Is it possible to change the text colour of the clock and how?I currently have a black task bar(which I like) and black clock digits and would like to change them to a lighter colour.
Are you using KDE 3.5? (inquiring minds and all that) If so right click on the clock (I have mine set to plain) at the bottom click on "configure clock" change the color by clicking on the foreground color and pick whatever you want from there (date works the same)

if you're using KDE4, Gnome, LXDE or E17, I haven't the foggiest.
