One day, looking on deviantart.com for some inspiration for my conky script I saw on one picture a nice panel with beautiful font. After that I've started to search a simple tutorial or a simple program which could change the font of my panel. My salvation was the program Gnome Color Chooser.

I've discovered my passion for Linux and specially for Ubuntu two years ago when I've decided to install this great Operating System. In the installation time I was worried not to loose the Windows partition and not to destroy the Hard Disk.
