Theming wxListCtrl
« on: May 21, 2010, 10:53:05 AM »

Hi, i'm using amule under linux and with the current GTK+ theme there's a visibility issue with the wxListCtrl in the Tranfers page.
Since the foreground text color is white and the background item color is light grey, it becomes hard to read the text while selecting the list item.
There's a way to theme it and change the color within gtkrc?

You are using 2.2.6?
This should be fixed in the SVN version.

That was my fix, wasn't it? We should probably backport it as a patch and post it somewhere.

Better get 2.3 released. There are more pressing issues than light text in strange themes.

This patch requires a newer wxWidgets which isn't available in debian stable.

http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/10089

I fixed it changing the background colour to wxSYS_COLOUR_BTNSHADOW

In my repo is a new enough wx-version that is tested to not make any problems on upgrading to the next stable.

Do you plan to release amd64 packages too? :-)

Only when someone donates the pkg's. I host everything usefull I get, but I don't fiddle around with crosscompiling. If you want to help, I can give you the needed instructions.

It's not that hard. Just take the diff.gz and orig.tar.gz from my repo, and save them in a folder. Then you call dpkg-source -x <diff-file>, remove the .diff-file, go into the newly created dir, open debian/changelog and put an entry on top of it, with a new version number (-2 or something). You can copy the last entry for keeping the right format. Then just run "dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot" (if you want to sign them yourself, omit -uc -uk, and set -k<key_id>". When all went fine, sent me the new.diff, .changes and the debs.

I thought you're talking about wx, but they work both the same way.
