 Posted: Fri Mar 17, 2006 1:51 pm Post subject: Use rox as default in gnome? |
 |
|
I installed gnome yesterday in addition to kde, and I noticed that gnome looks so OS7 compared to kde (okay it looks OS7 compared to mac OS7....) I changed the theme so that's not as much of a problem, but I just can't deal with its file explorer / terminal. I really like the look of rox, and I could probably deal with xterm. I searched through the settings menus and I couldn't find a way to change the default WM to rox...
Is it possible to do that???

It's not the default WM (WINDOW MANAGER) that you want to change but the FILER MANAGER !!
