How to set the color of a text, or a label.

Hi, in this gladevcp window:

i need to change something into the 'Tensione - kg' field, or into its label.
The best thing should be change the background color of the text, but also the label's background should be ok.

what i tried is:
self.builder.get_object('label9').background_color = "#ffff00000000"

but it doesn't work. Maybe my fault in something, but can someone tell me if it's right or not?

Thanks, Davide.

oh, maybe it has something to deal with this: faq.pygtk.org/index.py?req=show&file=faq07.005.htp

gonna give this a try.

Yes, it works...

..but as much as i can only for labels. i couldn't with an entry.

what type of widget is the 'Entry' you are referring to?

-m

gtkEntry. that one in the snapshot.

my fault. gtkEntry doesn't need to sit into an EventBox... Sorry!
and with that you have to use 'base' and 'text' color, instead of 'bg' and 'fg'

your artists are a tad overweight

-m

yes, in my simulation i hung fat women!
'till now, in the thruth i cannot hung anything over 15kg dealing with motor power, but still i miss security brakes (waiting for funds to grow..), so i'm limited again to just half a kg!!

Tchuss!
