Hi All,
I've got an app I have put together that I am testing under several
different environments, primarily Mandrake, Suse, and Windows. All three
platforms are running wxPython 2.6. The problem I am having is this: not
all of my color settings are being show under Suse. Specifically, my
button foreground color and my panel background. The colors that are
specifically set in my .xrc file are being shown with the default color
(it appears) instead. The colors I have set for static text is K - it's
just those darn buttons and panel backgrounds! Everything is just fine
under Mandrake and Windows.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jim

Eric, Guido,

I tried all the tricks and couldn't get it to work on Suse (KDE). Works
under Mandrake KDE. Interesting thing is that on Mandrake, the wx buttons
don't take on the characteristics of the KDE style in effect, while on
Suse they do. So it must have something to do with the KDE styles like
Guido mentioned earlier.

Looks like I'm going to head for bitmap buttons instead.

I am still having problems with the background colors on my panels. I'm
wondering if it is the same problem with KDE styles?

Thanks for your help. I'll keep trying . . .

Jim

Tried it on S.u.S.E 9.3. Works on gnome, fails on kde. I couldn't get it
to
work on kde. Tried SetThemeEnabled(False), tried
SetBackgroundStyle(wx.BG_STYLE_CLUR) nothing worked. Sorry, I think
you cannot
do it on kde. :-(((

Eric,

I tried it and it does work, however I can't ask any potential users to
modify their systems in such a manner that they might not support other
things they need.

It's interesting that QT is affecting how wx works . . . sound familiar? .

Nevermind,

remove the gtk-qt-engine package and it works.

Eric,

I just tried removing the two environment variables within my python
source files. Didn't work. I had to remove them from my shell before I
executed my python script. Any idea why mine won't work?

This was under Suse as a guest to VMWare.

Thanks

Jim

I think you should do it not only for
SuSE. I think that these variables are
standard gnome/gtk variables and if you
want to be sure to disable the users theme
you should remove them for all distributions.

Hi Eric,

I'm running SuSE 9.3 (under VMWare). I had already done what you said,
and the environment variables are indeed being removed. I had moved my
logic all the way up the application - up to just after the wxApp
initialization. I don't know why I didn't try ahead of the wxApp
initialization. I moved it up before the wxApp call - and viola! Works
great!

Thanks again for your help.

Jim

Hey Jim,

What version of SuSE are you running? I have tried this on 9.3 and 10,
but then again I have a heavily modified version of both.

1) Go to Idle and see if the platform module returns what it is suppose
to, or put a print statement and see if the os.environ stuff is actually
being done.

2) Try taking out the SuSE specific stuff and make the lines look like:
if platform.system() == 'Linux':
del os.environ['GTK_RC_FILES']
del os.environ['GTK2_RC_FILES']

3) This must be done before you initialize you wx.App. , all
the windows are already drawn by the time you remove the environment
variable. (At least that was my experience.)

We know that if you remove the environment variables before you start
your script it works, so at least we have gotten that far.

No problem, but thank Toni for the initial information.
