Hi Luiz, it's not always obvious which color changing method is appropriate to get the desired effect on a given type of widget. My experience is that you learn best what effect a gtk_widget_modify* function has when you systematically experiment with them. For example the gtk_widget_modify_bg does not always change the background color of a widget. Some widgets don't have their own window and for those widgets the background will be determined by the background of the parent widget. For your problem gtk_widget_modify_fg should do the trick.
