GNUsound stores its configuration information in a text file
in the location
~/.gnome/gnusound (for GNOME 1
installations) or ~/.gnome2/gnusound (for
GNOME 2 installations). Although some of the most
important properties that are stored in this file can be
edited from within GNUsound itself, this file also contains
other options that might be of interest. For example, it
contains the colors that GNUsound uses to draw various parts
of the interface. You can change these here if your aesthetic
sensibilities differ from those of the author.
It should be understood that editing the configuration file in this fashion may yield unexpected results. Also there is always a chance that the format of the file will change in the future, as well as the meaning of the properties and their values.
