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,
