rc files is one way to do this. Look at testgtk.c and testgtkrc.
That way the user can just edit the rc file to change font/color.

GTK 1.1 has support for this. Possibly something like:
label = gtk_accel_label_new ("");
gtk_label_parse_uline (GTK_LABEL (label), "_Artist");
I haven't figured out how you get the accelerator key to work, though.
It might be something to do with gtk_accel_label_set_accel_widget ()
but I tried that and it didn't seem to work.
