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

Programs unable to tell where center of screen is when snapping mouse pointer
by bonkmaykr 21 Jun '24

21 Jun '24

Hello. I have a pretty serious issue where many applications cannot properly move the cursor to the center of the screen. For normal desktop use this rarely comes up, but I play a lot of video games on my computer (mostly first person) and for mouse input this becomes an inconvenience at best and gamebreaking at worst. Some examples, results vary: CS2: usually no issues. Running natively The Finals: cursor constantly snaps to top left corner when comms wheel is pulled up, can't use pings correctly. Cursor rarely leaves the screen and enters the second screen on the left causing loss of focus. Minecraft: cursor snaps to the left when opening any menu, even when running using a native JVM In some particularly nasty cases, this can affect camera controls on some desktop applications like Blender and cause erratic movement. Which slows down my workflow quite a bit. It seems like what's happening is that the X11 server has one display spanning across both my monitors and since I have a second monitor on the left the center of the X11 canvas is between the two displays. For other desktop environments this hasn't been an issue but in Trinity I find that this causes some weird sideeffects, like how desktop icons are out-of-bounds by default or how X11 thinks my refresh rate is set to 50hz even though it clearly isn't. What's the quickest workaround to this mouse input issue? Is there any? How do I tell an application/game that the center of my monitor is actually the center of my monitor and not whatever x11 says it is? If that makes any sense. Forgive me if this is a silly question. \-- [bonkmaykr.xyz][] Proud webmaster of KangWorlds. Sent from Proton Mail mobile [bonkmaykr.xyz]: https://bonkmaykr.xyz

LWN.NET: Trinity keeps KDE 3 on life support
by Mike Bird 06 Jun '24

Sounds like a reviewer had issues with a HiDPI laptop. The article is here but a subscription is needed to view it before May 30th 2024: https://lwn.net/Articles/973130/ The discussion is visible in LWN's RSS feed. Thus far I see two short threads: https://lwn.net/Articles/974365/ https://lwn.net/Articles/974381/ Maybe TDE devs can add some useful info to the latter thread.

Who controls XF86RaiseVolume / XF86LowerVolume?
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 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 ...

Kmail spam filtering is, BEYOND BAD :S, or am I doing something wrong?
by Chris M 29 May '24

29 May '24

KMAIL 1.9.10 Yes, I've gone to TOOLS > Anti-Spam Wizard and sat that up. But emails are still getting delivered to the inbox and I am having to right click on the emails and go to APPLY FILTER > MARK AS SPAM. Why does KMAIL not move emails that it thinks is spam, to my " JUNK" folder? Or am I doing something wrong? ============================================================ THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Here's the Kaffeine problem

As I said, no sound. The occasional crackle or alarming pop. Video is fine. EPG is fine. Started it in a terminal and after the expected bitching about not liking my desktop, this: [code] mpeg2_v4l2m2m @ 0x7fff5804e100] Could not find a valid device [mpeg2_v4l2m2m @ 0x7fff5804e100] can't configure decoder [00007fff58013710] avcodec decoder error: cannot start codec (mpeg2_v4l2m2m) [00005556238c9770] main audio output error: too low audio sample frequency (0) [00007fff58053150] main decoder error: failed to create audio output [mpeg2_v4l2m2m @ 0x7fff5804e100] Could not find a valid device [mpeg2_v4l2m2m @ 0x7fff5804e100] can't configure decoder [00007fff58013710] avcodec decoder error: cannot start codec (mpeg2_v4l2m2m) [00007fff40006870] gles2 gl: Initialized libplacebo v4.208.0 (API v208) [mpeg2video @ 0x7fff5804e100] get_buffer() failed [mpeg2video @ 0x7fff5804e100] get_buffer() failed (-12 (nil)) [/code] I suspect that this has something to do with TV signals not being of Debian purity. For a long time Debian would not ship mpeg2 at all because of licensing issues. Maybe somebody here will see this and instantly know the solution. dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/
