[Gtk-sharp-list] Changing the background color of button

[Paulo Augusto]

You seem to be using a Gtk.EventBox, adding to it a label and then
trying to change the colour of the event box.
I don't know much of Gtk but i doubt that that is suposed to work... The
event box is just used to get events, not for showing. So, you can
change the colour of the EventBox that it will never show. Maybe you
should be trying instead to change the colour of the label which is
inside the EventBox and is what's really showing.


About buttons, i know i'm using:
Gtk.Button.ModifyFg (...);

And it changes the colour of the button. Maybe you should try instead to
use a button like i am. Unless you reallt want to mess around with
labels and event boxes.
