[BillK]

FDOM has a fix that works - details are uin the following email between John Lee and myself on the community list:

Fonts and widgets are far too large on apps like pythm, tangogps and the
like.

Fixed by adding the gtkrc fix from FDOM

Should I raise a bug for this - I think it is an old issue (as evidenced
by the fact that FDOM has had the fix for awhile)

Please do since I couldn't find it in trac. Here is the diff between the
old gtkrc from moko-gtk-engine and the one from FDOM:

I don't have enough knowledge to comment on it. The second section
seems strange to me though, because it assumes files will be installed
to /usr/share/themes/Moko/gtk-2.0/ while this should really be decided
by autotools.

Could someone please review it? If it's okay I'm going to apply it to
svn.

Sorry, missed filling out some of the details :(

2008.testing of ~1st Dec 2008

One clue: if upgrade from Om2008.9 then om calculator2 and om mediaplayer2 will look fine.

[john_lee]

I just flashed testing image 3rd Dec, calculator and mediaplayer both appear to be normal. I think that means apps without their own setting in moko-gtk-theme will use bad defaults. Will try tangogps later.

tango-gps

[john_lee]

tango-gps seems to be quite normal. I'm running 3rd Dec image without any modification, just opkg install tango-gps . Now I'm really running out of ideas.
