Tim:

Thank you!  That works beautifully!  My app looks MUCH
better now with a little color!

Thanks a million!

Now if I can figure out how to add space between
columns, my data won't look so bunched up.

Thanks,

Mike Dailey

It is possible, just not particularly obvious.  What
you need to do is 
call gtk_tree_view_column_set_widget, passing in your
own label that is 
set to display the column title.  Once the label is
shown and realized, 
call gtk_widget_get_parent three times, which should
move up through a 
GtkAlignment and a GtkHBox to give you a GtkButton. 
This button is the 
column header.  Calling gtk_widget_modify_bg on it
will change the 
background colour of the column header.
