vi .gtkrc-2.02
An empty Text document will open, and you need to copy/paste the following lines
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?
