I too would discourage it in almost all cases but there are legitimate uses in specialist applications.
• you can either provide a fragment of CSS to style the widget yourself • you can override the GtkWidget::draw signal, and paint the color yourself using CairoBut I don't know what CSS would replace gtk_widget_override_background_color() for a GtkTextView. If I use "background-color: #whatever" then only the background of the content's text is colored, not the background of the whole area.what does "the whole area" mean, in this context? the text view may have some margin, which does not get painted with the background color, as per CSS spec. if you want to paint the area beneath the margin, you'll have to draw on the parent widget, not on the GtkTextView.
These screenshots show the difference. Additionally, on the obviously-wrong one, the text wrapping also changes during every mouse over. However, while getting these screenshots I noticed that the change is caused by different GTK+ versions, regardless of what API I use. I'll try to narrow down what caused the change and file a bug.
