Yes, it was one of the references I came acoss while researching this
subject. It indicated using gtk_widget_modify_fg/bg(), but I only
got the fg to change for button&label. Could not get the entry text, or
background colors for label, entry, button to change.

As I stated before, if there is a better technique for gtk 2.0, please
modify the code and post.

Thanks,

Tony
