I Tried the below code, the color is not reflected, Am i missing something?

#add description box beside test cases
    testCaseDescWindow = gtk.ScrolledWindow()
    testCaseDescWindow.set_policy(gtk.POLICY_AUTOMATIC, gtk.POLICY_AUTOMATIC)
    testCaseDescWindow.get_vscrollbar().modify_fg(gtk.STATE_NORMAL,gtk.gdk.color_parse('#40515F'))
    testCaseDescWindow.get_hscrollbar().modify_fg(gtk.STATE_NORMAL,gtk.gdk.color_parse('#40515F'))

The modify_fg() method sets the foreground color to the widget(scrollbar in your case only in the specified state i.e. STATE_NORMAL) what is the version you are using, any more information would be useful.

You are setting the foreground color which GtkScrollbar probably does not use.

You could try to use GtkCssProvider and check which property is the correct to modify (see http://worldofgnome.org/making-gtk3-themes-part-2-the-gtk-css-and-gtk-widgets-css-files/ for list of properties)

Determining whether a glyph is available in Tkinter?

I have a Tkinter app that can optionally label some buttons with certain Unicode glyphs that aren't always available (depending on the OS, etc.).

When they aren't available, Tkinter renders them as "uNNNN". What I'd like to do is check whether the glyphs are available, and fall back to my own alternate text for the button if not. Can I do this?

I'd also like to do the same in pygtk.
