Each widget has an associates style object that can be manipulted. The basic method is get_style(), which RETURNS a GtkStyle object, and the associated set_style(style_object).

The style is shared between WIDGETS of the same type (XXX: is this true?). To change the style of only one widget in your application, the style object offers a copy() method, which returns a new copy of the GdkStyle, which can me changed and set_style() back to the desired widget.

All attributes of a style can be GET and set independently by direct access. The most IMPORTANT attributes of style are the colours (see FAQ 4.6):

• fg
• bg
• light
• dark
• mid
• text
• base
• black
• white

And the font and bg_pixmap attributes.
