= Gnome 3 Desktop Settings =
''The upgrade to Debian Wheezy also updated the Gnome Desktop. Until yet, some new features have been added, some other things will not work anymore. Here you will find some of the most requested features.''

== Change Window Manager Settings ==
We recommend to use the '''gnome-tweak-tool''' to edit settings like window theme, font, font size... <<BR>>
(!) Good readable settings:
 . Font size: 10
 . Default font: Verdana
 . Window title font: Verdana Bold
 . Window theme: Choose your favourite

== Customize the Menu ==
'''alacarte''' is a menu editor for the GNOME desktop, written in python.

== "Del"-Key does not work in Nautilus ==
Run '''dconf-editor''', and open: <<BR>>
'''org -> gnome -> desktop -> interface''' <<BR>>
Enable "'''can-change-accels'''".

'''Open nautilus, select any file/directory, then click "Edit" from menubar, and hover on "Move to Trash" menuitem. While hovering, click on your delete key. The accel should change from "Ctrl+Del" to "Delete".'''

Make sure you have selected a file, else the "Move to Trash" menuitem will be greyed out.

I suggest you disable "can-change-accels" afterwards, to prevent accidental accel changes.

== Search in Nautilus is not working ==
'''Delete''' old tracker data
 . '''~/.local/share/tracker'''
 . '''~/.cache/tracker'''
Now it should work correctly.

== Strange behaviour in sort function of Nautilus ==
Could also be related to stored settings from previous Nautilus versions. First, close Nautilus and try to reset the following directories:
{{{
mv ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus /scratch/gconf.apps.nautilus.bak
mv ~/.nautilus /scratch/.nautilus.bak
}}}

== Remove icons from panel ==
To remove icons from the panel press and '''hold Alt while right-clicking the icon'''.

== Not working yet ==
 * Gnome Drawers: At the time of writing there is still no alternative.
 * System Monitor Applet
