How do I draw a rectangular border around a Gtk Label? Also, is there
any way to set the background colour on an individual widget?
FWIW the answers are
1. Enclose it in a Gtk::Frame (at least, that's the best I could come up
with)
2. Gtk::Widget#modify_bg(state, colour)
(From Geoff Youngs on the ruby-gnome2 mailing list:
ISTR that this only works for widgets which actually have a background
window, otherwise you'll need to wrap the widget in a Gtk::EventBox,
which does.
e.g.
col = Gdk::Color.parse("red")
label = Gtk::Label.new("Warning")
eb = Gtk::EventBox.new()
eb.add(label)
eb.modify_bg(Gtk::STATE_NORMAL, col)
)
