For those angsting about Saturday and what Steph has dictated you can and cannot wear, maybe this will clear some things up.

Black pants/jacket (e.g. a suit) are perfectly fine. But don't wear all black (e.g. suit and shirt), it's bad form (plus you'll look like a member of the wait staff).

White is right out. It's bad luck.

Red is out too. Stephanie will be wearing red, so you should not.

I apologise if this seriously reduces your wardrobe choices, but perhaps you can think of any required expansions as a positive contribution.

Hats and hairpieces are actively encouraged. Not enough people wear hats to weddings in Australia.

Following up from my recent post on the topic of accessing GTK+ theme colours. The reason it didn't work was actually quite simple (although I didn't find it documented anywhere). Colours from the theme are not set in a GtkStyle until that widget is realized, during a widget's initialization (or even when ::parent-set is triggered) a widget may not be realized. The correct thing to do is to get the colour when ::realize is triggered. Before ::realize happens, you will get the GTK+ default colours, not the theme colours you were really after.

P.S. It appears that someone was not a fan of my last blog post and is apparently of the opinion that I can't use my blog as a mass communication medium to a group of people that they're not a part of. To this person I say: I will write what I damn well please in my blog. Not every aspect of my life revolves around a computer or the programming thereof, and thus if I want to write about music, politics, the sexuality of penguins in New York, my life, radioactive metals I have previously misplaced or weddings, I will. If you don't want to read it here is a solution.
