Should this script work in Feisty? I've tried it but it doesn't seem to be working for me.
Edit: Nevermind. It does work. Don't know what I was doing wrong!

Im trying to change the font colour in Gutsy Gibbon and Its not working for me... any ideas?
Edit: Works now! However you need to use this piece of code to reload the panels: killall gnome-panel

Good stuff. Building on this, is there a way to get the same white-bold-on-black behavior that the Window Titlebar text has?
The attached image should show what I'm talking about.
I'd like the same Bold + Shadow effect to also be on the panel. It might end up being too much, but I'd still like to try.
I'm using gutsy, I can change the colour of the top panel's writing but it changes the File Edit View bar also. I've tried to change one of the lines rather than my_color and it didn't work and gave me this;
Am I doing something drastically wrong?louis@ubuntu:~$ gedit .gtkrc-2.0
/home/louis/.gtkrc-2.0:20: error: invalid string constant "#FFFFFF", expected valid string constant
Scroll a little up and see. It has been discussed:
Then change the "black_text" color code to whatever you like.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] = "#FFFFFF"
}
style "black_text"
{
fg[NORMAL] = "#000000"
}
widget "*PanelWidget*" style "my_color"
widget "*PanelApplet*" style "my_color"
widget_class "*MenuItem*" style "black_text"
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"

thanks for that, couldn't see the wood for the trees
Is there a way to make this script apply to only the top panel?
My top panel is transapent so a lighter color font is preferable. And I have the User Switcher and the defualt Date and Time applets in that panel.
My bottom panel is still the defualt white color.
The problem I'm having is that when I change the font color with this script to white the text in the bottom panel within the window boxes (can't think of the right term at the moment, i.e. if I have Firefox open, there is a little box in the bottom panel that says the title of the page I'm viewing, if I have the terminal open, is says the text trom the terminal, both have little icons and the control the window--minimize etc. ) fades into the white background. I tried the black_text fix thusThis fixed the text in the window boxes, but it also change the User Switcher and the Date and Time text in the top panel to black.Code:widget "*PanelApplet*" style "black_text"
So I was wondering if there is a way to specify which panel the code would be applied to. Or, alternatively, which widgets to apply the code to.
Thanks,
Dustin
