Is there a system colors collection in GTK#?

Question

How can I get a multi-platform system colors collection in GTK# (like System.Drawing.SystemColors in .NET)?

I want an equivalent to System.Drawing.SystemColors.Control and System.Drawing.SystemColors.Highlight, ...

Answer 1

As far as I know there is no such thing in GTK.

In gtk every widget has a style associated to it. Many widgets may have the same style attached. Styles and their association to widgets are defined in theme or user's RC file.

You can find a little more information there:

• http://ometer.com/gtk-colors.html
• http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/gtk-Resource-Files.html

Edit: Ah, I forgot to add, that you can get a Style of any widget with the Style property on them. That way you can reuse its configuration on your own custom drawn control, if that is what you want to do.
