Re: GtkLabel Text Color

[Peter Krueger <pkrueger appss de>]

Hi Luiz,
it's not always obvious which color changing method is appropriate to get
the desired effect on a given type of widget. My experience is that you
learn best what effect a gtk_widget_modify* function has when you
systematically experiment with them. For example the gtk_widget_modify_bg
does not always change the background color of a widget. Some widgets
don't have their own window and for those widgets the background will be
determined by the background of the parent widget.
For your problem gtk_widget_modify_fg should do the trick.
