[Gnocl -the Tcl/Gtk Bindings] Difficulties Over Setting Rollover Tag Attributes. -SOLVED

[William J Giddings]

Setting individual rollover colours for tags seems a little more trouble some than I first imagined! After adding a whole pile of code that wasn't going anywhere it was time to rethink! Occam's Razor time. Whenever solution is becoming overly complex to the point that it begins to fail, then the solution is wrong. After a while I thought that if rollovers were implemented in Gtk2+ how would it be listed in the docs? Ah! Styles a little voice said behind me. But, as no such style exists (if it does let me know), it seems right to add two pseudo styles: "rollover-fg" and "rollover-bg". These can be set using the familiar:

gnocl::setStyles GtkTextView "rollover-bg" blue

What is needed now is to remove the earlier tag options to set these colours.
