Hello SuSE people.
Still running 11.0 with KDE3.5 while I play with 11.3. I am not that good on the cli so I like using graphical displays. I am mainly speaking of grsync here which I run as root for backups.
Problem is that the menu fonts are so small I can hardly read them. I am sight impaired. I have tried to have it run using the KDE fonts but it doesn't work. Years ago there was a tool that controlled the configuration but I don't remember now or cannot find it.
Anybody can point me in the right direction so I can make them readable?
Bob,
Thanks for replying Istvan
I don't know about openSUSE 11.3 but I had similar problem in oS 11.2 with KDE 3.5.
This has been a continuing problem since 11.0. I am just really tired of using my magnifying glass
Try to fix this issue by creating a ".gtkrc-2.0" file in your home directory with the following content: gtk-font-name="Sans Serif 12"
OK, I need to define this a little further. In my original post I stated that I used grsync for backups - as root. The problem is as root. My GTK apps as a user work as expected. Nevertheless I tried your suggestion as above, both in the user and in root. In both places there is a gtkrc-2-kde file which correctly shows the font type, and size as defined in the personal sttings > appearance >gtk styles.
This defines the font type and size used by gtk applications. Increasing the number from 12 to higher results in bigger fonts. You can change font type according to your like as well.
The following line defines the gtk style: gtk-theme-name="Clorophyll"
Maybe this helps.
Nope, but thanks for trying. I hope somebody can come up with a solution for this. FWIW all of the apps in root have this problem. The Gimp, Firefox.etc but I don't really care because I never do anything as root. I just need grsync for my backups.
