Hi all,
is it not possible to change the global desktop font color in gnome? I've only found possible to change type and size, and changing the color could be good for some themes.
Thank you, Nando

The font color comes from the theme, so the theme should set a sensible one for that theme. If it doesn't, it's a theme bug basically.
A "colors control panel" to override the colors in themes is a longtime wishlist item, but has trouble making the top of the priority queue.

That would be awesome! That is one of the things KDE does better than GNOME, customizing colours.

Just to hype my own program :-) Look at GNOME Configurator here:
http://www.krakoa.dk/linux-software.html
It can (among other things) change theme colors.

Awesme program! I've wanted something like this for GNOME!

Your program seems very good. I'm going to try it for sure...
Regarding the so called wishlist queues, i think that is causing some slow evolution of fedora. The blocking of some basic and really needed features, like the gnome menu editing, is putting fedora some steps behind. If testing versions are always being released why not activate those features, those that are really needed. Everyone knows that they aren't expected to work at 100%.

Our general policy (for final releases, not test releases) is that if something is totally busted it's better to just turn it off. It looks worse to have broken functionality than to have missing functionality.
