GNOME Color Chooser - A great tool

Scribbled on Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

  • Look at the icon text on desktop, they could be unreadable if the background image is light.

  • Check the boxes corresponding to Icon Labels frame as shown below, now it looks good, u can set the custom color for icon texts and background and even the background opacity.

  • This Selection Box looks more Vista-ish, so lets make it Debian-ish..lol

  • Check the options under Slection Box , set custom color from color pallette, and opacity too (I like things transparent)

  • This one is a performance feature, as per my experience, you can see pics beside text in any button, here “Close”, “Apply” and “Help” have pics beside text, I want to get rid of them.

  • To remove the icons beside texts check the deactivate (stock) icons checkbox under Buttons, as simple as it is

  • This scrollbar bugs me with its current fatty width, I crave for slim beauties, so lets make it one

    This tutorial is very good, but the choice for the wallpaper i think is not the best, since it can be offensive for some women, when women are so welcome in the GNU/Linux community… I would feel a bit concerned on reccomending a female friend about this tutorial, it’s like one time i needed to show, for example, what about were SGI Indigo, and the Wikipedia page about it had a sexist wallpaper… I think you can get the point… =/
