Window borders
by Darrell Anderson 19 Mar '25

19 Mar '25

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 09 Jan '25

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

Who controls XF86RaiseVolume / XF86LowerVolume?
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 30 May '24

30 May '24

Hi all! Does anybody know which part of TDE controls XF86RaiseVolume / XF86LowerVolume? I need to remap these 2 keys to XF86LaunchA / XF86LaunchB but TDE always answers with the OSD volume bar, even when I remap the beys with xmodmap ...

pointer size adjust
by Felix Miata 06 May '24

06 May '24

Where in KControl or elsewhere does one go to make pointer and I-bar large enough to notice? In peripherals is only (4) mouse cursor themes, where exist no controls for any sizes. The pointer in TDM is about 4X as large as in TDE sessions, and appropriate for my needs. Is there a separate package to provide pointer controls that isn't required in a base installation? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

Re: how to kill zombies

My `ps' man page says there is no such status. > There was 'W' in the 2.6 kernel series, but I assume your system isn't that > archaic. (Or is it?) > Hi Jim! My machine is fairly new, only a couple years old, and I am running Devuan Daedalus, upgraded within the last month. Here are some snips from top. I am only showing lines that relate to zombies or those mysterious processes with the label w. (For security reasons, I prefer not to show everything all at once about my system; such as, e.g., my user name.) Please see attachments. As you can see, I only have one zombie at present -- didn't try to track down what processes are involved -- but at times there have been as many as dozens. They seem to come in dozens or half-dozens, by the way, for reasons unknown to me: above a certain number, they always seem to come in multiples of 6 or 12, like 24, 36, 42. When it gets to be a couple dozen zombies, this irks me, and that's when I want to call in the zombie-killing experts. No, I don't think it's "good" for so many zombies to persist after their parents have quit running, but I also don't notice that my system runs any worse. When I thought that I had identified one of my zombies as one of those mysterious w processes, and tried to kill that, that's when I shut down my session and lost my work; which, obviously, was worse that putting up with zombies. It seems to me that the mysterious w is not any one process, but rather a kind of process that has become a zombie. Otherwise, there could not be, as sometimes happens, half a dozen processes named w. As for the age of my machine or system: the nature of Devuan in spirit is more deliberately set against newfangled shiny toys, and tends to rely on the more reliable stone tools used the hardcore caveman geeks. Bill P.S. Apologies if I sent some duplicate emails. For some reason, my response to Jim, with attachments, did not go through. Please consider this one to be the authorized version ... if it goes through.

I don't think there is a mechanism in KDE3 or Trinity to dynamically size the cursors, but while I was poking around looking for additional ones, I found "Material Cursors" on this web page <https://www.debugpoint.com/best-cursor-themes/> (among some other intriguing ones). "Material Cursors, a longstanding favourite among Linux users, offers a visually captivating cursor theme that has garnered a dedicated following. With three colour variants, namely Material (Blue Grey), Dark, and Light, and multiple size options ranging from 24 to 64 pixels, this cursor theme caters to a wide range of preferences and desktop environments." (In fact, several of the other cursor packages in this article have multiple sizes; and the Gnome-Looks website has lots of others as well.)

lock session menu entry
by Felix Miata 29 Apr '24

29 Apr '24

Is there any way to get it out of my menus? Alternatively, is there a way to move it where it won't likely get hit by accident, which is the frequent problem here? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
