Emacs with Gtk - monochrome toolbar icons

Emacs with Gtk - monochrome toolbar icons

[Klaus Falb]

I've downloaded and compiled Emacs from CVS with the GTK toolkit.
Everything works fine, but the toolbar icons are monochrome. Can I tweak
Emacs to use the standard GTK icons in the toolbar?

You'll need to install the xpm headers and library, then reconfigure
and recompile Emacs with xpm support.

Sounds like you passed the --without-toolkit-scroll-bars option to
configure.  (Or perhaps that is the default?)

Use --with-toolkit-scroll-bars on the configure line.

(But run ./configure --help to be sure I spelled it correctly.)

NB the gtk bars do not give the same functionality as emacs' native
   bars (which are based on the Athena Widgits' bars' functionality)
   but instead work like the bars in any other gtk app.
