ianw1974 Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Started using Gnome now, and just have a few questions. I've installed some themes, those being: Controls = E17 Window Border = Unity Icons = Vista-Inspirate but for some reason, my toolbar always remains "grey". Is there any way it can be changed? I couldn't find a way. If it's controlled by a theme, what component controls it? I can do it in KDE no problems, just wondered what did it in Gnome.

arctic Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Right click on the panel, select properties -> background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Man, so easy :P Never thought of that What do I do about the font colour though? As it's black, so when I change it, I can't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvc Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I guess you are talking about the gnome-panel? You need a .gtkrc-2.0 file in your home dir with this in it style "panel" { fg[NORMAL] = "#ffffff" # fg[PRELIGHT] = "#000000" fg[ACTIVE] = "#ffffff" # fg[SELECTED] = "#000000" # fg[INSENSITIVE] = "#8A857C" bg[NORMAL] = "#000000" # bg[PRELIGHT] = "#dfdfdf" # bg[ACTIVE] = "#D0D0D0" # bg[SELECTED] = "#D8BB75" # bg[INSENSITIVE] = "#EFEFEF" # base[NORMAL] = "#ffffff" # base[PRELIGHT] = "#EFEFEF" # base[ACTIVE] = "#D0D0D0" # base[SELECTED] = "#DAB566" # base[INSENSITIVE] = "#E8E8E8" # text[NORMAL] = "#161616" # text[PRELIGHT] = "#000000" # text[ACTIVE] = "#000000" # text[SELECTED] = "#ffffff" # text[INSENSITIVE] = "#8A857C" } widget "*PanelWidget*" style "panel" widget "*PanelApplet*" style "panel" widget_class "*MenuItem*" style "panel" class "*MenuItem*" style "panel" I changed bg[NORMAL] to black because you said it was black, but change that to whatever color best blends the applet into your color or wallpaper, if transparent.
