Does Slackware have distribution specific patches
like
Debian and others
do? If so someone might have patched Kaffeine to
resolve this problem on
Slackware.
Sometimes, but not in the case of Kaffeine because Kaffeine is not a stock package. Users
must build and install Kaffeine on their own. There are no patches with Kaffeine. Just the
original upstream source tarball. Therefore the gray OSD and cyan text likely is the
original.
You are correct about our Kaffeine being the last
release
(0.8.8) with TQt
porting. The only thing I can think of is that
possibly Kaffeine is
picking up something odd in your TDE color scheme; if this
is not the case
then this is a bug and will need to be fixed.
I'd like to troubleshoot further before filing a report. :)
Same machine, same card, same settings, but different OSD colors. Weird.
I'll try again and this time delete the config files and build from scratch.
Incidentally I have a physical TV here that displays
similar
characteristics to your other OSD size bug. It seems
that some people
think it's a good idea to resize the OSD based on the
incoming datastream;
I am NOT one of them. ;-) The OSD is supposed to be a
fixed-size status
bar, no different than the physical bank of lights and
channel indicators
on old TV/VCR sets (except less convenient as it has to
disappear).
I'm glad you agree. :) Fortunately my TV uses the same channel information size all
the time. I hope the Kaffeine patch is straightforward. I have been trying my hand at
uploading really simple patches. This one likely is over my head still. :) But if you know
what needs to be done and provide the information I can spend my time trying. ;)
