Sorry for my previous mail not going to the list!
My problem was that I have a button whose background I want to be such
that it displays the currently selected color and if clicked should
bring up a color selection dialog.

Currently I have the button with no label text. But if I do 
gtk_widget_modify_bg() on the button itself I just get a border of, say
red. The whole button does'nt get colored. Now I know that the button
contains a label so I got the label (via gtk_bin_get_child()) and tried
to set the bg on that - does'nt work.

I did read a FAQ entry mentioning that the label on a button is
transparent and so to change the bg color of a label I should set the bg
color of its container. But this does'nt seem to work.

Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I can get a button of one
color rather than just the border being colored

(I use Gtk2)

Thanks,
