Re: [platform-swt-dev] Re: Re: How does one set the background on a Butt

If what Colin says is true about it inheriting the background colour from 
the parent, maybe a workaround would be to put the button in a parent 
Composite and set the colour on that?

Thanks for your input Colin.
 
For the interim I have implemented a rather notso-elegant solution by 
adding paintlistener to the button and then drawing a filled rectangle 
across the whole button, by setting the alpha of the colour to about .5 I 
achieve an affect that suits my needs well enough. This, however, does 
require an explicit redraw request on a selection event since, for some 
reason, the filled rectangle is removed whenever the button is pushed. 
 
In the meantime I am still hoping that there is a better way of doing 
this.
