Bug Description

The Help File ( ->Help -> Contents ) is System Monitor Manual V2.1 and describes features not present
In gnome-system-monitor (2.22.3).

In that manual I found instruction on how to change the background color but the controls described there I cannot find in the application. I refer to help section -> Preferences -> 4.2 Resources which describes Background Color and Grid Color controls that are missing from the application at -> Edit -> Preferences -> Resources.

The following sections in the help file describe actions missing from the application: 3.13.1 (to change the background color of graphs) and 3.13.2 (to change the grid color of graphs) as the controls described in those sections are missing from the application.

The update to fix the help file should probably link to the theme editor, or wherever the relevant controls have been relocated.

thanks for the report, the background color is set by the theme you're using (GtkNotebook property) there's no way right not to change that with the gnome-system-monitor itself, and yes the documentation is out of date, please fill another report about that. closing this report,thanks in advance.

using (GtkNotebook property) there's no way right not to change that
with the gnome-system-monitor itself, and yes  the documentation is out
of date, please fill another report about that.  closing this
