Method

GtkWidgetmodify_bg

Declaration [src]

void
gtk_widget_modify_bg (
  GtkWidget* widget,
  GtkStateType state,
  const GdkColor* color
)

Description [src]

Sets the background color for a widget in a particular state.

All other style values are left untouched. See also gtk_widget_modify_style().

Note that “no window” widgets (which have the GTK_NO_WINDOW flag set) draw on their parent container’s window and thus may not draw any background themselves. This is the case for e.g. GtkLabel.

To modify the background of such widgets, you have to set the background color on their parent; if you want to set the background of a rectangular area around a label, try placing the label in a GtkEventBox widget and setting the background color on that.

Deprecated since:	3.0
Use `gtk_widget_override_background_color()` instead.

Parameters

`state`	`GtkStateType`
	The state for which to set the background color.
`color`	`GdkColor`
	The color to assign (does not need to be allocated), or `NULL` to undo the effect of previous calls to of gtk_widget_modify_bg().
	The argument can be `NULL`.
	The data is owned by the caller of the function.
