No, he's talking about the gnome-panel, not gnome-terminal :)

I have done this with a snippet I picked up somewhere on the web (I
can't recall where so I can't give credit to the person who came up
with it)

Put a file with this contents in ~/.gnome2/panel-fontrc  : (create the
file with an editor - gedit or whatever you prefer)

style "my_color"
{
fg[NORMAL] = "#ffffff"
}
widget "*PanelWidget*" style "my_color"
widget "*PanelApplet*" style "my_color"


You can of course change the colour ( the above gives a white font -
use a colour chooser to get the hex code you need)

This seems to work well :)
