Its something like bg[NORMAL]="./images/plain_bg_bot_toolbar.png"
Cant be exact as its been a long time but I proved to various groupes that it was possible on windows.

hi,

this seems not to work unfortunately.

Download a pixmap theme so you can see the basic syntax required to use an image for a certain widget.

note: You will not be able use a widget and change it's color to a gradient with a pixmap. You will need to redraw the entire widget. For example, if you wanted a button to have some gradient on it, you would need to redraw the entire button and use that with a pixmap engine.

Nope your right, its more like
bg[NORMAL]file ="./images/plain_bg_bot_toolbar.png"
How ever this is quite heavy stuff.
Try learning the basic of gtk themes first.
