot.

Yes, I read the reference before posting here. I tried something like:

attr_list=pango.AttrList()
attr=pango.AttrForeground(0, 0, 65000, start_index=0, end_index=-1)
attr_list.insert(attr)
entry.get_layout().set_attributes(attr_list)

or

entry.window.set_background(gtk.gdk.color_parse("# 0000FF"))

but they did not work for this purpose.

Hi Tuomas,

I didn't mean to say that you hadn't read the docs (I had a hard time
finding the right methods in the docs too, even though I know the
methods); I just wanted to give you the references so you could see the
method signatures and the other gdk.Color options. :)

I didn't meant to blame you of blaming me either. I had worked with this
problem a couple of days and your advice helped me to solve it in ten
minutes. So I am very grateful.

Nice thing this Python :)
