Hi,
The propblem when using styles is that you really can't
guarantee that the colors you specify in your application will
be honored. For example, the Pixmap/Pixbuf engine simply stretches
some predefined image to the proper size...

I'd suggest writing your own widget for this case...

Oh, and while you could simply specify the default style for that
particurlar widget, the UI inconsistency would be annoying, to
say the least.
