RE: Changing fonts in Gnome applications

[Steve Homer <shomer fmco com>]

I'm not sure exactly how this would be implemented, but I do think that if
we are going to change an attribute (font, colour, gtktheme, wm theme
etc...) we should be able to do it by dnd. For example fonts and colours
from dialogs, themes from files. I'm sure there are a lot more things like
this when you get down to it, they are all fairly trivial in themselves (not
so much new functionality as repackaging old) but when used well can give a
really smooth feel to a desktop. Kind of like when you find you cam add
programs to the send to menu in Win95. It's just nice. 

On another track entirely, I've been checking recent reviews of Gnome and
the one thing that has come up time and time again has been the lack of
keyboard shortcuts.

Bring it on!

Steve.

This would be the best... changing a window at a time, or you can set if
globally under the themes section. Of course, the session manager would
have to save the font with the window...
