Hi; I would like to learn more about the inner workings of Gnome and friends (e.g. Nautilus, Metacity etc.). I have been using Gnome as my desktop for three years. I am familiar with a lot of the basics, but I don't want to start programming Gnome. Put another way, I want to get deeper into Gnome than Help and gconf-editor but not as far as GTK and Application Development. Something that perhaps tells me where the key files are, what each is used for, where and why they get there input files, how various elements are activated (programs, scripts and daemons) and how to change gnomes performance. For example, I just went through an exercise getting my icons on my Trash changed to function using trash_empty and trash_full. It now works, but I got it to work by following explicitly a lot of advice from the mailing list, forum and irc. I am still not sure of the whys and wayfors of what I did. I have gathered together advice on how to change the colour of my windows title bar. It is not too difficult to follow once put together in one place. I now have some minor panel fixes and/or experiments I want to attempt but I would rather not work blind. Is there a manual, site or tutorial that covers this middle ground between beginner and developer? -- Regards Bill Fedora 9, Gnome 2.22.3 Evo.2.22.3.1, Emacs 22.2.1 _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
