Access to colors has also changed a bit. With #GtkStyle, the common
way to access colors is:
<informalexample><programlisting>
GdkColor *color1;
GdkColor color2;
color1 = &amp;style->bg[GTK_STATE_PRELIGHT];
gtk_style_lookup_color (style, "focus_color", &amp;color2);
</programlisting></informalexample>
With #GtkStyleContext, you generally use #GdkRGBA instead of #GdkColor
and the code looks like this:
<informalexample><programlisting>
GdkRGBA *color1;
GdkRGBA color2;
gtk_style_context_get (context, GTK_STATE_FLAG_PRELIGHT,
"background-color", &amp;color1,
NULL);
gtk_style_context_lookup_color (context, "focus_color", &amp;color2);
...
gdk_rgba_free (color1);
</programlisting></informalexample>
Note that the memory handling here is different: gtk_style_context_get()
expects the address of a GdkRGBA* and returns a newly allocated struct,
gtk_style_context_lookup_color() expects the address of an existing
struct, and fills it.

It is worth mentioning that the new file format does not support
custom keybindings nor stock icon mappings as the RC format did.
