A couple of updates after following a lot of web links. The vnc connection works fine using a pull down menus instead of the fancier gnome3. The local login using the gnome3 and the top bar is unreadable as shown in the earlier image, BUT I found that I could get it to become readable by using gnome-tweak-tool and changing the text scaling factor to 1.5 or above. Thought that was a fix, but after logining out and back in, it is again unreadable but running gnome-tweak-tool shows it is still set to 1.5, but changing it again will make it work, so something is resetting this. So, I hoping there is another tool that might be able to reset the setting and have it handle logouts. That still leaves the sign in screen with the top bar as unreadable and the fedora icon is also not displayed correctly. +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
