On my 11.3 RC2 installation, the yast config modules (gtk ui) lack the small icon on buttons such as Cancel or Ok. Do you know the reason why? What's the default now on openSUSE? With or without icon? -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
Hi Karl,
The gtk plugin honors gnome's show-button-icons flag (which wasn't
the case in 11.2), and now gnome (and opensuse along with it)
defaults to FALSE.
I dunno the rationale behind the new default, but it seems clear
the gtk plugin should abide by it. It if is to be changed, I suggest we
do at the gnome level.
This setting can be changed by issuing: (for button and menu icons,
respectively)
gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons --type bool true
gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons --type bool true
I personally find it much more comfortable to navigate through the menu
when icons are enabled. Button icons I find are less visually useful (they are
scarce and often their location already conveys their semantics), so
it only adds
to the overall UI pollution.
Should we fill a bug report to get some feedback on this?
Cheers,
Ricardo

Thanks for all the background info, Ricardo. Very helpful.

Thanks, this works great. BTW, at least the button icons are enable on XFCE by default. This probably confused us guys in the doc department ;)

At least in YaST I like all this color stuff (because otherwise the config dialogs often look boring). It is also helpful if you switch between gtk and qt often.

Good idea. I'll keep you posted. -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
