Most configuration can be accomplished by using the various preference
|
|
settings inside the programs. Additionally, you can create a
|
|
<filename>~/.gtkrc-02</filename> file which can store gtk+-2 theme
|
|
settings that affect <application>Pidgin</application> and other Gtk+ 2
|
|
applications. Note that an example <filename>gtkrc-02</filename> file
|
|
was installed during the package installation and can be used as a
|
|
starting point or reference.
