docs: Clarify replacement for gtk_style_context_get_background_color()
It seems odd that a getter function for the style context state is replaced by a rendering call, but it makes sense in context.
This commit is contained in:
@ -3246,6 +3246,15 @@ gtk_style_context_get_color (GtkStyleContext *context,

*
|

* Gets the background color for a given state.
|

*
|

* This function is far less useful than it seems, and it should not be used in
|
||||
* newly written code. CSS has no concept of "background color", as a background
|

* can be an image, or a gradient, or any other pattern including solid colors.
|

*
|
||||
* The only reason why you would call gtk_style_context_get_background_color() is
|
||||
* to use the returned value to draw the background with it; the correct way to
|
||||
* achieve this result is to use gtk_render_background() instead, along with CSS
|
||||
* style classes to modify the color to be rendered.
|

* Since: 3.0

|
||||
* Deprecated: 3.16: Use gtk_render_background() instead.
