but how do I make the little 'selected' dotted line that appears around currently selected menu items, buttons, checkboxes etc more bold?
.. I'm trying to make a gtkdialog gui a bit easier on the eye when using only keyboard navigation (TAB to move around the GUI), but unless i move the cursor over certain elements, i only get the tiny dotted line to indicate which are current selected...
.. i think something similar has been done (even in akita, so i should know), but i cat find it... (i need it for gtkdialog anyway... )
.. Cheers..
EDIT: This is what I thought would work in the gtkrc my GUI is using... (It is what ROX uses to highlight using a semi-transparent rectangle in akita)...
Code: Select all
style "highlighter"
{
engine "pixmap"
{
image
{
function = FOCUS
file = "/root/puppy-reference/midi-icons/select.png"
border = { 6, 6, 6, 6 }
stretch = TRUE
}
}
}
widget "*Collection*" style "highlighter"
Open up any gtkdialog GUI with buttons or checkboxes, and press TAB a few times to highlight one of them .... You will (if your system is like mine) only see a tiny little dotted line, no real highlighting or anything ....
I REALLY wanna learn how to change the theme behaviour so full highlighting is given to TAB selected items, so they appear the same as when they are hlighted with the mouse (see screenshot):
Showing checkbox highlighted when the mouse cursor is hovering over it, and I tabbed onto it (so you see the dotted line as well):
... How can I achieve the same orange highlight effect by simply TAB-bing onto it, not using the mouse at all?? In a dark theme, the dotted line is invisible, and in a default theme its almost invisible...
