[Glade-users] Want to set colors of widgets...

[friedrich_s crane navy mil (Friedrich Steven E CONT CNIN)]

Ok, I'm new to GTK, Gnome, and Glade, so please don't flame me.

We're developing a system that will include a maintenance application that
will allow a tech to exercise the system, etc.  We're attempting to use
Glade, Gnome, and GTK.  We want to be able to set the background color of
the main window (a gnome_app widget) to black.  I looked thru many tutorials
and various docs, and I can't find out how.  I saw a section about GTK rc
files, and attempted to use that, but it didn't work for me.

We specifically are NOT interested in creating an application with a
"universal" look and feel, though I understand the desire when making an app
for general distribution.  Our app is intended for a very small audience.

Any help or links would be appreciated...
