( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Is there any workaround for this problem?

As is says in the documentation: "-background => COLOR -- Defines the background color for the control. Note that not all controls support background and foreground colors."

For standard controls like Push Buttons, Radio Buttons etc. the buttons are drawn for you by system classes, using the colors and styles defined by the system pallete. This is all a part of the 'look&feel' of the interface that is applied right across the desktop and all applications. It allows users to configure the desktop to suit their preferences and requirements. Eg. a color blind person might ensure that the foregraound/background combinations are such that they don't exacerbate their particular handicap.

You could go the route of creating your own widget that acts like a button, but then you've the responsibility for doing all the drawing, and event processing which is a complex thing to tackle.

So the question to ask yourself is, are your users going to be impressed by you overriding their choice of control colors?


Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
