Dear Alex,

Now I see your point. Sorry, it was my fault that I misunderstood your
post (I skipped the scheme entries part). I tried the following and
worked for me (I hope it might help you):

* Personal Stata scheme
#include s2color
color background white
color heading  black
* Changing margins fot the title of the graphs
margin  heading  vsmall
margin  heading  "15 15 15 15"

I added a huge margin in order to notice the change. Nonetheless, I
couldn't find a way to make it work with the
"{l|r|b|t}[<space>][+|-|=]#" notation. Perhaps a more advanced user
can help us with this issue.
Best regards,
Carlos
