I've been looking though the control center and it looks as if you have disabled the "Show window list while switching windows" option, which is under Desktop, in Window behaviour (or maybe something similar, my computer is not in English). Disabling it seems to make the desktop behave just as you described (switching windows immediatly), so I'd try enabling that option. Carlos

Task switching (ALT + TAB) doesn't work in R14.1.0
by Ilya Dogolazky 06 Sep '23

06 Sep '23

Hello! When I press ALT+TAB nothing happens and I can't find any appropriate entry for switching the tasks in keyboard shortcuts (was it ever there? I don't know because ALT+TAB worked just fine without any setting editing). I found something called "Walk Through Windows" -- but it's not the same thing (it switches windows immediately, while the old good ALT+TAB opened the list of windows and switched only after releasing of the ALT key) Any ideas? Cheers, Ilya D.

cups/tde?
by dep 02 Sep '23

02 Sep '23

greets, everybody. for some reason unknown to me, i can no longer print from tde apps. running localhost:631 brings up the cups admin page and i can print a test page just fine. i can print from libreoffice and mozilla. but if i try to print from, say, kpdf, an "initializing printing system" box pops up, then an error saying cups isn't installed or is misconfigured. dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

Kaffeine Audio Visualization is broken?
by J Leslie Turriff 01 Sep '23

01 Sep '23

Does anyone else here use Kaffeine? Since upgrading to R14.1.0, for me the Audio Visualization modules seem to be missing; the default module, goom, does nothing, and if I attempt to switch to another, Kaffeine crashes. Kaffeine player is at level 0.8.8. Leslie -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.4 - x86_64 Desktop Environment: Trinity Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.1.0 tde-config: 1.0

Renaming Konsole session tabs programmatically - SOLVED
by J Leslie Turriff 01 Sep '23

01 Sep '23

I've fiddled with this for quite a while, and I finally have gotten it to work! I wanted the names on the Konsole session tabs to match the last node of the working directory; that makes it much easier to pick the right tab. The change is triggered by bash routine kcd (konsole cd) and the code that actually changes the tab name is changeKonsoleSessionName. I've attached the pieces of code that do the job. (changeKonsoleSessionName is written in Rexx. Sorry, but the string manipulation tools in bash are just awful; but the code is probably clear enough, and could be rewritten by an enterprising person. :-) I was thinking of adding something to change the text colour of the tab, but there doesn't seem to be a DCOP method for doing that. :-( Leslie -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.4 - x86_64 Desktop Environment: Trinity Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.1.0 tde-config: 1.0

kpdf does not show some fonts

Hi all; Maybe somebody can reproduce this: opening the attached pdf in kpdf only shows the formulas, but not the text.

Menu entries for terminal-based applications
by J Leslie Turriff 27 Aug '23

27 Aug '23

I have a terminal-based application that I'm trying to debug. I have created a menu entry for it with Run in Terminal checked. There is also an option to keep the terminal from closing when the application ends, but I can't find it either by using the Menu Editor or by right-clicking the entry in the menu tree and selecting Edit Item. I know I've seen it somewhere (I've used it in the past), but now I can't find it anywhere. Alternatively, is there a value I can set in .local/share/applications/<item>.desktop?

I want my boxdrawing characters
by Felix Miata 18 Aug '23

18 Aug '23

(It seems like this problem only just arose in the weeks since the middle of June, maybe more recently, but at least a month ago.) I often find them replaced by other characters, as in the attachment. The SS is from Tumbleweed, but it happens also in Leap, and also in KDE3's Konsole. Is this an absence of some specific font? If not, what needs to be differently configured for Konsole to always use boxdraw characters when an app or utility is supposed to be using them when used in Konsole? What follows is all from one multiboot PC: # grep RETT /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed" # wpctl status PipeWire 'pipewire-0' [0.3.75, root@ab250, cookie:1948030365] ââ Clients: 31.

Crystalcursors
by Gianluca Interlandi 16 Aug '23

16 Aug '23

Dear TDE list, I installed the Crystalcursors mouse theme. In the past, e.g. in openSUSE 15.2, it worked well with TDE. However, in openSUSE 15.4 with TDE R14.1.0 I get a white arrow as expected for Crystalcursors, but for moving or resizing a window it falls back to the Adwaita default. I now realize that Crystalcursors is not an official trinity package, but probably from KDE3. My question is: Is there an official trinity Crystalcursors package or similar? If not, would it be possible to port the Crystalcursors mouse theme to trinity? Thanks!

Strange window behavior of gvim in TDE
by Gianluca Interlandi 14 Aug '23

14 Aug '23

Hi! I have installed openSUSE 15.4 with the current version of Trinity. It works nicely, thanks! However, gvim has a strange behavior. If I open gvim in LXDE it opens in a normal window and I can resize it like any other window. However in TDE, gvim opens in a at first regularly sized window but then it shrinks itself in width. If I try to enlarge it it freezes and looks like this: http://artemide.bioeng.washington.edu/Install_openSUSE15.4-trinity/20230808… To make it "unfreeze" I have to move it a bit, then it is responsive and I can type. I do not have this problem for example with firefox, which is also based on gtk-3. Is there any specific gtk-3 setting that I need to change to make gvim work properly? Thanks!
