What would you like to do : Offline or Online ?" I choose Online and I can receive and send my mails ? So my question : what to do to stop this message ? Thanks, cheers, André

How to change textcursor in TDE ?
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 12 Jul '25

12 Jul '25

Hi all! Is there a way to change the text cursor in TDEs text input fields? I have the naging problem, that the cursor is 1px wide and thus barely visible on HDPI displays. In an ideal world I could change that to a blinking block cursor or at least to a wider bar cursor. Did anybody coma across a way to do that in TDE?

Konqueror and url/task bar
by ajh-valmer 08 Jul '25

08 Jul '25

Hello, Sorry, me again. On my computer number 1, with Konqueror, at the right on the top, url/task bar, I have a field to seek a file, or a part of a file, it's very practical, if we have many files. Please, see the attached image "konqueror2.png". On my computer number 2, I don't have this field on the right, only the url/task bar. So I cannot seek a file. Please, see the attached image "konqueror1.png". Why on the same system Debian upgraded on two computers, Konqueror does not display the same configuration ? Thanks, cheers. André

kmix and usb soundcards?
by Rody 29 Jun '25

Now it gets weird: Even though the HDA Intel device is selected (the default soundcard on the motherboard), the sound is actually coming from the rubix... I'm puzzled... Regards, Rody

Mascot naming
by Alejo Fernandez 23 Jun '25

23 Jun '25

Hello! As you all know, The Dragon has been added a "T" to the Scarf in many images at TDE Gitea, and I made a sandbox for the Trinity Desktop Project Wiki with information about the 'Tonqi' mascot, but as you've suggested, they're unsure of the name 'Tonqi'. So I'm asking you to decide on a name for TDE's mascot. P.S. The link to the article and/or sandbox is here: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/User:SleeperGuy/sandbox/Tonqi

Desktop media icon preview turning it off?
by Curt Howland 18 Jun '25

18 Jun '25

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Good morning. Yesterday I had a crash when moving a file icon to a thumb drive while the previously moved file icons were being deleted. The crash recovered almost instantly and I haven't seen any repercussions. Except... Now when I leave the mouse pointer over a media file icon, it starts to play it. The media player is not launched, it's just done as a preview. I found under "properties > preview" a "play automatically" check box, which I have unselected. I tried toggling that, but it did not work to stop the mouse-over preview. Can someone point me to where to turn this feature off globally?

dropbox system tray disappeared
by Uwe Brauer 15 Jun '25

15 Jun '25

Hi all I am running Ubuntu 24.04 and 4:14.1.3 I have been warned in the last weeks the support for the system tray might be dropped and as of today it did. While in Ubuntu with the native Gnome desktop the tray is still visible, in trininty it is not. Is there anybody using Dropbox and the file synchronization? Did anybody find a workaround. For me this is a real loss because I relied quite a bit on it. Dropbox still works but I have no direct way of knowing whether a syncrhonization worked, how much space I am using, other than running the command line which is annoying Uwe Brauer
