Summary: Please add option to change GTK+ 2 skin
Product: drakconf
Version: 9.3-2mdk
   Platform: PC
 OS/Version: All
 Status: UNCONFIRMED
   Severity: enhancement
   Priority: P2
  Component: drakconf
 AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 I use KDE as the primary desktop. Sadly there is no option to change
the looks
 of gnome apps. (both theme and font). Too bad, because many users would be
 attracted to Mandrake by goodlooking apps: imagine being able to set
Nuvola,
 Smokey-blue or Grand-canyon!

 Currently, I edit ~/.gtkrc-2.0 by hand, but this cannot be asked to
the ordinary
 user.

 The other options are not feasible either:

 1. calling the gnome-control-center by command line does not work
(why?) and the
 ordinary user cannot be asked to use the command line anyway.

Works for me, as does gnome-theme-manager.


 2. you could add switch2 to the distro, but beware that it currently
does not
 work (because it creates a bad .gtkrc-2.0).


3) Add menu for gnome-control-center to Configuration menu (I have
suggested this before), in which case it's a GNOME packaging bug
(control center should have needs=x11, not needs=gnome).

Of course, considering that default GTK font size is too small (IMHO)
and drakxtools etc use GTK, KDE users have too-small fonts in drakfw,
mandrakegalaxy, drakxtools etc, and have no easy way to change it.

Buchan
