Hi.

Is it possible to only change the font on the Window List items in MATE? I'd like to make them bold and slightly bigger.

Thanks.

using dconf-editor navigated to /org/mate/panel/objects/window-list/ and it shows applet-iid = WnckletFactory::WindowListApplet

maybe find that in theme definition file and figure out how to adjust fonts. But I'm not certain this is what you actually need.

Hi djk44883. I don't see an option for 'window-list'.

Last resort, this will change "everything". This isn't what you're asking for, but if it gets you what you want - it may work.

Launch

Code:

 mate-appearance-properties

On the Fonts tab adjust each a little until you find the one affecting window list properties... supposedly

Alas, that's overkill. But thanks anyway. It might solve one issue but end up making more.

Hence the last resort.

I recall a time when I'd add some entry to a file like a .gtkrc-2.0 but we've grown past that.
