I've done this in Gtk2. I don't have my laptop and old code handy right now, but from memory: - create a label - set_markup() on the label, and set your colour(s) in there - use TreeViewColumn.set_widget() to override the default label If you can't get it working, post again and I'll go and dig out the old ( perl ) code that I used.
