gnome apps in kde show wrong theme
Has anyone noticed that gnome apps in kde seem to have a style/theme different from gnome or kde? Anyone have a fix for that. I'm running SuSe 9.0 Pro. -- Brian Craft Yahoo Instant Messenger ID: bcraft67 AIM: linuxman67 Website: http://userdata.acd.net/javaman67/ Linux Counter id: 97873 Linux......the OS of Choice!

I'm not quite sure what you're saying, but have you tried installing the control-center2 packages from www.usr-local-bin.org (in the Misc Stuff section)? -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 9.0).

Hi, I am using SuSE 9.0. I have an application to install and the install is asking if my systetm uses font aliasing or not. If it does, is it xft1 or xft2. Anyone have an idea what this means? Thanks, Jim

Antialiasing is a technique whereby the pixels on the edge of a curve are given a shade intermediate between foreground and background. So, if a letter O is drawn antialiased black on white, the curved edges will have pixels in various shades of grey. If it works well, you get a letter O that looks more realistic. It requires quite a bit more processing to draw letters and is more useful if you have a large or low resolution monitor monitor screen. Your application is probably a Gtk app that uses pango. Check /usr/share/doc/pango for more information. SuSE 9.0 probably uses both pango and xft2. KDE has a feature for turning font antialiasing on and off in the control center and I think it's now on by default. I don't know whether this makes any difference to Gtk apps. -- JDL Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit.
