Some control theme options can be slow on systems with limited CPU resources. To reduce CPU usage, use one of the following control options:
Default
Mist
Simple
ThinIce
To change the control theme option, run the following command:
# gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme option-name
For example, to use Simple, run the following command:
# gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme Simple
Alternatively, users can use the Theme
preference
tool to select the appropriate option.
