Therefore, you will need to use a text editor to make changes to this file. If you try to edit this file, and it is empty, then here is a link to an existing .gtkrc file that I am using on my system. Here is the link: [ [[.gtkrc-2.0]] ] . Read the comment in the file to show you where to change the test text colour. The color number is a combination of '''HEX numbers ''' in pairs for '''RED''', '''GREEN''', and '''BLUE ''' light intensity. Combinations of these numbers create a very wide variety of colours...
Simply <u>copy </u> and <u>paste </u> these settings into that file, and save. The changes will take effect when you logout and login to your graphical Linux environment.
