First, I also posted this at launchpad, but so far mine is the only question there. If this is the wrong place to post a question -- if it should be a bug request or somplace else, please just let me know and we'll nix this post.

I've been searching for a way to change the radiocheck color for... far too long now. I'm no great shakes with themes, but can edit a gtkrc file just fine. In the past, I was always able to edit the radiocheck to make the background color always white and the check/tick text always dark. For some themes, I just prefer not to have the radiocheck tinted (vision issues, it's easier for me to see that way).

Here's where I'm running into a problem:

In some murrine-based themes, like DarkRoom, I'm able to change the radiocheck color with the following parameters (from the DarkRoom gtkrc):

style "murrine-radiocheck" = "murrine-default"
{
base[NORMAL] = @fg_color
bg[SELECTED] = @fg_color
text[NORMAL] = @bg_color # Text in window
text[PRELIGHT] = @bg_color # Text on Mouseover

engine "murrine"
{
}
}

I've been trying to alter the murrine-based Human gtkrc in Ubuntu to achieve the same effect, so my radiocheck buttons aren't orange, or grey, or blue, or however I edit my theme. The Human gtkrc parameters are:

style "murrine-radiocheck" = "murrine-default"
{
text[NORMAL] = shade (3.15, @bg_color)
text[PRELIGHT] = @selected_fg_color
}

I've tried changing/adding base[NORMAL], bg[SELECTED], adding the engine "murrine" parameter, and even adding every single parameter from murrine-default and setting them all to "#ffffff" or a light-colored @bg_color.

No matter what I've tried, on two different machines, even after restarting X, the Human radiocheck buttons remain exactly the same background color. I've managed to change the text color, but nothing else.

I know I'm missing something here, but I've searched on and off for weeks, and can't find any info. Any suggestions?

Again, my apologies if this is the wrong place to post the question. If there is any documentation that can help a dabbler become a little more facile with the various settings, I'd love to see it.
