Don't change the default style.  Copy it to a newly allocated style, change
the background for the new style and then assign it to all your toggles
after they are created.  I don't think this can be done automatically (at
least not in the 1.0.x releases) so you'll have to manually switch to the
new style as you create each toggle.

Thats the theory.  I've not done anything like this yet, although I have
done a little work with styles for setting line drawing characteristics.
