Feb 18, 2009After much Google-ing and headaches I finally found out how to change the Gnome Menu Icon in F10. I love the Echo Icon theme, but I hate that Pac Man main menu icon. I had to get rid of it. Here's how to change that icon--and even to replace the standard "Infinity" icon with a much nicer version--or even switch that out for something totally different.
First, enable GUI root logon. This makes copying/pasting the icon to the protected icon folder much easier. Here's how [URL]When you have completed that, log out. When you get to the GDM login choose "Other" enter "root" in Username and then your root password. Now you're logged in as root.
Go to USR/Share/Pixmaps and there are a few nice Fedora icons. There's the "Infinity" logo but it's a much nicer, shinier version of the standard one. It's called "fedora-logo-sprite". But if you're feeling adventurous then try--as I did--"fedora-logo-small", which is the fedora name and a small "Infinity" logo (there's also the "Powered by Fedora" icon too). Copy one of those and paste it to Home or Desktop, or wherever you want. You just want to put it somewhere to stage. Now change the name to "start-here".
Now go to /USR/Share/Icons/(name of icon set using)/24x24/places/ and remove the "start-here" icon (send to Trash). Go to where you staged your replacement icon, copy it, go back to the /USR/Share/Icons/(icon set used)/24x24/places/ folder and paste it. Be sure to empty the Trash Can before you log off as Root User. Log off/ log back on as "you" and the icon should appear. I used the "Fedora (Infinity)" logo as Main Menu instead of the Menu Bar and it works great. The "Powered by Fedora" icon would look great too.

Jun 13, 2009The Gnome desktop environment in Fedora permits a range of themes to be used, including icon sets. Some themes will include an icon for the Gnome Main Menu that you may or may not like including the default Fedora "infinity" Main Menu icon.Most launchers, whether on the desktop or on a Gnome panel, will permit you to change the individual icon. The Gnome Main Menu offers no such facility. Whereas there have been several challenging methods suggested to change that icon on a system-wide basis, there is an easy and straightforward way to do it on a user account basis.
Note: the method described herein applies only to the single Main Menu icon usually added to a Gnome panel in place of the custom Menu Bar that Fedora creates by default. This method does not work with the default custom Menu Bar. To add the Main Menu to a Gnome panel, right-click a blank area of a panel and select Add to Panel, then select "Main Menu" from the box that appears. Move the Main Menu icon to your desired location by right-clicking it and selecting Move. Remove the original custom Menu Bar by right-clicking it and selecting Remove From Panel.Install Gnome Configuration EditorInstall the Gnome configuration editor program using either System > Administration > Add/Remove Software or the command line (as root):

OpenSUSE :: Change Icon For Main Menu Item (GNOME)?
Feb 3, 2010I downloaded Eclipse and am trying to create a launcher for it in the main menu. I finally figured out that a .desktop file needed to be made in /usr/share/applications, but I can't get the icon to show up. For the "Icon" field in the .desktop file,tried giving an absolute path to an icon in my home folder, and I also tried putting the icon in all the folders under /usr/share/icons and just putting "eclipse" (the icon file name) as the valueI had copied this last from some of the existing .desktop files that worked, but still had no luck. Does anyone know how to do this?

Nov 11, 2010I am wondering how you can change the view of the classic GNOME menu (Applications | Places | System) in 11.3 to the "classic" view (like in Fedora)? The Applications menu has to much sub-menus. I prefer it flat. The nautilus bookmarks are not directly accessible in Places either, which is not really comfortable.

Ubuntu :: Not Possible To Right-click On Another Part Of Menu Bar To Change Menu Properties
Jul 2, 2010I'm brand new to Linux and Ubunto 10.04.On the menu bar at the top of my desktop I seem to have attracted some kind of bug!The Log Out Symbol repeats itself across almost the entire menu bar and I cannot remove it. If I remove other buttons from the menu the space is immediately replaced by more Log Out Buttons.When I hover on the icon I get the message 'Log out of this session to log in as a different user' and when I right-cllick to click on 'Remove from Panel' or 'Move' nothing happens.It is not possible to right-click on another part of the menu bar to change the Menu Properties.

