If you log in under Gnome, that's what you get (at least it's what I get.) However under KDE I get a different set. The problem is I don't know where they came from or how to change them. My specific nit is that the icons for Delete and Junk look almost identical, causing a lot of visual confusion. Bad design or bad configuration? Anyway, I've tried messing with Settings->GTK+ Appearance and with Settings->Icons, to no effect. I don't see how to change the icons for Evo without using a completely different theme, even assuming that will do it. In previous incarnations of Fedora there were some GTK themes that simply wouldn't work properly under KDE, leading to serious loss of funcionality in at least one case I remember. OT: it's somewhat surprising that "easy to use" desktop environments make the configuration of appearance so hard. The user (i.e. me) can never remember where the various parts are configured or what they're called. A case in point: some Gnome apps (Chromium is one) have a vertical scroll bar where the slider is almost indistinguishable from the background. I'm sure this must be configurable somewhere, but where? The docs seem to be written for and by the designers rather than the users. I've perused userbase.kde.org to no avail so far (I've only spent a half-hour or so on it ...). What I'd like to be able to do is point at *anything* in the GUI and ask "what's this and where is it configured?". If anyone knows of a way of doing that, please tell. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
