RE: [gtkmm] How to determine the background color of the Gtk::Ent ry

Thanks,
It works.
I still have problem getting the color of the window, for some reason I get
different gray inside the Entry, 
when gettingand using  the background color of the main window.

MyEntry->modify_base(Gtk::STATE_NORMAL,
MyWin->get_style()->get_background());

Is this themes issue ?

This works fine.

Gdk::Color colRed;
	colRed.set_rgb_p (1, 0, 0);

	YourEntry->modify_base(Gtk::STATE_NORMAL, colRed);

You wont need an event box for this :-))
