Show desktop button
by Rafael Fernandez 20 Jan '04

20 Jan '04

Hello, Is there going to be a new show desktop button in FC 2? I think that button is very useful for some people but it breaks the look of the Bluecurve with the GNOME default icon and the square around it. I think anybody who likes the Show desktop button and the Bluecurve theme would agree with me. Rafael Fernandez

Fullscreen and Panels
by Andre Meyer 20 Jan '04

20 Jan '04

Dear All In order to have quick access to frequently used apps I have added a panel on the left side of the screen with icons and drawers. The desktop is shifted to the right by the width of the panel. Unfortunately, when a new window opens it will appear under the panel, because applications are not aware that the desktop is now smaller. The same is true when moving the panel to the right or top of the screen. Oh btw, why has the menu panel disappeared, it looked nice in Gnome 2.2. Is this a known bug? If not, please add it to the list ;-) Thanks, kind regards Andre

Getting Monitor settings included in Fedora Core 2
by Charles McColm 20 Jan '04

20 Jan '04

Hi all. My monitor is not in the list of monitors for Fedora Core. I've managed to set it up for the maximum resolution as per the manufacturer. Is there someone I can just submit a slice of my XF86Config file to to have it included in Fedora Core 2? Thanks and cheers, Charles

Gnome 2.6 building
by Alexander Larsson 19 Jan '04

19 Jan '04

As some of you might have noticed we have started building Gnome 2.5 in rawhide now. This will take some time, especially since some parts depend on Gtk+ 2.3.2 which isn't out yet. Things might be pretty broken while this is going. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alexander Larsson Red Hat, Inc alexl(a)redhat.com alla(a)lysator.liu.se He's a leather-clad ninja rock star trapped in a world he never made.

Sorry for the noise, just that the "mailing list" address at the end of http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/desktop/ should point to this new list instead of devel list. behdad

Menu items on Panels?
by Maxwell Spangler 13 Jan '04

13 Jan '04

I know I can navigate the main menu, find an item and drag it to the panel so that I can quickly launch that item by clicking on the icon in the panel, but how about an entire menu item ("directory"?) that has several individual items in it? In Redhat 8, I managed to do this and was very happy with it. I spend my day running xterms on remote systems, so it's nice to easily click on a small panel icon, have a menu pop up, and then select an individual item to be launched. I believe I set this up in Redhat 8 by making the menus, populating the menus with items, then dragging the menu to the panel.. So for example, "Remote Shells" appears next to Applications and Accessories and might contain 10 different launchers for remote shells. "Remote Shells" would also be an icon on my top panel with the same 10 launchers. Is this still possible? I've been fighting my way through the documentation I've found, but I do get lost between the standard GNOME documentation for these things and Redhat/Fedora customizations.. Thanks! PS. I've just upgraded from Redhat 8.0 to Fedora Core R1 -- Nice work, folks, I am VERY impressed. -- -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maxwell Spangler Program Writer Greenbelt, Maryland, U.S.A.

Could you tell me how to open files in .ai format? The splash screen seemed a bit of old in fedoracore1 directory, I remembered that was the default wallpaper of rh9. :) > Kevin wrote: > > >Seems like the Fedora Art-workers didn't released enough Fedora-style artworks.

Some questions/suggestions about rpm compilation
by Kevin 10 Jan '04

10 Jan '04

Why redhat/fedora used i386 generation code for rpm compilation? Will this make a dropback of total performance? Will the fedora team release some i586,i686 packages, or both i386 and i586 for a update version? Thx, guys.

Bluecurve Window Control Colors
by Steven Garrity 09 Jan '04

09 Jan '04

Since the bluecurve theme was updated with the new window controls, they've never quite felt right to me. At first, the smaller size bothered me, but Garrett addressed these issues and after using it for a while, the size doesn't really bother me anymore. It occurred to me the other day that part of what bothers me is the soft color scheme. They don't look clickable like all other GTK buttons do, and I think it's because they aren't the matching bluecurve "metal/chrome". I've done a quick mockup to show the bluecurve window controls as chrome, rather than the blue-ish versions in there now: http://actsofvolition.com/images/bluecurve_experiment.png The trouble is, it's a little more utilitarian looking - though I do think the controls look more clickable. Thoughts, comments, and criticism are all encouraged. Also, for reference, here's a screenshot showing the bluecurve classic, current bluecurve, and my mockup controls all together: http://actsofvolition.com/images/bluecurve_windowcontrols_compare.png Thanks, Steven Garrity
