Hello Douglas,
I never tried with a progress bar, but I made the experience that it is
not always intuitive to decide which gtk_widget_modify_* function does
what you want for a given type of widget. Simply try the different
functions and also try a different state, if none of them should work
as you want with GTK_STATE_NORMAL.

Regards,
                 Peter
