Ohhhh, nononono. I was messing around with that anyways , trying to move the panels around. Definitely not your fault dude. I should've phrased that differently, didn't mean to make it sound like I was blaming you.

Yo!Dude!

I found a v.simple way of removing home label.

Just run vi /usr/share/themes/$DEFAULTMBTHEME/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

(Defaultmbtheme (mb = matchbox) is a variable pointing to your currently set theme)

Change:
style "osso-TitleFont" {
font_name = "Nokia Sans 16.75"
}

to:

style "osso-TitleFont" {
font_name = "Nokia Sans 0"
}

Change theme and change back

The menu icon could be removed by taking the right image out but it will remove it for all windows. I'll seeif I can recompile hildon-desktop.

Your apps will still show the title, just not the desktop.
The bit that displays the desktop is called hildon-desktop which is configured by the gtkrc file. Other windows are managed by matchbox, which uses the theme.xml.
Because the desktop is separate and uses a different file, it can be done independently of each other.

Here is my proof,with screenies . (look at times)




Edit; Benson has provided a sed line here:

Haven't tested it but it should work in theory.

Wow! ^this works on the echo theme (default) but when I go to /usr/share/themes/nuvoclear/gtk-2.0/gtkrc in Emelfm2 and hit edit, Emel crashes and Xterm reports "segment fault".???

Thanks BTW, this opens up a whole world of themes configured by hand.

YoDude --

Did you, by chance, have nuvoclear as your current theme at the time? If so, try the edit after (temporarily) switching to a different theme.

I don't have nuvoclear installed (it's todo ) but I think it seems more like a editor problem. If you can use vi (i know only the basics), try that or use my favourite, leafpad. I'll grab the nuvoclear to try it out.

Np . i'm gonna try moving the close and minimise buttons to the left for fun . It's how I actually changed my font systemwide.

You're probably using nuvoClear at the moment; try switching to a different theme, edit, and switch back?

If this is the problem, then YOU, not the shell, must expand $DEFAULTMBTHEME...

Wouldn't that be Not sufficiently general, of course; it ought to match anything interpretable by GTK+, and I'm not sure what GTK+ uses to parse this, and specifically what whitespace and doublequoting is mandatory, but it should work.

Edit: Ha, beaten.

BTW, I'm now rockin' this on mine with nuvoClear; it's sweet for portrait, but I'm missing the menu button, too... Not that having a ninja menu bothers me, it's just odd that I don't have it on home, and do on app windows. Now that that's gone, all we need is the ability to extend the statusbar... why, oh why, is this not configurable?

Ok, briand may be right. You are editing a gtk file with a program using gtk

I did it with vi:

you are not the first person to think, utter, or type these words.

seriously -- glad to have helped.

Yup, did that. The default theme was able to be edited using Emel however, the nuvoclear file seems much larger so it may in fact be a limitation of Emelfm...

I'll copy the file out, edit it with notepad or sutt'n', then copy over the existing one and see what happens.

Just run this as root:
Saves all the headaches of file transfer and UNIX/DOS conversions.
