 |
|
I am running openbox, but it seems that this was an issue when I was running gnome as well...
The font gaim uses it quite large. I have tried chaning the .gtkrc.2.0 file, but it seems to do nothing, here is my .gtkrc.2.0 file:
| Code: |
gtk-font-name = "Lucida 9"
|
However, no matter what I put in there, it seems to do nothing. Any ideas? the same goes for about any other program that I run as well.

| Try using x11-themes/gtk-theme-switch to write your gtkrc for you. There's probably some sort of include statement you need at the beginning of the file (I switched to KDE so I haven't fucked around with gtkrc in a while). |

ok, briefly reading through the manual, it reads them files to get configureation. I just want to change my font.. does it wnat me to download a theme somewhre to use? If so.. where do I get a theme? or what do I even look for? I looked at "theme.gtk.org" but I dont know what to look for.

The file should be named .gtkrc-2.0 and not .gtkrc.2.0. look for the hypen or dash, what ever you call it.
if it still doesn't work try changing the content of the file to look something like
| Code: | style "user-font"
{
#replace with your desired font name
font_name="Tahoma 9"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font" |

Unless you are running some obscure new versions of gaim and openbox i don't see a reason why this should be in the US forum.
