- Theme colours - this isn't going to be enough to clearly
differentiate Fedora or on its own, but it could perhaps help to
reinforce a sense of Fedora-ness. I’m not sure how it would work in
terms of a) maintenance b) coherence with other UI colours c) custom
application theming - so from my perspective it would require some
research and discussion.
This was an oft-requested customisation:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654864
The problem was that this was hard to implement in the GTK+ 2.x days
and is probably still difficult to implement without a framework to
do so.
This has been possible in macOS X since the first version:

Of course, there might be other options worth pursuing [3].
The "Default Hostname" section used to read:
"Visible on the local network, shell prompts, remote logins"
This was meant as a fallback, for example when the user emptied the
"Computer name" in the sharing panel, or no user accounts were created
yet. This could also be applied as a default name to kiosks (with only
guests accounts) or Live CD/USB. For reference, the old names were
"localhost" for the last 2 items, and "linux" for Avahi advertised
services.
I completely agree that this shouldn't be seen on most systems.
The "Online Accounts Settings panel" (which read "Identifying as GNOME
or Distribution to the service provider") and the "Browser homepage"
sections
were removed.
The former is quite common for distributions that want to
1) be identified by the service provider and 2) avoid running against usage
limits that are applied to all of GNOME. Here's a list of API keys maintained
upstream which I believe should all be overridable by vendors:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/OnlineServicesAPIKeys
The latter would be in the same category as browser bookmarks. A first run of
Firefox on Fedora was quite intrusive (last I remember!), opening multiple pages,
some of which would not make sense to end users.
Thanks for putting this into shape.
