[manjaro-dev] confusion over gconf settings

[kendell clark]

hi
Your theme sounds a lot better than what we were using. The problem is,
I don't know how to change this. Do you? If so, I can quickly change
this in our mate profiles. I just got the new mate settings package,
I'll build a test image to see if everything works.
Thanks for all your help
Kendell Clark
