Re: [platform-swt-dev] Using classic theme in swt.browser on Linux / moz

[Thomas Bley <thbley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

thanks for the hints, I'm using ubuntu-6.06-rc-desktop-i386 without any 
changes to mozilla files.
Looking at "/usr/lib/mozilla/chrome/chrome.rdf" (linked to 
/var/lib/mozilla/chrome/chrome.rdf) I found this code:

 <RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mozilla:package:global"
                  
c:baseURL="jar:resource:/chrome/toolkit.jar!/content/global/"
                  c:locType="install"
                  c:displayName="Toolkit"
                  c:author="mozilla.org"
                  c:name="global"
                  c:localeVersion="1.7"
                  c:skinVersion="1.5">
   <c:selectedSkin RDF:resource="urn:mozilla:skin:modern/1.0:global"/>
   <c:selectedLocale RDF:resource="urn:mozilla:locale:en-US:global"/>
 </RDF:Description>

I changed (as root):
   <c:selectedSkin RDF:resource="urn:mozilla:skin:modern/1.0:global"/>
To:
   <c:selectedSkin RDF:resource="urn:mozilla:skin:classic/1.0:global"/>

and the classic theme comes up for all users. It seems that the custom 
chrome.rdf in the user's profile gets ignored.

bye
Thomas
