include "/home/autocrosser/.gnome2/panel-fontrc"style "desktop-icon"
{
NautilusIconContainer::frame_text = 1
text[NORMAL] = "#000000"
NautilusIconContainer::normal_alpha = 70
}
class "GtkWidget" style "desktop-icon"
#NautilusIconContainer::dark_info_color="#888888″
#NautilusIconContainer::light_info_color="#bbbbbb"
#NautilusIconContainer::highlight_alpha=200
style "my_color"
{
fg[NORMAL] = "#000000"
}
widget "*PanelWidget*" style "my_color"
widget "*PanelApplet*" style "my_color"
widget_class "*MenuItem*" style "my_color"
widget_class "*ToolItem*" style "my_color"
widget_class "*SeparatorMenuitem*" style "my_color"
widget_class "*SeparatorToolitem*" style "my_color"
widget_class "*ImageMenuitem*" style "my_color"
widget_class "*RadioMenuitem*" style "my_color"
widget_class "*CheckMenuitem*" style "my_color"
widget_class "*TearoffMenuitem*" style "my_color"
save and exit the file
Change the color code of: fg[NORMAL] = "#000000"
To whatever you like, and the text in gnome panels will become that color.
If you dont know the code for the color you want, you can use this little handy program.
sudo apt-get install gcolor2
If you want to access this program use the following command
gcolor2
Do you know a way to change the background/foreground colors of the terminal from the command line? For Xterms you can use escape sequences like :
echo “33]11;#febf7207”;
any way to do this in terminal?

it’s possible to change color’s font panel in gutsy ?
/home/autocrosser/.gnome2/panel-fontrc”style “desktop-icon seems to be invalid in ubuntu 7.10
I’m sorry for bad english
thanks
apt-get install gnome-color-chooser
the gnome color chooser works great!!!
Thanks
justdroppingin’s install code is valid, the gnome color chooser does work in Intrepid.
For all the newcomers to Ubuntu, though, here’s the correct code:
sudo apt-get install gnome-color-chooser
Can’t forget the good ‘ole sudo command 😉
I tried this and its still not working, is it cause im on 9.04? I had it working on gutsy and i thought i recalled calling a comman like killallpanels or something? thanks
I love linux :p
and i love :
sudo apt-get install gnome-color-chooser
