Mozilla theme?
by Mariano Draghi
Hi,
Currently I'm using Mozilla on FC1 with a 3rd party BlueCurve theme that
was mentioned in this list a few times (which looks _very_ nice btw)
Now I learned that the new Linux GTK2 Mozilla builds (since version
1.7b) are more "OS theme-friendly", so to speak.
I also learned --through this list-- that there is a BlueCurve icon set
for Mozilla Firefox in development.
I wonder how this is going to be managed in FC2... are we finally going
to have a _default_ BlueCurve Theme for Mozilla? (please! That 'Classic'
Mozilla theme looks _really_ bad!!!)
FireFox is going to be part of FC2? If so, which one is going to be the
default? Mozilla or Firefox?
The new icon set is FireFox-only or it's going to be used for Mozilla
suite too?
Maybe some of my questions should be asked in the fedora-devel list, but
please, at least I'd like some hear something about the planned Mozilla
look-and-feel!
Thanks for any inputs,

Usb storage icon.
by Nando
Hi,
does anyone have made or have seen a icon, that could apply to a usb storage device? Like a usb pen drive.
Giving preference to an approach to the bluecurve theme.
Thank you,

Visual highlight of active inputs
by Steven Garrity
I posted last month in gnome-usability
(http://lists.gnome.org/archives/usability/2004-March/msg00067.html)
about visually highlighting active input boxes.

I was told that this was already possible and was in the realm of the
theme. If this is the case, perhaps it is something worth looking at for
bluecurve.
The highlighting of active form elements is very powerful in OS X
(screenshot:

be interesting to see in Gnome.

Gconf-editor Option For Click to Raise?
by Victor Gregorio
Hello. Is there an option hidden somewhere in gconf that tweaks the
"click to raise" option for windows? I can configure the focus to
follow the mouse, but need to click on the title bar in order to raise
the window.
I would prefer if the window raised itself when I click *any* part of
the window. Is this possible with Fedora?
Thanks, Victor.

Bugs with ppp0 configuration (ADSL)
by solo4bird＠sohu.com
I am using fedora core 1 with the newest 2.6.4 kernel, built by myself. I am using the GUI tool of redhat-config-network to add an ppp0 device for ADSL,there was a wizard pop out for my configuration. So following the steps of the wizard, I named the ISP as CNC, and then entered the user name and password for the virtual dial of ADSL. After this, I activated the device. I found I got an IP from ISP, but I cannot ping any host. eg, ping www.yahoo.com, I got an "unkown host " returned. and there is nothing in /etc/resolve file.
I try to locate the problem. I found when I add the ppp0 via the GUI tool. All the config file of this ppp0 device have been named as conifg-CNC. By this way, if I use "ifup ppp0", fedora will give me an error of "missing ppp0 config file". Then I looked into the property of the ppp0 device using the GUI tool. There found an alias item, which is CNC by the way. I renamed it as ppp0 and save. I found the config-CNC files had been renamed as config-ppp0. And then reactivated the device, all the network problem were gone!!!
So I figure it as a potential bug of redhat-config-network!

Yup, it a good thing down the road...but as of now different drivers don't
really help out a whole lot.
I'm going to try a full reinstall and see if that works. And if it doesn't
then there's some sort of configuration failure on Redhat's part.
I'll just have to wait until my hardware is supported.

I've tried both the nv and nvidia drivers respectively and haven't noticed a
changed other than in performance. Started posting to the other mailing
list.
I'm just wondering about some method to go about this, beyond looking at the
logfiles.
