I'm seeing some issues with the rendering of the default theme on Fedora 10 beta (and all later updates). There is a screen shot attached which shows the issues. The device is a eeePC 901 with a 1024x600 res screen with intel graphics. Some of the issues include: - Min/Max/Close buttons a separated - Clock date/time font too big for panel - Task text at bottom too big for panel - Menu text is a much better size but it looks to be top aligned rather than vertically centred. The text in general seems to be quite large, but that might be me being use to larger res screens. One example is that the ekiga startup config wizard doesn't fit to the screen (nor evolution but its generally massive).

Is your DPI set correctly? Anyway, icons are obviously rendered OK, so this bug (well, it's probably two different bugs) should be filled under different component.

If that number is incorrect for the screen res (in pixels)/screen real size (in inches) than I'd guess it's a problem with xorg detecting wrongly the size of your display. If it's correct and the font sizes are aroud 10pt (I think that's the default setting) then I guess the default is not optimised for ultra-small screens... > > > Anyway, icons are obviously rendered OK, so this bug (well, it's probably two > > different bugs) should be filled under different component. > > What component would that be? Not sure, check the comments above, it might help a little.
Moving to nodoka-theme-gnome (closest match to nodoka-metacity-theme so presume they're built from same src package) but as a note this eeePC has never had F-9 installed on it, it was clean install from Live-CD to F-10 Alpha, then another clean Live-CD to F-10 Beta. Will investigate the screen size/res issue too.

I've checked the image you attached once again and it seems you have compositing turned on so I guess you have compiz tunred on (unless you tweaked with metacity gconf settings for compositing). Based on my experience with F10 Beta (and F9 as well) I presume the issue is that the nodoka metacity theme is rendered wrong when using compiz instead of metacity for some reason (it's rendered correctly when using metacity, even on F10 beta). > Will investigate the screen size/res issue too. Please use another bug for that then (since it's unrelated) ;-)
Created attachment 320059 [details] Another screen shot
Yes, I'm running compiz. Just enabled straight through the Desktop Effects. I've attached another screenshot where the menu fonts have changed size (seems a little random).
I'm changing the bug description to better fit what this bug is about. Please file another bug (or mention it in fedora-test-list) for the fonts problem, but I guess it might be just that the screen size is too small (and has high DPI) which makes the fonts (as font size is in real-world units, not in pixels) too big (relatively to the screen size).
I've seen compiz render the metacity theme incorrectly and reported the bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465470 along with one fix (upgrade to compiz 0.7.8).
