klavaro

Klavaro is a program that teachs you to touch type and/or helps you to improve your skills with the keyboard.

There is some more information at:

https://klavaro.sourceforge.io/

Besides those related to GTK, a few options are available.
-h, --help: see some help at command line.
-v, --version: see the program version.
-x, --velotxt: forces the speed module to use complete texts with  paragraphs, just like the fluidity one.

Some colors may be configured through the file "preferences.ini".  It's commonly placed at: $HOME/.config/klavaro/
There you should create a session named [colors] and set some colors  with the internet/html syntax (#RRGGBB). For example:

[colors]
key_fg=#332200
key_1=#112233
key_9=#213243
text_intro_fg=#222222
char_untouched_bg=#fffaf8
char_wrong_fg=#880000
char_correct_fg=#009900
char_retouched_fg=#bbbbaa
cursor_blink_bg=#ff88ff

And also, an alternative file can be defined, for toggling all those  colors: "altcolor.ini", besides the "preferences.ini" file.

Here follows the complete list of keywords to set colors.
