Description Owen Taylor 2001-03-06 00:30:58 UTC 
In some cases, people want to draw widgets within unfocused
toplevels in a different style than widgets within focused
toplevels. 

This is a style that first appeared in MacOS 8 and is has
been copied in other toolkits.

To add this to GTK+ would most cleanly done by adding an
extra state, INACTIVE. More details and alternate proposals
can be found in:

Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2001-03-06 01:32:31 UTC 
(Putting on 2.0 API, but high punt probability)
Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2001-06-05 19:40:54 UTC 
I don't like the idea of doing this without more extensive
GtkStateType changes, which aren't going to make GTK+-2.0
:-( or probably GTK+-2.x since they are heavily incompatible.
Comment 3 Javier Jardón (IRC: jjardon) 2011-01-04 13:50:15 UTC 
I think this was solved in GTK+3 with the new GtkStyleContext and GtkStateFlags enum.
