Description Christopher Beland 2001-09-10 01:18:45 UTC 
In most themes, there is no way to change the color of text displayed
in titles.  New users looking at the Appearance page would probably
expect to be able to do this from the "Browse" button on the main
screen, rather than from the theme-specific customization page, where
the option actually exists for the smaker theme.  Sun also commented
on this task in their usability test.  See:
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/ut1_report/customization_tasks.html

In general, I would expect this simple and very user-visible parameter
to be easy to change.  I realize this may be a difficult chance, since
the option to change the font color currently appears to be left up to
the theme creator.  Perhaps this could continue to be the case, but
with a general facility to allow the user to override the theme's
choice.

Don't know if it has to go here or in Nautilus, also I see no easy 
way in changing the font color of the Deskop Icons. I think this is 
a basic feature, because what would someone think of first when 
he/she has changed his/her background from black to white ? Yes, to 
adjust the font color of the desktop icons from white to black

@Christopher Beland: confirming

@Carsten Menke -> move-to: Nautilus

In Sawfish 1.6.0 it's possible to change the frame-font-color.
