Re: [Bug: 21.4.12] Toolbar glyphs don't use glyph faces

Michael> Do you mean "toolbars don't use faces" or "the glyphs Michael> that get drawn on toolbar buttons don't use faces"? Both, as far as I can tell. I don't really understand the code, but it looks to me like in 21.4 the toolbar code just ignores all face information, and calls the low-level code that draws glyphs directly without paying any attention to face information. Michael> Thanks, but I want to set different colors for different Michael> glpyhs on different toolbar buttons. I sorta suspected that, but thought I'd give the resource approach a try.:-/ Michael> (If you're curious, the action of clicking one of the Michael> buttons in my application is to change the color of text Michael> between point and mark in the buffer, so I want the text Michael> on the button to be the color that the region in the Michael> buffer will change when you click it.) Would you mind contributing the region-handling + toolbar code? I'm working on a toolbar utilities package in hopes of preventing GNU from forcing yet another gratuitously incompatible API on the 3rd party developers, and some eye-candy would help promote it. You can retain copyright or give it to the FSF, I don't care. (The API implementation will be contributed so that GNU can put it in Emacs, of course, but any toys don't have to be.) Michael> If this works in 21.5, though, I'll try using that Michael> instead! Give it a try, but I wouldn't bet on it. ISTR that's one of the things that doesn't work right in 21.5 (namely, the toolbar code uses the toolbar's face, and ignores glyph faces, or worse yet, it may use the default face). If you have some time to look at the code, I'll be happy to answer questions to the extent I can, but I still don't understand it that well. I think it was mostly written by Bill Perry <wmperry(a)xemacs.org&gt;.
