Re: Changing the progress bar color

["'Mike' Michal Palczewski" <mpalczew u washington edu>]

I've tried this and this works but not when there's an engine theme of
somesort.  In that case it's just a pixmap is there anyway to override the
engine. I tried this
        gtk_rc_parse_string("style \"none\" {}");
        gtk_rc_parse_string("class \"GtkProgressBar\" style \"none\"");
but that doesn't seem to work.
