Hi
Thanks to your rather complete test report, I'm beginning the understand the
problem.
One that I've figured out is that g_object_set is used a lot to tweak colors
and this call requires a string returned by gdk_rgba_to_string().
This requires to convert 'rgb(x,y.z)' strings to GdkRGBA and then to convert
in an hexa string.
E.g, in header-pane.cc render_score(), this gives good results:
GdkRGBA fg_rgba ;
GdkRGBA bg_rgba ;
g_assert(gdk_rgba_parse(&fg_rgba, fg.c_str()));
g_assert(gdk_rgba_parse(&bg_rgba, bg.c_str()));
g_object_set (renderer, "text", buf,
"foreground", gdk_rgba_to_string(&fg_rgba),
"background", gdk_rgba_to_string(&bg_rgba),
nullptr);
g_object_set also accepts foreground-rgba parameters, but I could not make it
work.
I think there are other problems to convert the output of color picker widget
to GdkRGBa values. I'll check this out.
All the best
