[maemo-developers] How can I change the background color of a GtkButton when it is activated

[From: Yao Wang]

Hi, Dave,

Thanks for your advice.

However, my objective is to set two different colors for two different
buttons. That is to say, for button A, when it is pressed, the color should
be red; while for button B, in this case, the color should be green.

Thus I do not think the GTK+ theme can solve this problem.
Is there any other possible solutions?

Thanks in advance.
