Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-themes-ubuntu

I'm not sure if this is intentional: the Karmic version of the dust themes now shows the Applications/Places/System menu in bold (much like the Shiki themes), but the gnome-panel clock also shows in bold, which takes up more real estate on the screen. (Jaunty's version had neither in bold.)

Yes, it is intentional. I'm actually unsure if the bold text is better.

I quite like the way that Shiki does it, with bold text for the Applications/Places/System menu but normal text for the clock, simply because otherwise the clock uses up lots of space. Of course, having Applications/Places/System in bold also takes up more space :(

Just upgraded from jaunty to karmic, and the dust theme still has the bold text. Is there some way to switch it back?

The change didn't make it to karmic. You can use the newest release of Dust, though.

Hi, you could try this to remove the bold texts on the panel (I don't know if there's a better way out there though)

-------------------------------------
Just open up your home folder and make sure you can view all hidden files, look for the file .gtkrc-2.0

If the file isnt there open up your text editor and create one, put this into that file:

style "modpanel"
{
font_name = "Sans 9"
fg[NORMAL] = "#060606"
}
widget "*PanelWidget*" style "modpanel"
widget "*PanelApplet*" style "modpanel"
widget "*fast-user-switch-applet*" style "modpanel"

Thats it! Just save the file. And into the terminal put :

killall gnome-panel

Now you got readable fonts in gnome panel.
