a simple color question

[zentara <zentara zentara net>]

Hi, I'm finding that setting up colors in Gtk2 is
not that simple, and the docs are sending me in
circles. :-)

For example in the following script,
how to I set the "active hightlight color" of the blue
button, i.e. when the mouse is over it?

A second question is how can I change the fill color
of the "control frame"?  There is a hbox in the frame,
but changing the hbox color does nothing.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Glib qw/TRUE FALSE/;
use Gtk2 '-init';

my $window = Gtk2::Window->new('toplevel');
$window->set_title('Z');
$window ->signal_connect( 'destroy' => \&delete_event );
$window ->signal_connect( 'delete-event' => \&delete_event );
$window->set_border_width(10);
$window->set_size_request(300,200);

my $vbox = Gtk2::VBox->new( FALSE, 6 );
$window->add($vbox);
$vbox->set_border_width(2);

my $hbox= Gtk2::HBox->new( FALSE, 6 );
$vbox->pack_end($hbox,FALSE,FALSE,0);
$hbox->set_border_width(2);

my $frame0 = Gtk2::Frame->new('Controls');
$vbox->pack_end( $frame0, FALSE, FALSE, 0 );
$frame0->set_border_width(3);

my $hbox0 = Gtk2::HBox->new( FALSE, 6 );
$frame0->add($hbox0);
$hbox0->set_border_width(3);

my $button = Gtk2::Button->new_from_stock('gtk-quit');
$hbox0->pack_end( $button, FALSE, FALSE, 0 );
$button->signal_connect( clicked => \&delete_event );

my $button1 = Gtk2::Button->new('Color-test');
$hbox0->pack_end( $button1, FALSE, FALSE, 0 );
$button1->signal_connect( clicked => sub{ print chr(07); });

my $red = Gtk2::Gdk::Color->new (0xFFFF,0,0);
my $green = Gtk2::Gdk::Color->new (0,0xFFFF,0);
my $blue = Gtk2::Gdk::Color->new (0,0,0xFFFF);
my $blue1 = Gtk2::Gdk::Color->new (0,0xCCCC,0xFFFF);

$window->modify_bg ('normal', $green);
$hbox0->modify_bg ('normal', $red);
$frame0->modify_bg ('normal', $red);

$button1->modify_bg ('normal', $blue1);
$button1->modify_bg ('selected', $blue);

$window->show_all();
Gtk2->main;
#####################################
sub delete_event {
Gtk2->main_quit;
return FALSE;
}

__END__
