Hi, Since you forwarded my mail to the experts list:
This is my little "defending wizards" speech that I always keep for moments like this.

It is text - I can put into it the text of one of Terry Pratchets books and hope Rincewind the wizard comes hopping out as my new office helper. What I do like about them is, that they are completely open and democratically changable by anybody and any program (with enough rights) - no registry shit, no encrytion, plain (text) and honest. But the problem about those config files shows in this example, I now know how to change the fonts, and I know how to change the theme. But that is all I have learned in these two mails. That's why I dig webmin, for the simple tasks that I want done it is perfect. And all it really does, is change the democratic text files... > first look at this line in my example ~/.gtkrc-2.0: > include "/usr/share/themes/Bluecurve/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" > and now do: > $ find /usr/share/themes -name gtk-2.0 > > so? do you still need some wizard or configurator? ;) No, actually your first tip was all I really needed (bigger fonts) to have KDE as desktop and not loosing my eyesight. The theme was just for fun. So would be the rest I could do with it. You can have one of my Terry Pratchet books as a thank-you, I just finished it. (That's maybe why I am in a bit of a strange mood and dare to write to the expert list, but I am honestly grateful for this tip) good night, everybody b.
