Therefore, it is(currently) a List.
Hi Evan, an easy way to do this is to put each GtkLabel widget into a GtkEventBox. This makes each one have a separate window, so you can set the background colour for each one in the way you'd set any background colour (you could specify the colours in a .gtkrc file, for example). On the downside, this will be rather slow for large lists, but maybe that's not a problem.
