# Enhancing the GroupWise Client on Linux

How to speed-up and improve the GroupWise linux client appearance

When you want to improve the GroupWise linux client appearance, make a launcher icon and enter the following command:

`/opt/novell/groupwise/client/bin/groupwise -ui=gtk `

And now the java-look has been replaced by a (slightly better looking) GTK look!

This tip will speed up the GroupWise Linux Client by switching it over to GTK. Give it a shot and see what you think.

1\. From the SLED10 console do the following:

`SU {enter admin password}`  
`cd /opt/novell/groupwise/client/bin`  
`vi groupwise`

2\. Modify this:

`/opt/novell/groupwise/client/bin/groupwise-bin "$@" `

so that it says this:

`/opt/novell/groupwise/client/bin/groupwise-bin -ui=gtk "$@"`

3\. Save changes and exit.

GroupWise will now run from the menus in GTK mode.
