Question

I trying to set separate style for particular widgets, like for one button with different style and another one with other style. this style will be specified in gtkrc file. I tried following stuff but it did not work.

In gtkrc file:
    style "my-style" 
    {
         engine "pixmap"
         {
              ...
         }
         ...
    }
    class "my_widget" style "my-style"

And while creating widget i have given the widget name specified in gtkrc file.

In code:

       button = gtk_button_new();
       gtk_widget_set_name( button, "my_widget");
       gtk_widget_show( button );

but this stuff is not working out i am not able to see given style to that particular widget. Is this a right way of doing this? what is worn in it?

Thanks,
PP.

No, it is not right: you must read the documentation, particulary the Pathnames and patterns section.

It is not an option if you plan to use resource files seriously…
