Description Owen Taylor 2001-01-03 17:16:15 UTC 
There needs to be a mechanism to set certain properties
for widgets in the widget's style. The way that this
will work is that it will be possible to associate
a GParamSpec with a widget class and settings with a 
GtkRcStyle

 style "foo" {
   scrollbar_width = 10;
 }

and then the widget (GtkScrollbar here) can then query
for the value of the setting for the style:

 gtk_widget_get_style_properties (widget, "scrollbar_width", &width, NULL);

Put all GTK 1.3.x bugs on 2.0.0 milestone

Setting API-affecting bugs to the API freeze milestone
Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2001-02-03 17:57:46 UTC 
Bumping up priority; I think this bug should be done before a lot of
the other API bugs, because there are a lot of "add style setting foo"
bugs that should also be done. e.g. the scrollbar width, various
timeouts, x/y thickness, etc. and all those block on this bug. Also,
we need this bug fixed before we can port the Raleigh theme to HEAD as
the default look. Finally, fixing this would let some make a good go
at making a really nice Windows emulation theme, and they should try
to do that while it's still possible to add new style properties, in
case they need to add settings to get more Windows-like appearance.
So, tons of stuff blocking on this issue.

Now in CVS. (Exact set of style properties requires fine-tuning)
