Click Apply to apply your selections.
 Screen Saver??”Under the Appearance & Themes heading, select Screen Saver. From the
window that appears, select from a list of screen savers. KNOPPIX includes only a blank
screen saver. However, Fedora comes with about 160 different screen savers. My favorite
is Slideshow, where you can have a slide show of images for your screen saver. Click
Setup to identify an image directory or otherwise modify the behavior of the screen saver.
Under settings, select how many minutes of inactivity before the screen saver turns on.
You can also choose Require Password to require that a password be entered before you
can access your display after the screen saver has come on.
If you are working in a place where you want your desktop to be secure, be sure to turn
on the Require Password feature. This prevents others from gaining access to your computer
when you forget to lock it or shut it off. If you have any virtual terminals open, switch to them
and type vlock to lock each of them as well. (You need to install the vlock package if the vlock
command isn??™t available.)
 Fonts??”You can assign different fonts to different places in which fonts appear on the
desktop. Under the Appearance & Themes heading, select Fonts. Select one of the categories
of fonts (General, Fixed width, Toolbar, Menu, Window title, Taskbar, or Desktop
fonts).
