Hi Martin,

yes, I like to use whenever possible a dark background instead of white.
In open office for instance we can set a default background and
default text color, which will be used if the document doesn't specify
one. But maybe this is not an important feature for most users.

I see that in the c header file there is a set_property method but it
is not implemented in python. This set_property method would be used
to change properties of the widget or of the document?
