There is little to be tweaked at this moment. That will improve in the future - maybe it's enough to install another theme?

applets from /usr/share/gnome-panel/4.0/applets

You can't: (from the wiki) "The contents of the panel are entirely system-owned: this communicates a clear delineation of role to users and promotes the identity of the desktop as a separate entity from applications, as does the visual styling of the panel. This styling has also been designed in order to be non-distracting and to enable users to focus on the task at hand."

To repeat an old saying often said when such things are asked: "It will be released when it's ready."

One must remember, just because the parent, ie GNOME, released 3.0, doesn't mean that all the package maintainers need o do is push a switch or run a copy command to release it in community. Al kinds of things from testing also have to be released, and such.

As much as I am eager for GNOME 3 to be available for me to get my grubby little hands on, I'd much rather the maintainers make certain that it and all required components can be released without several borking a majority of the user's systems; than having to take time to answer "when can I get it" questions that are repeatedly asked in 11111+ threads.

In fact there is an option in dconf, to use small icons in toolbar (org.gnome.desktop.interface->toolbar-icons-size) but it does not seem to have any effect =/

You can edit the css-style of the theme.

@mango123: the items in the gnome-shell panel can not be edited at the moment. (maybe with future extensions or something like that)

Hund · 2011-04-07 17:11:45

Not even the fallback mode worked for me, craptastic! I hope it will be way more stable very soon.

okubax · 2011-04-07 19:09:25

The GDM doesn't display the my username on the login box screen anymore, it only displays 'other' and I have to input the username manually and then the password, anyone else experiencing this or is it only me?

Lowra · 2011-04-07 19:58:18

I made a Clean ArchLinux install under Virtualbox specially to test Gnome 3.
I did everything indicated in the wiki page of Gnome 3

Good news: It starts.
Bad news: It starts in Fallback Mode, saying that my graphics does not support the "normal" mode. I own an Intel core i3 350M CPU, which had an graphic chipset, with open sourced drivers.

I installed both the xf86-video-intel, and xf86-video-vesa drivers.

I'm not very familiar with Virtualbox, I can't make an "hard" install right now, but I'll enjoy to test Gnome 3, so if you have any clue...

Thank you

wonder · 2011-04-07 20:03:17

@Lowra virtualbox emulates a video card and is not using your system one, therefor xf86-video-intel is kinda useless.

Yep, I've been thinking that. So there is NO way to make Gnome 3 works in the normal mode under Virtualbox ? It's sad, I wanted really tried it

zenlord · 2011-04-07 20:19:09

Shotwell needs a rebuild I guess:

$ shotwell
shotwell: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkit-1.0.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Actually, 3D acceleration should generally work in Virtualbox >3.0 for Linux. See this http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=28088
Also, you can check IRC chan of the virtualbox guys: irc://irc.freenode.org/vbox

There is one bug in Gnome 3, when you go to dconf-editor and set to Draw Background with Folders etc then you have to open nautilus first to make it visible, same after reboot - firstly nautilus and then its visible. The same thing on two different PCs.

Hund · 2011-04-07 21:58:20

Im only getting "Failed to load "gnome" session?

Edit: Nevermind.

Edit: How do I change the Metacity theme and add buttons? Kinda annyoing to not have any buttons at all.

It's no more Metacity, but Mutter. Try gnome-tweak-tool.

PhuniX · 2011-04-08 10:02:09

Gnome 3 works fine now !

From AUR, I'have installed Elementary's icons pack and set up it with gnome-tweak-tool. But the theme from deviant art don't work.

Shotwell work now with the community-testing package and liferea with testing package.

Ockonal · 2011-04-08 13:09:19

Now it's in testing, cool. I like it. But the only fail I see is nautilus:

nautilus: error while loading shared libraries: libgnome-desktop-2.so.17: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I can't run it. Any ideas?
