Sets the base color for a widget in a particular state. All other style values are left untouched. The base color is the background color used along with the text color (see gtk_widget_modify_text()) for widgets such as #GtkEntry and #GtkTextView. See also gtk_widget_modify_style().
> Note that “no window” widgets (which have the %GTK_NO_WINDOW > flag set) draw on their parent container’s window and thus may > not draw any background themselves. This is the case for e.g. > #GtkLabel. > > To modify the background of such widgets, you have to set the > base color on their parent; if you want to set the background > of a rectangular area around a label, try placing the label in > a #GtkEventBox widget and setting the base color on that.
