Background Color!!

[jalqadir netscape net]

Hi folks!

I'd like to add background color to a VBox, but I am a bit confused about how to go about it.

This is what I'd like to do

 ---snip---

 Gtk::VBox* boxBase;

 Gdk::Color bgColor("red");

 Gdk::Colormap* map;

 map->alloc_color();

 boxBase         = Gtk::manage(new Gtk::VBox());

 boxBose->modify_bg(Gtk::STATE_NORMAL, bgColor);

 ---end---

Needless to say, this does not work!

After a little bit or reading I found that the 'string' passed to Gtk::Color must be one described in a file called 'rgb.txt', but I could not find this file.

I'd appreciate if someone here could give me a breathing and living example.

 

TIA
