how to change the default background color for x windows

I am using uil to build the widgets. I compiled the below code using gcc 3.4.6 compiler. Launched x window in light gray color. How to change the default color of the window?

Code:

#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
#include <Mrm/MrmAppl.h>

void
main ( int argc, char **argv )
{
XtAppContext app_context;
Widget toplevel, hello_main;
Cardinal status;
static String uid_file_list[] = { "XTest" };
MrmHierarchy hierarchy;
MrmType class_code;

XtSetLanguageProc (NULL, NULL, NULL);
MrmInitialize();
toplevel = XtVaAppInitialize (&app_context, "Demos", NULL, 0, &argc, argv, NULL, NULL);
XtVaSetValues(toplevel, XmNbackground, "blue", NULL);
status = MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay (XtDisplay (toplevel), XtNumber (uid_file_list), uid_file_list, NULL, &hierarchy);
status = MrmFetchWidget (hierarchy, "MainForm", toplevel, &hello_main, &class_code);
MrmCloseHierarchy (hierarchy);
XtManageChild (hello_main);
XtRealizeWidget (toplevel);
XtAppMainLoop (app_context);
}

tk::tixwm

tixWm(3pm)						User Contributed Perl Documentation						tixWm(3pm)

NAME

       Tk::tixWm - Tix's addition to the standard TK wm command.

SYNOPSIS

	   $widget->wmCapture

	   $widget->wmRelease

DESCRIPTION

       The wmCapture and the wmRelease methods change the toplevel attribute of Tk widgets.

METHODS

       $widget->wmCapture
	   Converts the toplevel window specified by $widget into a non-toplevel widget. Normally this command is called to convert a Toplevel
	   widget into a Frame widget. The newly-converted frame widget is un-mapped from the screen. To make it appear inside its parent, you
	   must call a geometry manager (e.g. grid or pack) explictly.

       $widget->wmRelease
	   Makes the non-toplevel window specified by $widget into a toplevel widget. Normally this command is called to convert a Frame widget
	   into a Toplevel widget, but it can also be used on any non-toplevel widget (e.g, label). The newly-converted toplevel window is in a
	   withdrawn state. To make it appear on the screen, you must call deiconify after calling wmRelease.

	   Any data associated with $widget via wm methods (icon, protocol, command etc.) are released, and must be re-established if window is
	   later re-captured.

BUGS

       wmCapture does not exist in the Win32 window manager code.

       How these methods interact with perl/Tk's class hierarchy is not yet clear.  In particular a wmReleased window will not automatically
       ``inherit'' the Tk::Wm methods, however a wmCaptured window still will.	(A released Label might make a good candidate for an Icon.)
