I have this small application for viewing select log data from a 
certain game that I originally wrote in C++/Qt. For various 
reasons, I decided to rewrite this app in D using gtk-d. First, I 
have to say that the documentation for gtk-d is atrocious! 
However, I managed to cobble together enough information to get 
80% of it done.

I would like to be able to controll how the cells in a TreeView 
are rendered (ie the text color used) but I'm not able to find 
any information about how to do this. Does any one have 
experience here? If so, can you please give me a clue?

Any information about using gio.Settings would be really

Hi Ivan,

I would recommend you to search for information about Gtk under 
valadoc pages [1]. You'll get Vala syntax but doing the 
mental-mapping to D+GtkD is automatic, i.e TreeView [2] and Glib 
Settings [3].

Thanks. I'll give it a look.

To change how a cell is rendered you will need to add a CellRenderer to 
the column, a CellRendererText would be used for rendering text and it 
has a foreground property to change the text color.

A small example on using CellRenderers can be found here: 
https://github.com/gtkd-developers/GtkD/blob/master/demos/gtkD/DemoMultiCellRenderer/DemoMultiCellRenderer.d

If the color needs to differ between the different rows you can use 
TreeViewColumn.addAttribute to map a property of an renderer to a value 
on the TreeModel.

If the color depends on the value of the cell 
TreeViewColumn.setCellDataFunc() is also an option.

Thanks. It looks like setCellDataFunc is what I need.

Since I wanted people to just be able to run the executable and 
not have to go through some install process, glib.Settings turned 
out to be a no-go since it requires a schema file to be installed 
in a specific place. Instead, I just create a json sidecar file 
next to the app in order to store settings.

I solved the TreeView text cooler l color issue by using markup.

The application code is in this repository of anyone is 
interested: https://github.com/Barugon/CotA
