### Method

# WebKit2 WebView set_background_color

since: 2.8

#### Declaration [src]

    void
    webkit_web_view_set_background_color (
      WebKitWebView* web_view,
      const GdkRGBA* rgba
    )

#### Description [src]

Sets the color that will be used to draw the `web_view` background.

Sets the color that will be used to draw the `web_view` background before the actual contents are rendered. Note that if the web page loaded in `web_view` specifies a background color, it will take precedence over the `rgba` color. By default the `web_view` background color is opaque white. Note that the parent window must have a RGBA visual and `GtkWidget:app-paintable` property set to `TRUE` for backgrounds colors to work.

    static void browser_window_set_background_color (BrowserWindow *window,
                                                     const GdkRGBA *rgba)
    {
        WebKitWebView *web_view;
        GdkScreen *screen = gtk_window_get_screen (GTK_WINDOW (window));
        GdkVisual *rgba_visual = gdk_screen_get_rgba_visual (screen);

        if (!rgba_visual)
             return;

        gtk_widget_set_visual (GTK_WIDGET (window), rgba_visual);
        gtk_widget_set_app_paintable (GTK_WIDGET (window), TRUE);

        web_view = browser_window_get_web_view (window);
        webkit_web_view_set_background_color (web_view, rgba);
