Is there a way to not have borders around windows? Or at least the side vertical borders? I am using TDE Classic Style. When I am reading an online article in a web browser, often I "fling" the mouse pointer to the left edge of the screen to keep the pointer out of the way of reading text. I use the mouse scroll wheel to move down the page. With TDE I can't do that because when the pointer hovers over that left edge window border the effect is to kill scrolling. I have to continually bump the mouse pointer to the right to get off the border. I do not experience this in other desktop environments. Memory muscle and habits are difficult to change. So I am thinking this is a property of twin. Thanks. DA

Is Bluetooth free?

by lee892533＠gmail.com

Yes, the songs are transmitted to your headphones, but that's over a paired Bluetooth connection between the headphone and the phone. And there's no cost to that. You only pay for the data transmitted to your smart device over the phone company's network by way of using the app. https://spacebarcounter.org

Error - Kicker; Malformed URL; system:/

by Felix Miata

I see this error popup on various installations. The instant one is a 32bit Bookworm freshly upgraded from Bullseye with 14.0.12. Bullseye does it too. The trigger is left clicking on the menu starter. On those where it ever occurs, it only happens once. Trying again after dismissing the popup always works. Anyone familiar with it, what to do to eliminate it? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Do we want to participate in social networks?

by Slávek Banko

Hi all, some time ago I was thinking about whether we want to become an active member of social networks with our project. Things like Facebook and Twitter have always been "no go" zones for me. However, I've been thinking about the Mastodon platform for a long time. Mastodon is a decentralized platform for publishing short messages and pictures. It is based on open source architecture and therefore this platform is close to our ideas. You can see profiles of other projects like @kde@floss.social, @gnome@floss.social, and others. I assume that it would help to "make us visible" and information could be published there, for example about the release of new versions, or some useful information regarding development, screenshots, solving issues and community info. Does it seem like a good idea for us to have an official communication channel for our project on Mastodon? What is your opinion on this? Cheers -- Slávek

Packages with invalid signatures

by Mateus Rocha

Hello, people! I tried to reinstall Trinity here on Mageia 8(64 bit), but after downloading some packages for the installation using urpmi, the "Invalid Signature" message has showed up on all of them. I tried different mirrors as well, but I still have no success. Yes, I followed the installation instructions for Mageia on the TDE wiki. So, maybe there is a problem on the packages, on the repos, or the problem is on my end. Regards, Mateus Rocha

Font colours for the session tabs in Konsole

by J Leslie Turriff

Hi, I'm trying out a home-made dark theme, and almost everything is working nicely, but the Fonts in the session tabs in Konsole are coming out black on dark grey (see the attached snapshot), making them very hard to read. Which of the colours in the Widget Colour pane of Appearance & Themes => Colors is associated with that part of Konsole? Leslie

Re: OpenOffice 4 wants gtk2-tqt-engine [SOLVED]

by J Leslie Turriff

Well, it turns out that my problem had nothing to do with Trinity (which is what I was assuming); there were bits of an older release of OpenOffice lurking in my system. I removed them and reinstalled OO, and it's working now. Thanks for your suggestions.
