If you're using 5.3 there's an older version of Gnome on there you can try
out. If used Gnome on S.u.S.E. and RedHat and haven't noticed a big
difference. I haven't used the S.u.S.E. rpms, though, nor have I heard any
bug reports. The version I'm using now is cvs checked out I think the day
before christmas. I've been compiling sources and running them out of CVS
for months now.
How do you mean how do you change the widgets? Do you mean how do you
change the themes gtk is using? If so--- at least for the latest gnome,
changing themes is part of the control panel. You start that up and then
pick a theme from that. Or you install or create a theme and then copy the
gtkrc to $HOME/.gtkrc. ( This has changed a couple of times--how you do it
). THe way it is now, gtk will parse the gtkrc in $HOME, when you fire up
gnome.
I might add: gnome is still not quite there....but it's improving fast. I
think it's much further along than it was say 2 or 3 months ago. Nice
theme support, more apps, more features built right into it. I think it's
definately worth playing with if you have the time. Though personally, I'd
grab the latest gnome 'release' 0.99.1 or CVS ---as opposed to the older
version that shipped with 5.3 so you can see some of the things that have
been added and changed since then.
