gtkWidgetModifyBase {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gtkWidgetModifyBase

### Description

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 `gtkWidgetModifyText`) for widgets such as `GtkEntry` and `GtkTextView`. See also `gtkWidgetModifyStyle`.

### Usage

    gtkWidgetModifyBase(object, state, color = NULL)

### Arguments

``object`` | a `GtkWidget`
``state`` | the state for which to set the base color
``color`` | the color to assign (does not need to be allocated), or `NULL` to undo the effect of previous calls to of `gtkWidgetModifyBase`. [ allow-none ]

### Details

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.
