Shoes toolket

I have been trying to write a few programs with shoes.
I am wondering if there is a way to change the background from within
a button.

  I have tried something like the following but it does not work.

Shoes.app 'change' do
  
  button 'quit' do
    exit
  end

  button 'change' do
    background 'rgb(200,0,0)'
  end
end

It should be quite easy I just am not clear on the syntex.

thanks

I have figured it out.
it is not that I had it wrong. Just that the background was not
refreshed. by adding "self.show ". It now refreshes itself

here is the program as it stands.

Shoes.app do
   background 'rgb(0, 0, 220)'
   line 10,10,300,300
  flow do
    quit = button "quit" do
      exit
          end
    button "change" do
      color1 = rgb(rand(255),rand(255),rand(255))
      background color1
      self.show
    end
    button "change2" do
      color2 = ask_color("Give me the Color")
      puts color2.class
      background color2
      self.show
    end
  end
end