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: GNOME Menu Shortcuts Are Gone?
Jun 8, 2010yesterday I was moving some launchers in the menu editor, going a bit too fast, and I accidentally hit delete on the "Internet" menu. In an attempt to get it back, I deleted ~/.local/share/applications and ~/.gconf/apps/panel, assuming they'd be automatically replaced. I ran the updater today and it updated gnome-panel, so I $ killall gnome-panel 'd just in case, and once again nothing. I have all the custom launchers from ~/.local/share/applications saved onto my desktop, but right now I need all the original launchers back. I don't even have the software management launcher! It just shows me a little tiny black stripe because it's completely empty. BTW, I'm running Lucid 64.
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Persistent Changes To Gnome Menu
Jul 6, 2010I'm trying to figure out how to make persistent changes to the Gnome menu. I know I can make user-specific changes, as defined by Alacarte, but that's not what I need for this machine. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome 2.30.2.
Per freedesktop.org specs I created an entry for a new sub-menu under Applications called Social Networking. I simply copied an existing menu entry and made the appropriate changes.
For example:
<!-- Social Networking -->
<Menu>
<Name>Social</Name>
<Directory>Social-Networking.directory</Directory>
<Include>
<And>
<Category>Social</Category>
</And>
</Include>
</Menu>
Next I created a .desktop file in /usr/share/desktop-directories/ called Social-Networking directory.
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Social
Comment=Social Networking Applications and Utilities
Icon=preferences-system-network
Type=Directory
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gnome-menus
Now, I'm stuck. I can't seem to figure out how to make an application's menu appear in the Social Networking sub-menu. For that matter, I can't even get the Social Networking sub-menu to appear under Applications. I assuming it will appear once I "associate" an applications's menu to the sub-menu, but I'm only guessing right now. I've logged out and back in; I even restarted my machine. Though I am not new to Linux, I am new to Ubuntu and Gnome.
Ubuntu :: Slim Down Big Gnome Menu?
Aug 5, 2010i've posted and read and been through metacity forums, and still cant find a answer to slimming down the Gnome menu. The only way i can get the list shorter (less wasted space between menu entries, going top downwards) is a certain GTK theme (LK OS-K Blue) but i dont care for the metallic theme. i have spend 6 hours tonight tweaking .gtkrc files here and there, with varying results, the spacing is really horrible and makes an otherwise good desktop look horrible.
the fonts are small, unused entries are hidden, resolution is 1600x900. it can be done via a certain Metacity theme, but x=thickness and y=thickness & Treeviews in gtkrc have either no effect, or affect the wrong widgets, scrollbars,buttons or checkboxes. etc. i have compared both themes gtkrc files side by side,too. no progress. i have been chasing this UI 'feature' for months, but now i'm getting fed up. anyone have any better / more detailed info ?
Ubuntu :: Gnome Menu On Right Click?
Aug 10, 2010I have configured my gnome-menu to come up on right click, and ctrl+right-click for the nautilus pop-up menu using this command
Code:
xte "keydown Alt_L" && xte "key F1" && xte "keyup Alt_L" in compizconfig, and setting the button binding to button 3. I had to install a package before this, I don't remember which one though (copy & paste hehehe)
It all works great and it looks good, except for one annoying problem I didnt think of. When I'm playing a game that I need to right-click to perform an action, the menu pops up. (Think StarCraft. Right click to move) Basically what I'm asking is if there is a way to add exception to this? the menu will come up as long as it is not clicked on certain windows?

Ubuntu :: How To Change K-Menu Key
Jun 23, 2010I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 with KDE. I have a keyboard with two Windows keys.Now, in a perfect world I would map the left Windows key to the K-Menu and the right one to that run-panel (or whatever it's called).I switched to Linux a few weeks ago, mainly because it seems like a lot of at least near-perfect things are possible on it. So far I've managed to remap my Windows keys to F13 (left) and F14 (right). But how do I bind them to the K-Menu and that little run-panel (the one you open with <Alt>F2) respectively?
