The problem is that im dealing with widgets created as part of html
content.  In this case, the look and feel of these widgets is going to
be dictated by html style.

So, yes, i need a way to change a widget's background (and probably
other states) without having to care about the widgets underlining
window structure.

Ill try the code and see...

thanks
