    I'm new to this thread but have read it.
    
    My Jpilot version 0.11.8 running on KUbuntu 6.0.6 is black on white 
    except for a few icons with color.
    
    I'd like to install a color theme but the 
    /usr/share/jpilot/jpilotrc.default (and the others) seem very different 
    than my ~/.jpilot/jpilot.rc.
    
    How do I install or invoke a color theme?  One of the ones in 
    /usr/share/jpilot would be ok to get started.  Man jpilot doesn't 
    address this.
    
    I like Jpilot very much but a little color would help a lot.
    Especially to make appointment days with entries stand out.
