Excellent!  I may do something like that at work. Slowly change the colors over a month or so and see how long it takes anyone to notice...  :)

Thanks Ralph!  That works perfectly!  And there's no need to
restart anything.  The graphs appeared differently with just a web
page refresh.

There may be a better place to put this, but it works for me.  In:

     /home/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg

add this as one long line:

RRDGRAPHOPTS="-c BACK#363636 -c CANVAS#000000 -c SHADEA#CFCFCF -c
SHADEB#CFCFCF -c GRID#222222 -c MGRID#441E1E -c FONT#FFFFFF -c
AXIS#696969 -c FRAME#000000 -c ARROW#FA0016"

Take them out of the graphs.cfg file.  I don't know if it's
strictly necessary to restart Xymon, but I did, and all the
graphs now come up with those colors.  Not sure how to make it
work with individual graphs.

    I tried adding the color lines into my graphs.cfg file as
    specified in this how-to
    https://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdgraph.en.html

    I edited one section to see what would happen.  It threw an
    error that said _*invalid color def format*_

    Here's the section of my graphs.cfg that I edited. Anyone
    know what the correct formatting is so I can stylize my graphs?

    Something similar to Grafana would be awesome! It provides a
    very rich set of graphing options.  (see image below) No
    idea if RRDs can be used though.

    Can anyone advise on how to theme the graphs a bit?  After
    20 years of the light gray rectangles I'd like them to look
    a little more modern.
