I've been working on a simple xrc based app for a while and have started testing it on a few different platforms, including Linux and Windows. Here is what I am seeing. Under Suse 10 (Python 2.4.1, wxPython 2.8.0), the windows all track the KDE theme just great. Under Mandrake 10.2, that is not the case. It doesn't track the theme at all. Under Windows XP, it appears to track OK as well.
My question is this. I have tried the wxWindow.SetThemeEnabled(true) function under Mandrake with no change in behavior. How is this theme support controlled in wxPython and how can I get the same behavior on all platforms?? Is there anything I need to do outside wxPython??
Oops! I forgot to include the python and wxPython versions I am using under Mandrake 10.2: Python 10.4, wxPython 2.5.3.
Thanks again
Jim

It really says "python 10.4" ? Odd.
Thanks again

Where did you get that?
Robin announced wxPython 2.6.2.1 two weeks ago...
Could you try the latest release of wxPython on Mandrake?
IIRC, theming support is relatively new in wxPython - maybe it just
wasn't ready in wxPython 2.5.3.

How do other GTK apps behave? If they look the same as your wxPython app then you are probably seeing the difference between the Qt and GTK themes. (Although I thought that by default Mandrake set a Qt and GTK theme that mostly match up with each other...)

Software Craftsman http://wxPython.org Java give you jitters? Relax with wxPython!
jeez. I know I'm not a good typist, but this is rediculus! My two-year old has been keeping us up late with the typical not-wanting-to-go-to-or-stay-in-bed syndrome - so I am a bit foggy.
Mandrake has Python 2.4 - duh! The Suse wxPython is also 2.5.3.
I'll try the latest releases - probably tomorrow or the next day. I am in need of some sleep!

I'll look into this, as well as loading the latest version of wxPython. I'm not as knowlegable about the KDE theme engine as I'd like to think. I'll be back in touch an a day or two.
