Call a custom gtkrc-2.0 file at yad runtime?

[FFRR]

Hi

Have had a darn good search on this (on interweb) but can't find a solution that works. I know this is not strictly a yad problem, but I am hoping there is expertise here to advise me. 

I have a yad that needs a black background and faded orange on select of buttons.

I have successfully written the needed changes and added these to the standard gtkrc-2.0 file and it works, but affects other programs with the yad-dialog-window widget.

#makes dialog window black

style "yad-dialog-window" {

  bg[NORMAL] = "#000000"

}

widget "*yad-dialog-window" style "yad-dialog-window"

#makes button surround black and red when clicked

style "yad-form-button" {

  bg[NORMAL] = "#000000"

  bg[PRELIGHT] = "#000000"

  bg[ACTIVE] = shade(0.15,"orange")

}

widget "*yad-form-button" style "yad-form-button"

Want to only call the changes needed when I call the yad that needs the black background.

Have seen the way to do this is to use:

bash -c 'GTK2_RC_FILES=$HOME/custom.rc yad...'

but this doesn't work for me? Any help welcome :)

put your gtk settings to separate file and use --gtkrc option for
set/change settings only for one dialog

Brilliant- how did I miss that :)

Inititally my filename with settings was called .gtkrc-2.0-yad and this didn't work so renamed to gtkrc-yad and it did. Hidden file?

Many thanks Victor, and keep up the great work on this ever useful project :)
