Fedora 16 - how to configure window theme?

[neo_in_matrix]

After I installed Fedora 16, I cannot find the applet that lets me configure window theme (eg, color, icon, button and other styles). Where can I find it?

You need gnome shell tweak tool. The package has similar name, so you can just install it.

The package (and command name) is "gnome-tweak-tool".

Gnome tweak tool only lets you install other peoples themes. How do we exercise our own control over the styles?

Agreed. I want the good old window theme configuration applet.

You can modify certain aspects of any installed theme as far as I know. See the attached image. Or, is this not what you meant?

MATÉ might be a bit overkill if you just want control over themes...

As far as I know, there is no tool for graphically modifying themes in GNOME3 yet, only choosing between existing themes. Themes are built from SVG, XML and CSS files (see /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme and /usr/share/themes/Adwaita for defaults), so Inkscape and a good text editor are all you really need.
