Changing Gnone desktop font color.
by Nando 20 Sep '04

20 Sep '04

Hi all, is it not possible to change the global desktop font color in gnome? I've only found possible to change type and size, and changing the color could be good for some themes. Thank you, Nando

<snip> Regarding the so called wishlist queues, i think that is causing some slow evolution of fedora. The blocking of some basic and really needed features, like the gnome menu editing, is putting fedora some steps behind. If testing versions are always being released why not activate those features, those that are really needed. Everyone knows that they aren't expected to work at 100%. </snip> Ehh... "Everyone knows that they aren't expected to work at 100%" What? I would be seriously pissed if i had tried to edit my menu, and it completely screwed up on me, ending with ex. deleting all my menu items. I thought there stood somewhere "fedora is not supposed to become a dumping ground for old, unsupported software that don't work right"? Doing so would be completely wrong. Linux today has a big red "top quality" stamp - and we should be very carefull not to loose that stamp. Kyrre

User space filesharing

In between bugfixes I managed to hack up a pretty cool feature. A program that allows you to easily share files on a network without having to configure anything. Its not production quality yet, and it lacks some UI, but it seems to work. You can get rpms to try it at: http://people.redhat.com/alexl/RPMS/gnome-user-share-0.2-1.i386.rpm http://people.redhat.com/alexl/RPMS/gnome-user-share-0.2-1.src.rpm Just install them and start gnome-user-share, then toggle the /desktop/gnome/file_sharing/enabled key using gconf-editor or gconftool-2. You should get a $HOME/Public directory which is exported via webdav, and it should immediately be visible in the "Network" location in Nautilus 2.7/2.8 on all machines on the local network. Please test it out. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alexander Larsson Red Hat, Inc alexl(a)redhat.com alla(a)lysator.liu.se He's an old-fashioned coffee-fuelled househusband possessed of the uncanny powers of an insect.

Re: Fedora Core 3 Schedule Update - Test 2 Delayed

If we can get the final packages past the release managers, I think we should get them in; the value of getting the Test 2 testing with the newer packages I think outweighs the small chance of causing additional problems.

desktop mouse icon
by Justin Creasy 09 Sep '04

09 Sep '04

Hello. I am a senior CS major at James Madison University. I am working on a research project that uses 73 flat screen monitors in one large, wrap-around visualization wall. Each CPU is running Fedora Core 1. The visualization is great, but on every computer you can still see the mouse icon. We were able to hack together a solution to hide the mouse icon when we were using redhat 8. We were just hoping that someone knew how to remove/hide the mouse icon in Fedora Core 1. Any help is appreciated, thanks for your time ~ Justin Creasy
