so once again we descend into a situation where we have a configuration dialog with a billion twiddly options in it. i'm really not very impressed by this, to be honest.

the layout could perhaps be a bit cleaner, e.g.:

  Custom font color: [ x ] ( Color button )
        Show shadow: [ x ]
Custom shadow color: [ x ] ( Color button )

that's probably clearer and is both one less row and one less widget with the same features.

    when this is unchecked, both the label and the colour combo should be disabled. it's not really clear to me that the checkbox turns off the shadow versus just turns off a custom color for the shadow.

    shouldn't have a colon at the end of it, and since there are two colors, it should probably be plural ("colors"), ditto for "Use theme color" above.
