Can someone help me understand why toolbar.SetBackgroundColour(“orange”) isn’t working for me?

Thanks, Mike

Hi,

Using Arch Linux by the way.

I don't think GTK toolbar (any toolbar, for that matter) supports
changing the background
colour.
Try wxAuiToolbar as it is a custom control.

Thank you.

I once encountered a similar issue.
If I recall correctly, the reason is that the definition of the color differs between Windows versions.
Then depending on what Windows version you are using and the definition RGB definition of the color in wxPython, it may or may not display correctly.
I searched the Windows definition of the color, then used the RGB version rather than ‘orange’.

Blue Flash.

Hope that helps
