Gtk+ Python Entry Color

I'm trying to change the color of an entry gtk3 text. already searched everywhere and can not find a way. I think that is with an entry_buffer but I have no idea how to do it. for

Solution 1:

So there is this question How to make buttons different colours in Python GTK3 (using gi)? that you might find useful. One of the answers points to an article GTK+ 3 theme: style your applications that explains how you style gtk+ 3 applications in python. It looks like it's exactly what you need. The code below works on Ubuntu 12.04, I could not get it working on Ubuntu 11.04 so I assume you need a relatively recent version of these libraries to do this.

code

from gi.repositoryimportGtk, Gdkwindow = Gtk.Window()
window.connect("destroy", Gtk.main_quit)
screen = Gdk.Screen.get_default()
css_provider = Gtk.CssProvider()
css_provider.load_from_path('style.css')
priority = Gtk.STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_USER
context = Gtk.StyleContext()
context.add_provider_for_screen(screen, css_provider, priority)
entry = Gtk.Entry(text='Testing..')
window.add(entry)
window.show_all()
Gtk.main()

style.css

GtkEntry {
    color: red;
    background: blue;
}
