Hi,

open Synaptic and select dconf-tools with a right click for re-installation, then try "Dconf Editor > Com > Canonical > Indicator > Datetime > Show Date/Show Day" again.

Wolfman why don't I get these settings?

Show date and day in clock:
Dconf Editor > Com > Canonical > Indicator > Datetime > Show Date/Show Day

Change global font size:
Dconf Editor > Org > Gnome > Desktop > Interface > Text-scaling-factor 1.0 (1.0 = font size 10. and 1.1 would be font size 11 and so on) (Mine is set to 1.2 = Font size 12)

Change icon size on desktop:
Dconf Editor > Org > Gnome > Nautilus > Icon-View > Default-Zoom-Level = Small

Show/Hide buttons:
Dconf Editor > Org > Gnome > Gnome Panel > Layout > Toplevels > Top Panel

Show/Hide Desktop icons = Trash/Computer/Home;
Dconf-Editor > Org > Gnome > Nautilus > Desktop

Stop Media Auto Mounting:
Dconf Editor > Org > Gnome > Desktop > Media-Handling > Automount/Automount-open/Autorun Never

Hi Chris,

I asked you in a different post what version of Zorin you are using, you said it was Zorin 6, but from the pic above with "Gconf-Editor" I see you have Zorin 5 and that is why you cannot run "Dconf-Editor" because it is not available for Z5.

Regards Wolfman

@WM.
I know you have said that for Zorin6 we need dconf editor, but I have installed and used gconf-editor without any problem. You can try and let me know.

Chris2030

Fri Sep 14, 2012 8:50:45 am

As posted before am using Zorin 6 & not 5.

Wolfman

Sun Sep 16, 2012 5:26:30 am

Hi all,

an update on this thread, there was an updated version of Dconf Editor which now looks just like Gconf Editor so hence my confusion. (Thats my excuse and I am sticking to it!!)

I assume Chris that in the meantime you have worked out how to access the various sections of the Dconf Editor??.

My pic looks slightly different to yours as I have a different theme, yours shows arrrows and mine shows plus/minus symbols.

Regards Wolfman
