Hi Marco, Try: zypper in gnome-tweak-tool and run it :) I would consider to add this package to the default GNOME3 pattern, since the demand for this package seems to be very high (I know it's not a part of the default GNOME3 release, but the demand justifies it).

Hi everyone,

the wait is over, openSUSE GNOME team is pleased to announce GNOME:STABLE:3.0 repository is now open and can be used (but you must be running openSUSE 11.4).

Everything is explained at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GNOME_3.0 including : * how to install GNOME 3 using 1-click install (or zypper ) * how to switch from my previous repository (home:fcrozat:gnome3, which will be soon phased out) to the new repository. This is important to continue receiving updates, for instance, if you installed live image on your system.

Enjoy !

Frederic, First of all I would like to express my acknowledgement to you and other involved Devs which have permitted to test and using Gnome3.

I did the upgrade on my 11.4 64bit and everything appears nice and really different respect to Gnome2 series.

One of the first "lack" we can notice is the total or very limited availability to set options on Desktop behaviour, as Fonts, Icons, windows, apps, and so on.

I like to "hack" such kind of things despite I'm not a coder but just a simple user so I fall in some Gnome-Shell customizations but that where designed especially for Fedora.

In any case I have been able to reduce the icon size (the default ones are honestly too big) for the apps showing into the main window and to set a different window dimensions (title, borders) for apps by modifying some lines inside:

/usr/share/themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml

1       <distance name="left_width" value="3" /> 2       <distance name="right_width" value="3" /> 3       <distance name="bottom_height" value="5" /> 4       <distance name="title_vertical_pad" value="8"/>

and

/usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css

01      .icon-grid { 02          spacing: 18px;                       /* was 36px */ 03          -shell-grid-item-size: 35px;         /* was 70px */ 04      } 05 06      .all-app .icon-grid { 07          -shell-grid-item-size: 59px;         /* was 118px */ 08      }. 09 10      all-app .overview-icon { 11          icon-size: 48px;                     /* was 96px */ 12      }

Read more: http://blog.fpmurphy.com/2011/03/customizing-the-gnome-3-shell.html#ixzz1KMy...

But the left border icons group have been not affected by these modifications and they continue to be very big, so I would like how to modify the code in order to reduce their dimensions.

I've also installed gnome-tweak-tool and I understood almost all the menu in order to change some of the behaviours of the shell, but I did not understand how to activate the field shell theme customization which in my case rest disabled with the message "User theme extension not enabled"

Cheers,

Olá Nelson,

If you read to the bottom of my message, you can see that I've already installed gnome-tweak-tool but the version currently available (the Factory version too) doesn't allows to change shell Theme.

Abraço!

Cheers,

P.S. Changing completely topic:

I think Evolution 3.0 should gain more plugin than the default available currently: the old "evolution-remove-duplicates", for example, would be very useful indeed and my attempt to compile and install the 0.0.4 tar.gz version has failed at first attempt!

remove-duplicate plugin [1] has been integrated in main source code of Evolution 3.0 so you don't need plugin any more. [1] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587011 regards, Akhil

Akhil,

That's a very good news!

But for an user standpoint how we can test/use such plug-in?

I've not yet noticed its presence into the habitual main/right-clicks options.

If you have Evolution 3.0, then Menu -> Message -> Remove duplicate messages. You will find same option in right click pop up when you select multiple messages. Regards, Akhil

Will this be offered for 11.3 and earlier any time soon?

No, that'd be too much work to backport this to older versions, and we don't have enough hands for that :/ Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
