I haven't yet run it, but I see hard-coded colors for gradients. This isn't what

the design tries to achieve IIUC, nor my idea. I'm talking about a GTK compliant

widget, which uses the base colors by default and thus support theming.

(actually, I would quite like to make it customizable, and support gradient as

well, trough gtk rc styles).
For the default rendering of the blue part, using

GtkStyle.bg[GDK_STATE_SELECTED] seems to make sense since it renders to a color

(blue, brown, etc..) in many modern themes. However, in some other themes, it's

just another shade of gray.
Thorsten, did you think about this?
