It is funny that currently many people try to change default colors of
GTK widgets. Of course generally that is not a good idea -- common sense
is to give users their default styles. Of course, for special
applications that may be OK. For tree view headers, I can remember that
I tried to chance something style related, and it worked after I added a
custom label widget as header text. See
