"About ubuntu"


In the "system" menu in gnome panel of ubuntu there is a category named "About Ubuntu". I want to modify the name, the content and the logo of this, any suggestions?

If it is not accessible with the menu editor, you will need to dig around in the configuration files. I'm not sure how Ubuntu does this, but start in your home folder, looking for filenames containing the word "menu" and/or the suffix ".desktop" or ".xml". You will typically find two versions of the file---on in your home, and the other somewhere in /usr (eg /usr/share). The latter is the system-wide configuration, ane the former is generally the changes for your personal config.

If all else fails, search for files containing the phrase "About Ubuntu"
