OK. I understand you are doing some sort of embedded UI, so that maube makes sense, but can I just say "Eww, yuck!" at this point anyway...! ;-) > Now, > if I edit an input field I deactivate all the other widgets. > This works > fine.

For reasons that might not be at all obvious from the outside, the check button is actually drawn by Fl_Light_Button.cxx (Fl_Check_Button is a subclass of Fl_Light_Button) and so that code draws the check box, at or around line 60 of the file Fl_Light_Button.cxx. Now, here we see that the box colour is hard-coded as FL_BACKGROUND2_COLOR and there is no mechanism exposed to over-ride that. So... I guess your options are: - Try and over-ride FL_BACKGROUND2_COLOR and see if that works, or - cut'n'paste the code from Fl_Light_Button.cxx and use that to derive your own check-button class that *does* allow the box colour to be tweaked. That latter is more work of course (but probably not much more work) and should allow you to set any box colour you fancy.
