Artificial Intelligence Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I don't know if this also apply for mandrake: Applications -> System Tools -> Configuration Editor Browse through the tree: apps -> nautilus -> preferences 'Always_use_browser' [x] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 (edited) the program is "gconf-editor" if you can't find it in your menu, but it should be there btw, paul uses gentoo ;) IIRC gconf-editor is standard across all distro's as it's part of GNOME.

P. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Edit>Preferences>Behavior tabhttp://bvc.kernow-webhosting.com/theme/ima...lus-browser.png next question:how do I set an icon theme to be used in nautilus? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> those are called stock-icons /usr/share/icons/theme_name/scalable (or size)/stock is where they reside however not all show correctly. Years ago someone had the bright idea to have nautilus decide what icons it uses and we ended up with nautilus themes. They are obsolete. This broke stock-icons for the past couple of years and we've had to use iconrc files and icons inside of gtk themes. This is the most accurate way to be sure you get all the stock icons you want but it's extremely tedious. See a gtk theme.....about half have some sort of iconrc and icons in it. Unless this is some secret that has just been relvealed, it appears as though devel are finally fixing broken stock icons in Icon Themes. Check out the new gtk dir in icon themes. http://bvc.kernow-webhosting.com/theme/ico...3a-icons.tar.gz http://bvc.kernow-webhosting.com/theme/ico...lueStock.tar.gz http://bvc.kernow-webhosting.com/theme/ico...lueStock.tar.gz http://bvc.kernow-webhosting.com/theme/ico...iveStock.tar.gz gnome-theme-manager or (faster) gconf-editor>desktop>gnome>interface>icon_theme of course cli is even faster. If changes do not show up imediately; killall nautilus killall gnome-panel Edited March 8, 2005 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 let me explain my problem a bit clearer :) I'm not using gnome. I'm using fvwm. I've set the icon theme to smokey-blue for now if I fire up gnome smokey bue is loaded, and all the correct icons and stuff if I run nautilus --no-desktop from fvwm, then I get no icons theme :( if I run nautilus then open preferences:// and change my theme, it redraws my desktop, and fvwm loses control of the desktop (kind of) I want to be able to use nautilus --no-desktop and have pretty icons (well any icons would be good) At the moment I have 1 icon for folders, images, files, .. everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 I've never used fvwm but wouldn't it be like running fluxbox or any other box? You know, we had to run the gnome-settings-daemon frin an .xinitrc or wm startup script. I'm sure someone that has used fvwm knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 that's sounds right. How do I start the gnome-settings-daemon ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
