- Mandriva works very very well with Lazrus. On other platforms you get the ugly "motif" like theme.
It seems that the "gnome-control-center" is not connected to the theme that lazarus uses. This has to do with GTK-1 GTK-2 difference, I think. Those who are skilled, can play with some hidden files and configure the theme in GTK-1 and get their Lazarus very clear in Suse for example. (see the forum for a list of tricks) One solution to improve the situation (apart from switching to GKT2) would be to have a small utility program that would come with the lazarus package in order to set some configuration file. I don't know how, but may be that would not be too difficult to write, once someone knows which file is wrong. On Tue, 2006-05-16 at 18:04 +0200, Sebastian Kraft wrote: > > > > 3.
