GTK# is some sort of wrapper around GTK. How exactly it behaves 
will, I suppose, depend on the GTK version. In current GTK 3, the 
APIs that used to do things such as changing the background color of 
widgets have been disabled: they're still present, but they don't 
actually do anything any more. You now have to use CSS or low-level 
cairo (graphics library) operations to do this sort of thing. Maybe 
GTK# will catch up with these changes at some point.
