Actually, I had tried that, but there is yet another tricky bit.  The 
toggle gets re-drawn with the new color, but then get immediately drawn 
again in "prelight" mode.

Is there anything that defines the color conventions for the drawing 
modes?  For example, "prelight" is normally lighter than "normal", but 
how do "active" and "selected" relate?

This type indicates the current state of a widget; the state determines
how the widget is drawn. The GtkStateType enumeration is also used to
identify different colors in a GtkStyle for drawing, so states can be
used for subparts of a widget as well as entire widgets.

GTK_STATE_NORMAL
State during normal operation.

GTK_STATE_ACTIVE
State of a currently active widget,
such as a depressed button.

GTK_STATE_PRELIGHT
State indicating that the mouse
pointer is over the widget and the
widget will respond to mouse clicks.

GTK_STATE_SELECTED
State of a selected item, such the
selected row in a list.

GTK_STATE_INSENSITIVE
State indicating that the widget is
unresponsive to user actions.


Use widget.modify_bg(state, color), eg:

button.modify_bg(gtk.STATE_ACTIVE, gtk.gdk.color_parse("#00ff00"))

[pygtk] Setting "pushed" color for a toggle

[Dan Christian]

I'd like to change the color of a ToggleButton when it is pushed in: 
preferably the background color, but the text color would work too.

I would guess that you can do this by setting the right color for the 
right state.  However, I can't find any documention about what state 
applies when.  This is probably obvious to the experts, but it needs a 
lot more discussion for a beginner like me.  For example, how is 
"active" different from "selected"?  What state is a toggle in when it 
is "pressed"?

Even worse, I don't know when to change with the button itself and when 
to change the label that displays the text (it's child).

I've tried everything that seemed obvious with no success.

Desperately seeking documentation.
