Hi gurus and lurkers
I have searched both the FAQ and the list archives, but I haven't found
an answer to this question, so now I risk asking it myself.
The problem is: I would like to place widgets on top of an image.
I am making an app that is not going to look like a classic "GTK-app",
so in my case I am placing clickable pixmaps (eventboxes with images in
them instead of classic buttons) in a gtk.Fixed area. This seems to work
well for my purpose.
Now I would like to have a background picture that fits with the
buttons. I have limited GTK-knowledge but I assume that this would have
to be done in the gtk.Fixed widget (it's actually in a multipage
notebook with hidden tabs to facilitate changing the entire interface,
but I don't think that matters here).
Maybe if I install a handler for some "draw the gtk.Fixed widget" event
that somehow gets a drawable area and renders a bitmap on it before the
contained widgets are drawn? Or maybe there is some simple
gtk.Fixed.set_background_image() function that I just haven't been able
to find?
I hope I am making sense here...
What is the "right" way to do this? I am using Python, PyGTK, libglade
and Glade to do this.
I would really appreciate any advice you might have on this! :-)
Cheers!
/Morten
