Topic: How to change panel text color [Solved]

How do you change the text color on the panel? I've changed the conky color to black for a lighter background but the time/date text in the upper right hand corner is still gray and you can't see it. Is there a way to change that to black of other dark shade?

running #! 20111125 64bit. it runs GREAT!

hi vinoman, welcome to the community. with 'panel', do you mean tint2? so the 'taskbar'? because then you can just go to the Right-click menu > Settings > Tint2 > Edit config file
read up on the syntax online and find out how to change your text color.

bash :: @script :: system :: fclean

Yes, I found the hex code and changed to black. Now I can see the time.

Thank you smile

I'm back using #! again and I can't remember what the name of the fonts on the desktop are called to change the color. what do they call the text of the system info and shorcuts?
