Hi,

I was trying to add on certain features to gnumeric by adding a component
to GNumeric source code itself. I was trying to use the following way to
set the color of a range of cells but it did not seem to set the color
at all although these statements are executed. If anyone knows what more
needs to be done let me know. Thanks.

        MStyle *style = mstyle_new ();
        StyleColor *color = style_color_new (1, 0, 0);
        mstyle_set_color (style, MSTYLE_COLOR_BACK, color);
        sheet_range_apply_style (sheet, Range *, style);

I can not easily comment on this because it is for an older version.
However, if you pass a valid range to sheet_range_apply_style (or
its modern counterpart sheet_apply_style) things should work.
A possible problem would be that you have not redrawn the canvas.
The new version handles this, I don't recall the behavior of the old
version. you can test by iconifying or scrolling the region.

You are aware that style_color_new (1,0,0) is basicly black ?

Either way I would reccomend you get more current source.

Good Luck
