Change Text Color of Gnome Clock

To change the text color of the Gnome Clock open the file .gtkrc-2.0 in your home directory and add the following changing #000000 to the desired text color:

style "panel-clock"
{
  fg[NORMAL] = "#000000"
}
widget "*.clock-applet-button.*" style "panel-clock"

Then restart the gnome panel by typing "killall gnome-panel" into the terminal.

This has been tested in Ubuntu 9.04 but may work with other distributions running Gnome.
