Two minor issues..
« on: May 31, 2010, 05:23:45 AM »
How do you set (and keep) this;



to this;



Being a web-designer; I'm used to seeing my directory trees in linear fashion without the dynamism that the default provides.

And while you're at it.. how do you set and keep the aero icon theme so that it'll stick? Normal navigation to the appearances menu don't work. :(

Nameless,
Please provide more information. What are you using? - LXDE? Openbox? ZenMini? MiniMe? E17? - What app is it you're working with? What exactly are you trying to do? What steps have you taken to accomplish this? Were any error messages generated? If so, what were they? (Be exact, not general.) Give any and all pertinent information.

The more exact and specific the information you provide, the more likely it is that someone can help.

Oh sorry, my bad. I shouldn't be multi-tasking across 4 different forums for four different reasons.

I'm using Zen Minime 2010 and its about a nautilus setting. There have no errors, no error-messages, not even a preference > behavior entry that (should've been) included, as an option to do what I'm trying to do.

As for the pointer problem; it'll change from one window to the next (from aero to the "system default" [I've removed the zen-mini pointer theme]); although its been set to use the 'aero' pointer theme.

Did you try clicking Edit > Preferences and make the changes you want?

Have you checked at the PCLinuxOS-Gnome forums?

There's a gnome forum?! Checking it out for it now..

and yeah.. but the strange thing is; there's not even setting for it (which should appear under the behavior tab).  ??? ???

As I don't use nautilus, there is little I can do to help. Maybe the guys at the Gnome forum can help.

As an alternative, you could install PCManFM and see if it will meet your need.

Okay, so I was able to solve one of the two problem that I've been having. (Problems possibly relating to two different bugs in gnome?).

In nautilus; in order to set your location bar to a link tree instead of the default "button-style", you must;

1. Download gconf-editor from synaptic (if you don't already have it).
2. Open (using the terminal or navigate to System>Preferences>Configuration Editor).
3. Once Configuration Editor is open; navigate to apps > nautilus > preferences.
4. Mark/check where it says always_use_location_entry and presto! Your location bar has now changed to the link tree style.

As for the pointer issue?

That remains to be solved.
