Hello, I want to change the background color of some check and radio buttons. My example program works fine for GTK_STATE_PRELIGHT and draws a green background rectangle. But in GTK_STATE_NORMAL most of the widget is still drawn with the default background color. I would like to get a red rectangle like the green one in PRELIGHT. I'm wondering why the background for these states behaves so different. I can get this filled background color in state NORMAL too (like the toggle button has) when I put my check and radio buttons inside event boxes and set those background color. But since it works in PRELIGHT, I guess that this should be somehow possible without the help of additional widgets. Does anybody know how?
