Description Sebastien Bacher 2003-09-16 13:02:06 UTC 
This bug was originally reported in the Debian BTS:
http://bugs.debian.org210741

"As someone who doesn't go for dark industrial themes, I find a lot of the
desklets unusable because they seem to want to display the font in white.
Many desklets seem to not allow the font to be changed (e.g. the wireless
and weather are two I am trying to look at right now which don't, the battery
one does).

To be able to configure the default desklet font (base size and colour) in
a control panel applet for a desklet default would be a nice enhancement."
Comment 1 Christian Meyer 2003-09-16 15:20:18 UTC 
Authors of sensors/displays can enable the fontselector which is available in the 
gdesklets core.
Closing.
Comment 2 Christian Meyer 2003-09-16 15:21:21 UTC 
I meant there's the possibility to change to color (and the font). Sorry, for the 
confusion.
Comment 3 Sebastien Bacher 2003-09-16 15:35:04 UTC 
I know that users can change fonts with fontselector .. I've forwarded
this bug because the idea to set a "default system font" seems good.
It can allow to set a default font that fit with the background ...
Comment 4 Christian Meyer 2003-09-17 19:09:18 UTC 
I was thinking about to check the background and then set the font
color accordingly. This could be done by the core and when I'll have
more time I'm going to implement it.
Reopening...
Comment 5 Martin Grimme 2003-12-29 13:18:02 UTC 
I hope we can solve this mess with Cascading Stylesheets in the future.
For the time being, the FontSelector does its job quite well.
Closing this bug.
