Question

I want to make the background of a textview widget black and the foreground white.

Been trying the .modify_bg and .modify_fg methods, but none affect the way this thing looks.

Can anyone suggest anything or is this just not possible?

Answer 1

Use gtk.Widget.modify_text and gtk.Widget.modify_base instead of fg and bg.

Answer 2

I resolved some similar manipulating the gtk rcstyles:

widget.set_name( mywidget )

# Set mywidget internal style.
gtk.rc_parse_string( 
    style "mywidget"

    {

        attribute1 = value1

        attribute2 = value2

    }

    widget "*.mywidget" style "mywidget" )

See gtk.rcstyle at:

bg[state] = color (Sets the color used for the background of most widgets.)
