Ali,
Good morning, sorry to hear that the auto hide failed to stick, not sure
what that's all about.
I had the same problem concerning the applet font colors. I did some
googling and came up with this:
create a file called .gtkrc-2.0 in your home directory that contains:
style "panel_color"
{
fg[NORMAL] = "#b4ff7b"
}
widget "*PanelWidget*" style "panel_color"
widget "*PanelApplet*clock*" style "panel_color"
I could not find the specific resources, thus the wild cards. The color
definition is slightly green of yellow. I used one of the color-picker
apps to get the value.
You'll need to log off and back on to see the changes.
Bob...
