The default theme for F12
by Matthias Clasen 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

Hey all, we've been discussing the idea of changing the default GTK+/Metacity theme in F12. Nodoka has been the default for a while, and it seems to undergo a major rework now ( http://mso-chronicles.blogspot.com/ ). We don't want to do a radical visual change, though. The idea is to go back to the upstream default, Clearlooks. Let me know what you think. I'd like to make this change for the alpha. Matthias

(Asus, M51VA, touchpad) Asus M51VA+Fedora 10: Touchpad cannot be disabled
by Debarshi Ray 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/506215 I got this bug assigned to the gnome-build package and I am quite sure that it has got nothing to do with disabling of touchpads. To which package should I reassign this one? Or should I just close it? Cheerio, Debarshi -- One reason that life is complex is that it has a real part and an imaginary part. -- Andrew Koenig

desktop spin changes
by Matthias Clasen 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

Over the last few days, I have make made some changes with the goal of improving the menus of the desktop spin. Most of this was done by splitting packages or just excluding packages. I am not going to list all the changes in detail here, but I wanted to mention one change: the System menu in F11 has 3 (!) 'About' menuitems, one of which opens the same program as the 'Help' item right above it. This has been reduced to just 'Help' and 'About this computer'. 'About Fedora' is not lost, it shows up as the first document when you open 'Help'. Matthias
