Customizing System Guidelines II
Multimedia: Sound
You can use the Sound caplet to set the sounds for a wide range of GNOME system events. First, click the Sound Events tab, then highlight an event to which you wish to attach the sound.The Select sound file dialog box opens. Choose a sound for the event that you have highlighted, click on the Browse button and navigate to the appropriate .wav file on your hard disk. You can preview this sound by clicking on the Play button in the Control Center window.
Desktop: Window Managers
You can add window managers by selecting that option in the Control Center, and clicking the Add button in the top-right corner. In the Add New Window Manager dialog box, enter the name, the commands and the paths required for launching the new window manager with its configuration tool. To switch Window Managers, select the required name from the list and click the Try button. An Information panel tells you that your current session needs to be saved, and how to do it, either now or later. You are now switched to the new window manager.
The User Interface
The User Interface (UI) options involve changing the look and feel of applications that are GNOME compliant. UI options include detachable toolbars and menu bars, and the look of borders, icons, and status bars. The UI caplet is really for advanced users. If you are unsure about any of the options offered here, don’t risk making an error that you might later regret.
File Manager Preferences
One way to access the preferences for the Gnome File Manager is to right-click on the desktop and choose Desktop Properties from this pop-up menu that appears on-screen. The Preferences dialog box opens. It comprises five tabs: File Display Confirmation, VFS (Virtual File System), Catching and Desktop. The Desktop settings determine the positioning and appearance of text and icons on the desktop.
Note: There are two further capplets that you need to know. First, the Session Manager Capplet. This caplet allows you to control the GNOME Session Management, which specifies the programs that start up, how you save your GNOME configuration and how you log out. Second, the GNOME Edit Properties Capplet- With this caplet, you can select which editor will be your default editor while using GNOME. This will allow application like the GNOME File Manager to launch the correct editor when you try to open files associated with editing. All the popular text editors are included in the selection list.
