Ive came up with this:

Code:

Gdk::Cairo::set_source_pixmap(cr, get_style()->get_bg_pixmap(Gtk::STATE_NORMAL), 0.,0.);
cr->paint();

It does not work, my app shuts down. but people here can get an idea of what im after.

How do you paint standard button backgrounds? also like hover, mouse down etc.

thanks.
