Hi Michael,
Thanks for the quick response. This works perfectly when setting the bg
color of the window, however if you attempt to do a myTable.modifyBg()
it fails. Or a box container of any sort.
Any ideas what items I can apply styles to?
Thanks

http://ometer.com/gtk-colors.html has some useful info.
It can sometimes be tricky to determine where a widget is getting its
colour choice from, whether it's using Fg, Base, or Bg, and which
state it's using.
It's made harder when some widgets simply defer to the background of
the widgets behind them. Tthis is the case with containers' borders.
Try the following code:
using System;
using Gtk;
class WindowTester {
static void Main ()
{
Application.Init ();
Window window = new Window ("This is a window");
window.DeleteEvent += delegate {Application.Quit ();};
window.SetDefaultSize (200, 200);
Table tab = new Table (2, 2, true);
window.Add (tab);
tab.BorderWidth = 10;
tab.Attach (new Button ("One"), 0, 1, 0, 1);
tab.Attach (new Button ("Two"), 0, 1, 1, 2);
tab.Attach (new Button ("Three"), 1, 2, 0, 2);
window.ModifyBg (StateType.Normal, new Gdk.Color(255, 0, 0));
window.ShowAll ();
Application.Run ();
}
}
Hope this helps,
Michael Hutchinson
