Like Daniel mentioned, the background-image property overrides the
background-color. It's probably because of this, the API to override the
background color is deprecated.
Writing a simple custom CSS would solve your problem eternally. Also once
you get to know it, it's not that difficult.
Now technically you can create a CSSProvider and load a custom CSS directly
from a file (which is better since you can modify it without having to
rebuild your executable) then add the provider to the style context of a
particular widget. I would prefer to have it apply to the whole app because
then all your widgets will have uniform appearance.
May be you have already found a permanent solution. This is what I would
do, in case someone is still interested.

Call the *CMainWindow::LoadTheme()* with the path to your CSS file to load
it up.
