[wxPython] Multiline TxtCtrl won't take GTK default colors

Ahh, yes. I had this same problem. I mentioned it on this list and the c++ list and after a revision or two in wxWindows the release notes said that some theming problems had been fixed.

However I have 2.2.2 now and it still looks just as bad. The listctrl is another culprit as well. Since my app is primarily textctrl's and listctrl's I pretty much had to give up on matching the rest of the desktop with wxpython.

I have a number of TxtCtrl windows in an app I'm writing. When I specify a default
color for these windows, certain GTK themes will override the color I've specified
for the single-line TxtCtrls, but will default to 'white' for the multiline
TxtCtrls. this is somewhat annoying. Ideally, I'm trying to find a gtk theme that
will allow my app to be virtually transparent, but these big fat white multiline
TxtCtrl fields defeat the whole purpose. argh.

suggestions???

IIRC, the fix was in 2.2.3 of wxGTK. You should be able to use wxPython
2.2.2 with wxGTK 2.2.3 as there were no binary incompatibilities introduced
in that release. (If the RPMs don't work together then you should at least
be able to build each from source.)
