I'm working on a project at work, and writing the user interface in gtk. The specifications for the program include that it look like the previous generation program. Therefore, the software has to have black background. Gtk seems to REALLY want grey backgrounds. I've tried playing around with my .gtkrc file, but can only get some of the fields to turn black. A lot of times I can get the foreground color to change, but not the background color. I've seen hints that some widgets (like labels) don't have a background color and that you have to change the background on the parent. However, I can't seem to find anything that documents which characteristics: fg, bg, base, text are active on which widgets. Since I've now spent about two weeks on something that should have taken me about two hours, I'm in a bit of trouble, and would greatly appreciate some pointers to documentation. I tried doing a test program of just some of the plotting features that I'm trying to implement, and while gtk_gc_set_foreground() works just fine, gtk_gc_set_background has no apparent effect.
