Tim: Thank you! That works beautifully! My app looks MUCH better now with a little color! Thanks a million! Now if I can figure out how to add space between columns, my data won't look so bunched up.

What you need to do is call gtk_tree_view_column_set_widget, passing in your own label that is set to display the column title. Once the label is shown and realized, call gtk_widget_get_parent three times, which should move up through a GtkAlignment and a GtkHBox to give you a GtkButton. This button is the column header. Calling gtk_widget_modify_bg on it will change the background colour of the column header. -- Tim Evans Applied Research Associates NZ http://www.aranz.com/ _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
