Hello,
why does this code not work?
        RGBA rgb = new RGBA(1,0.5,0.5,1.0);
        Button btn_1 = new Button("Start");
        btn_1.overrideBackgroundColor(StateFlags.NORMAL, rgb);

The color of btn_1 just doesn't change.

Thanks for your reply, i now tried to use CSS instead:

import std.stdio;
import std.file;
import gtk.Main;
import gtk.MainWindow;
import gtk.CssProvider;
import gtk.Button;
import gdk.Display;
import gdk.Screen;
import gtk.StyleContext;

class Window : MainWindow{
    this(int width, int height, string title){
        super(title);
        setDefaultSize(width, height);
        Button btn = new Button("Test");
        btn.setName("CssName");

        string cssPath = "test.css";

        CssProvider provider = new CssProvider();
        provider.loadFromPath(cssPath);

        Display display = Display.getDefault();
        Screen screen = display.getDefaultScreen();
        StyleContext.addProviderForScreen(screen, provider, 
GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_APPLICATION);

        add(btn);
        showAll();
    }
}

void main(string[] args){
    writeln(getcwd());
    Main.init(args);
    auto win = new Window(250,250,"Tutorial");
    Main.run();
}

This is my CSS:
GtkWindow{
        background-color:blue;
}
#CssName{
        -GtkWidget-focus-line-width:0;
        background-color:green;
        color:green;
}

The text color is green but the button background color is still 
default-gray!
I am also wondering how it is possible to change the button color 
at runtime? In my opinion i don't think that CSS-based style has 
alot of advantages over the commonly used object functions.
