[Solved] Gnome Panel Applet Colors

I can't figure out how to change them. Everything I've put in my .gtkrc-2.02 doesn't really seem to work. Here's the most thorough it's gotten:

style "panel"
{
  fg[NORMAL]               = "#FF00FF"
  fg[PRELIGHT]            = "#FF00FF"
  fg[ACTIVE]               = "#FF00FF"
  fg[SELECTED]            = "#FF00FF"
  fg[INSENSITIVE]            = "#FF00FF"

  bg[NORMAL]               = "#FF00FF"
  bg[PRELIGHT]            = "#FF00FF"
  bg[ACTIVE]               = "#FF00FF"
  bg[SELECTED]            = "#FF00FF"
  bg[INSENSITIVE]            = "#FF00FF"

  base[NORMAL]            = "#FF00FF"
  base[PRELIGHT]            = "#FF00FF"
  base[ACTIVE]            = "#FF00FF"
  base[SELECTED]            = "#FF00FF"
  base[INSENSITIVE]         = "#FF00FF"

  text[NORMAL]            = "#FF00FF"
  text[PRELIGHT]            = "#FF00FF"
  text[ACTIVE]               = "#FF00FF"
  text[SELECTED]            = "#FF00FF"
  text[INSENSITIVE]            = "#FF00FF"
}
widget "*PanelWidget*" style "panel"
widget "*PanelApplet*" style "panel"
class "*Panel*" style "panel"
widget_class "*Mail*" style "panel"
class "*notif*" style "panel"
class "*Notif*" style "panel"
class "*Tray*" style "panel"
class "*tray*" style "panel"
class "*" style "panel"
widget "*" style "panel"

I've referenced 1 2 3 and more, which I cannot recall nor find. I'm beginning to think my .gtkrc-2.02 is not being referenced or I cannot change the color of music-applet font colors or clock font colors. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I feel like it's a stupid question because people have asked it in 2006 - 2008, but there hasn't been much mention of it since, and the .gtkrc-2.02 seemed to be how they rolled. So, how have people done it since?

Re: [Solved] Gnome Panel Applet Colors

...fml.

I realized two things: 1. I should have been using .gtkrc-2.0, not .gtkrc-2.02 (don't know where I got that from, but I kept doing it). 2. Gnome-color-chooser does work, but is not really up to par on the usability end. I'm thinking a wiki on it may be apropos. I shall attempt to start it.
