Well yes; that tab is one of the two tabs that do not work yet! (I was talking "right" after all then). You can change it under Decoration!

But it's not the same thing.

This is why I'm so pissed at it right now. I can't change the theme overall. They've taken away my power of choice.

I could change that in custom.conf if I could just remember the code under the theme section to.

I can change the theme and I can change the icons. Even if it is not the same procedure you can do a lot with it. So the power of choice is there. But you may need a bit more "power of work". :P
It is not as easy as just picking a theme I'll give you that.

Yeah, see that's the thing about current Gnome/GDM as compared to the old Gnome/GDM.

I need to figure what I put in that "Greeter" and "Theme" section of custom.conf - once I do that, I'll have it made.

Code: Select all

# gdm2setup
  File "/usr/bin/gdm2setup", line 43
    from gdm2.gdm2setup import GDM2Setup
                                       ^
TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation


Care to explain this one anyone? Did they forget to build against python2 like they did with postgresql?

I haz a problem with this. I like to be able to see what I'm changing to before I go write it down in some config file, when it comes to display options (as in how things will look and feel).

One of the very few times I would ever ask. Is there a GUI to configure it with? I've installed a bazillion slim themes - I'd like to know what the one I'm choosing for the config file looks like, so I can pick & choose.

Don't do auto login, but I do timed login. Is there an option for that? Edit: Nope, there sure isn't! Dang! Any way I can write that option in?

Also, what if I want some weird-arse super effed-up theme like my famous Happy Feet avatar, or Harry Potter? :lol:

Or maybe Stewie?

:lol:

Thanks.
