How to change tdm themes?
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 09 Mar '17

09 Mar '17

Hi all! Is there a way to set themes or colors schemes for tdm? When I go to "kcontrol/System Administration/Login Manager", I can customice some aspects, but Appearance/GUI Style: is ignored by tdm, always "Plastic", Appearance/Color scheme: is ignored by tdm, always "default". /etc/trinity/tdm/tdmrc does partly represent the GUI changes: [X-*-Greeter] ColorScheme=the_selected_color_scheme Theme=@@@ToBeReplacedByDesktopBase@@@ As you can see, "Theme=" is a bit off. Also I cannot find a way to set/select the themes that are in "/opt/trinity/share/apps/tdm/themes" So, does anybody hnow how to change the tdm default theme?

Hmmm... No. ~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu is an XML file containing the structure of the TDE application menu; unfortunately it lists only the filenames (*.desktop) without path information. These are not the files that live in ~/Desktop. I have attached the extracted, sorted list from ~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu, and the sorted list of files in ~/Desktop. But ~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu doesn't help me locate whatever files might be R/O or whatever.

symbols visualize problem
by Istvan Gabor 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

Hello: I have a simple plain text document that contains the following symbols: • − ⋆ ▷ ∘ ◯ ◯ □ In trinity applications (eg kwrite) they are not shown correctly. Instead of the symbols squares are shown. Libreoffice shows the symbols correctly. On another machine which has legacy KDE 3.5.10 the symbols are also shown correctly in kwrite. Whys is this and how can I fix it? I use trinity 14.0.4 in openSUSE 13.2 64 bit. Thanks, Istvan

Apparently in ~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu If that is where those files are, running $ ls -lh ~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu/ will let you know if there is a permissions issue. They should be owned by you and have 644 permissions.

Porting individual trinity programs to Android
by Philip Ashmore 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Hi there. I've got a really great Amarok playlist of songs that I find help me concentrate. I've looked for a means of playing such a playlist on Android without success. If anyone has succeeded in porting a TDE program to Android it would maybe bring this dream a little closer. Please tell me I'm not the only one with such a dream :) Regards, Philip Ashmore

OAuth in KMail?
by dep 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

greetings, everybody . . . this morning i received a fairly alarming note from my ISP, who apparently farms out its mail handling to yahoo (and yahoo seems to have belatedly gotten interested in security). the note specified that i am not using a sufficiently secure mail client (KMail in TDE) and that in a few weeks OAuth will be required. an admittedly brief search has not produced information as to whether this is something that can be enabled in KMail in TDE or, if so, how to enable it. is this something that has come up before? if so, how was it resolved? and if it hasn't, any solutions? thanks very much. -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

Trinity SSL Certificate Status
by Timothy Pearson 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 I just wanted to let you know that the new TDE site SSL certificates have been installed. They are valid until 2020 so we should be good to go for quite some time. QuickBuild is handled somewhat outside of the TDE project itself, but should also be updated in the next month or so. Thank you all again for helping resolve this issue so quickly! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iFYEARELAAYFAliniqMACgkQLaxZSoRZrGHZzwDeMOYKZ/iiC6ZaMaIVXwsXOo0L pprznl0vuy/M4QDgtInLknauKmFtWc3Gmg8/0SQryDP5f/X/75cYOw== =yNSu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I'd suggest a little more research while paying attention to the originating source material (CA's who are losing money). At least one of the FUD sources in your link has been responded to: https://unmitigatedrisk.com/?p=552.

I'll order the replacement certificates shortly, which should reactivate TDE under all major browsers. Thank you all very much for stepping up and helping fix this, I greatly appreciate it!
