test case for entry/label (1.57 KB, text/x-csrc)

Description Christian Hergert 2017-04-06 04:13:53 UTC 
When setting a PangoAttrList to the GtkEntry:attributes property, which contains a foreground alpha attr, no change is made.

I would expect that pango_attr_foreground_alpha_new(0x7fff) to result in gray text.
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2017-04-06 12:24:45 UTC 
Do you have a testcase ?
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2017-04-06 12:33:34 UTC 
And is this specifically entries breaking ? what about labels or text view ?

test case for entry/label

Label doesn't do what I'd expect either.

Perhaps you must explicitly set a foreground color to be able to use pango_attr_foreground_alpha_new()? That would be rather unfortunate API, but not exactly surprising if it where the case.
Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2017-04-07 16:43:29 UTC 
It seems that your hunch is correct: adding a foreground attribute makes it work
