Hi,

In the past several months I've worked occassionally with jgtk and can say that 
by now I have a much better understanding of how it works, and how to add 
functions based on online reference - managed to implement some DnD (thanks to 
Bill Lam for the guidance and tips).
However, right now I'm stuck on a seemingly simple task of coloring a button 
widget :)
I don't understand what the overall process in gtk should be for this.

>From what I could figure out it should be something like creating/assigning a 
>color and then using widget_override_background to color the widget:
1. gdk_color_parse 'Blue', mycolor

2. gtk_widget_override_background_color mybutton, 0, mycolor

but I'm sure I'm missing a big chunk of understanding for part 1...

I see that gdk_colormap_alloc_color is mentioned and 'allocating' a color, but 
don't know what that means - and if it's necessary, 
what are colormaps anyway, should they be used ? :)

Any guidance and/or and a simple working example from someone with a better 
understanding of this would be great.

Thanks,
Emir
