Custom Theme for a gtk app?

[earobinson]

I'm playing with pygtk and I want to write an app that has a black background, buttons, etc and white text. Is there any way to do this at all? (can I set the color for each button manually or can I set the theme for the whole app?)

Cheers.

To set the gtk theme for the entire application:

settings = gtk.settings_get_default()
settings.set_property("gtk-theme-name",gtk_theme_name)

Cheers, Ill test this as soon as I have the chance.

Hum It did not seem to work, any idea why

gtk_settings = gtk.settings_get_default()
gtk_settings.set_property('gtk-theme-name', 'UbuntuStudio')
would not work?
