The expected output with GtkLayout; this shows up with all other controls and layouts.

I first asked this question on Stack Overflow thinking it was a bug in GtkLayout itself: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22940588/how-do-i-really-make-a-gtk-3-gtklayout-transparent-draw-theme-background — now I am reporting it here.

When running the simple program at the bottom of my Stack Overflow question, I get the output in the first attachment (imgur: http://imgur.com/oo5zaJe) with the standard layouts and with GtkDrawingArea. This is sthe standard Oyxgen window background. However, with GtkLayout, I get the output in the seocnd attchment (imgur: http://imgur.com/5EG64vY), which shows a plain solid background, instead of the Oyxgen window background, which I expected. The CSS

GtkLayout {
  background-color: transparent;
}

alone will fix GtkLayout to show the standard Oxygen window background (I don't know if having one on GtkViewpoirt as well will be useful). I do not know if this happens with GTK+ 2, or how to fix it if it does.

Thanks.

Forgot to say that the CSS there was what the person who answered my quesiton suggested, rather than my own; it just happens to be the one that works.

Hi,
Thanks for reporting.
So to make sure I understand right, if you explicitly set gtklayout as transparent in your CSS, you get the background you expect. Correct ?
If so, I believe I am just missing this line in the oxygen-gtk3 defaults :)
Will add, hoping for no regressions in other applications.

PS: can you report the gtk3 version you are using ? 
these things tend to change a lot (sadly) from one gtk version to the other ...

Thanks for reporting, 

Hugo
