Customization of the library
============================

Description
-----------

   Like other X-windows applications the GTK library provides a way for
the user and application programmer to change the colors of just about
any widget.  You can also specify what pixmap should be tiled onto the
background of some widgets. All this is handled through a similar
method as in the standard X-windows environment, through the use of
'rc' files. The format and functions available in these files is
discussed below.

Functions
---------

   The following functions are available to handle the rc files.

 - Function: void gtk_rc_parse (char *FILENAME)
     This function will parse the FILENAME that is passed to it as its
     argument. It will use the style settings for the widget types
     defined there.

 - Function: void gtk_rc_init (void)
     This function will initialize the rc file parser, normally this
     need not be called directly as the `gtk_rc_parse' function will
     handle this for you.
