Hi,
I'm not sure *exactly* what your desired result is, but there may be a
couple of options:
You have tried widget_label but it doesn't give the coloring you want.
Could Widget_Text work instead? Choosing Editable=1 or Editable=0 (the
default) gives different appearance, perhaps one of these will work.
In Windows, the colors that IDL uses for widgets are all controlled by
your Display Properties control panel (Settings -> Control Panel ->
Display, or right-click your desktop and click Properties) under the
Appearance tab. A color "scheme" is a collection of all the colors used
for widget parts. Perhaps you can change one of these to suit your need?
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

Yes, almost all roads leading to "color" end in disappointment. :-)

David,
Unfortunatly I'm using Windows, so the only thing I can do is to realize a
widget draw as final widget, with dimensions exactly like widget base group
leader and background color (ERASE procedure) as I want.
This solution is right for the widget button and widget draw realized on the
base, but for widget label background color is always the default one
(sigh!!!)
That's all,
Valerio

In general, it is not possible to do this from within IDL.
If you are running on a UNIX machine, however, you might
try fiddling with the RESOURCE_NAME keyword and X11 resources.
You might be able to get something like this to work.
Cheers,
David
