[Gtk-sharp-list] How to Give a TreeView Row a Different Color?

[Andy York]

Jacek,

In Gtk it is not common to alter the row color as it is controlled by 
the currently installed theme. I have had minor success with altering 
the appearance of widgets without changing the theme but it has been a 
frustrating task to say the least. I'm sorry I don't have a solution 
that is useful enough to pass on but I thought you may want to know that 
it is not common to go against the theme so it can be aggravating. But I 
will say your on the right path, try browsing Banshee's source code they 
have done quite a bit with TreeViews.

I hope this is at least a little helpful.
