Fedora Installation and customization
How to upgrade with Preupgrade
As root, update the system, install pre-upgrade and run preupgrade
# yum update # yum install preupgrade # preupgrade
If the message Oh no something has gone wrong, is coming up after upgrade to Fedora 16, them remove `.gnome*` and `.gconf*` folders from home and root directories, then reboot the system.
How to setup Desktop workspaces
On Fedora 15 the default manager is Gnome 3, which doesn't handle the workspaces as expected on multiple screen. Than means only the main monitor changes the workspace but the additional monitor keeps with the same desktop.
In order to fix this, install gconf-editor and run it, then navigate to desktop > gnome > shell > windows and uncheck the workspaces_only_on_primary box.
To finish the setup do a logout and login back to see the changes.
How to setup Desktop icon for applications
On Fedora 15/16 dektop icons must be placed on `/usr/share/applications`
How to set the size of Applications icons
The applications icons under Activities can be resized on `/usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css`.
Look at the section `/* Apps */` and change the values for:
.icon-grid { ... }
.contact-grid { ... }
.icon-grid .overview-icon { ... }
When finish, press Alt+F2 and type `r` in order to reload Gnome desktop and see the changes.
