Two colors in one string

Hi I'm trying to do a GUI code using GTK in Ruby and I'm stuck trying to change the color of a String.

I would like the Welcome to be blue and the @name to be red but I can't seem to figure out a way to get both of them

@user = Gtk::Label.new("Welcome #{@name}")
css_user = Gtk::CssProvider.new
css_user.load(data: "label{color: blue;}")

If anybody could help I would be really greatful

Solution

  • I had to change a little bit the gtk display

    @box = Gtk::Box.new(:horizontal, 1)
@welcome = Gtk::Label.new("Welcome ")
@user = Gtk::Label.new(@usuari)
css_user = Gtk::CssProvider.new
css_user.load(data: "label{color: blue;}")
css_welcome = Gtk::CssProvider.new
css_welcome.load(data: "label{color: black;}")
@user.style_context.add_provider(css_user, Gtk::StyleProvider::PRIORITY_USER)
@welcome.style_context.add_provider(css_welcome, Gtk::StyleProvider::PRIORITY_USER)

    As you can see I created two labels (one for each color) and I placed them inside a Horizontal Box
