[Sugar-devel] Background Colors

[Art Hunkins]

I'd like to thanks all those here who helped me with my background color 
issue (i.e., trying to override Sugar's medium gray).

Though I managed to get various areas of the screen (including the whole 
display) in different colors, I never managed to put  content over the 
background (at this point Sugar always came back with its medium gray).

More importantly, however, in exploration of PyGTK, I happened across the 
set_use_markup() property (especially in conjunction with gtk.Frame and 
gtk.Label). Using this property allowed XML to give me bold, italics, 
underline, different font sizes - all of which achieved my goal of better 
contrast between text and background. This solution is better than different 
background colors, and requires hardly any additional code at all.

Once again, many thanks for your guidance. This community is really 
something!
