Take care not to create a christmas-tree.
Buttons and other widgets should inherit their properties from the OS-settings.

Oh one more problem, now i can change color but i cannot see the label on it.
Example: i have button with name as SORT,once i change the color using iconic property it will not show the label on button,i know iconic property is only for icons, but any alternate way to change the color of the button.

Perhaps I'm missing something here, but - why don't you simply open push button's Property Palette, go to Color node and set "Foreground Color" and "Background Color" properties to desired values?

Or, if you insist on modifying its color programatically, why not directly change background and foreground colors?

set_item_property('push_button6', background_color, 'r255g0b0');
set_item_property('push_button6', foreground_color, 'r0g255b0');

Note that colors must reference RGB values.

Or, create visual attribute and apply it to the button:

set_item_property('push_button6', visual_attribute, 'va');

All of these options will modify button background color and text (label) color. How do I know? I've tested the right now.

Basically, it is extremely difficult to fail to do that; I can't imagine what might have gone wrong.

Probabaly problem with my forms builder.

I tried a sample example , a form(forms 6i) with a button(push_button6) on canvas:

And the below code in when new form instance:

set_item_property('push_button6', background_color, 'r255g0b0');
set_item_property('push_button6', foreground_color, 'r0g255b0');

It did not work. Sad

Again i tried with Visual Attribute :

set_item_property('push_button6', visual_attribute, 'VA');

NO LUCK!

if it works fine for you, then may be problem with my forms
