Right now I am trying to change the background color of a org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Button with the following code:

    Button sceneButton = new Button(border, SWT.TOGGLE | SWT.FLAT);  
    sceneButton.setBackground(Color.RED);

This works fine when I run the program in Solaris, but does nothing when I run the code in Windows. Is this possible? If not, is there some kind of workaround that would allow me to change the background color (even if the “color” is an image) while still displaying text in the button? Thanks!
