Re: chart label alternate font

The colors are part of the theme so you have to edit the gkrellmrc file for the theme
you are using.  Look for the lines:

StyleChart *.textcolor = #efd097 #000000 shadow
StyleChart *.alt_textcolor = #00e4e2 #000000 shadow

The path to  the theme you are using can be seen in the Config->Themes page.
But if you are using the default theme, you have to get the gkrellm source and copy
the pixmaps directory to a new theme.  For example in the top dir of the
gkrellm source tree:

cp -a pixmaps ~/.gkrellm2/themes/your_theme_name

Then edit ~/.gkrellm2/themes/your_theme_name/gkrellmrc

Or a new theme can be put in /usr/local/share/gkrellm2/themes/
