Hello,
I recently upgraded to Fedora 13, and am finding the evolution mail
client icons a bit awkward. I use KDE for the desktop. I found this
image on the 'net of basically what it use to look like:
http://www.backuphowto.info/files/images/howto/2007/linux-screw-10-total-...
Personally I preferred the old icons, is there any way re-install them?
If not, then:
1) I used to have both icons and text on the taskbar (as in the
picture). Now I only have the icons. Anyway I can get both back again?
2) The icons are a bit small. Anyway to increase their size?
3) The icons are quite close together, and over to the left of the
application window. As seen in the picture, the icons used to be spread
along the top. Anyway to spread out the icons a bit?
Okay, it seems all 3 above are related. My work PC is still running F11
(until Friday), and I had a look at its Evolution settings today.
Using 'gconf-editor' these 2 were set:
/desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_icons_size "large-toolbar"
/desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_style "both"
Now, just by stopping/starting Evolution I could change these settings,
and see the effect. If I changed the toolbar style to 'icons' and used a
'small-toolbar', then I get pretty much exactly what I have under F13.
(In fact the only difference seems to be the icon for 'delete message'.)
If I changed it back to a style of 'both' - that is, icons and text, and
a large toolbar, then the icons are more spread out, presumably because
they have to cater for the text underneath as well now. It all appears
as I want it.
So, at home with F13, I set both of these using gconf-editor - to use a
large toolbar with both icons and text. I restarted Evolution, and
nothing changed. I logged out and in; no change. I rebooted the machine;
no change.
Gconf-editor (and gconftool-2) shows that these values have been set. I
can also seem them in my ~/.gconf/... xml file. But for some reason
Evolution (and others?) is ignoring them.
I'll play a bit more with this, but this seems like a bug to me.
John.
