Re: button background color in gtk3

[Giuseppe Penone <giuspen gmail com>]

Hi, I faced the same problem some time ago in gtkmm3.
I asked a question and then replied myself in this post:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8952679/gtkmm-3-button-background-color-change
You have to use a CSS file (a working example in my code) and import from
code
to override the gtk3 theme that you are using on your distribution.
Cheers,
Giuseppe.
