You can get at this sort of stuff on X-Windows platforms via the RESOURCE_NAME
switch in the widget creation routines. There's an example in the docs under
WIDGET_BASE -> RESOURCE_NAME. (The feature also works in other widget
creation routines.)
There is a down-side to using this feature along with an 8-bit display
and a shared colormap (a common setup). The colours you request will be
reserved, leaving you with less for your graphics. (And quite a few
colours can be reserved, even if you modify just one background colour -
along with the background, new colours appear to be reserved for the widget
shading etc.)
