I am bringing up 2 brand spanking new desktops PCs with Ubuntu 14.04.2 and TDE 14.0.0 -- using the live CD from the Trinity web site.
jonesy@nix6: $ display /opt/trinity/share/apps/amarok/images/amarok_rocks.jpg display.im6: color is not known to server `FOREGROUND': No such file or directory @ error/xwindow.c/XGetPixelPacket/3064. jonesy@nix6: $
A web search on "display.im6: color is not known to server" pulls up _only_ two references to the error message, and one of them is : From: Paul Cartwright <pbcartwright@...> Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:54:28 -0500 Subject: Imagemagick error
...at http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::5517 (!!!) which describes _my_ problem exactly. That was 1 1/2 years ago.
Only I do not see that he ever got a reply, nor do I see any fix or work-around for the problem.
If I shorten up the search for just "color is not known to server", I see a lot more hits for what seems to be the same problem. But, still, I see no fixes or work-arounds (yet).
I use `display` A LOT in desktop objects and I really need this fixed or circumvented.
I can't believe I'm the only one in the Trinity group to have this problem.
Thank you, Jonesy

"display" shows amarok_rocks.jpg here without problems (R14.0.0). There has to be a difference in settings. Just a shot into the dark: Can you have a look in Settings>Appearance&Themes>Colors if you have checked or un-checked "Apply colors to non-TDE applications"? Mine is un-checked.

Yes this is caused by this setting but it should not. It seems that /opt/trinity/share/apps/tdedisplay/app-defaults is sourced to xrdb without replacing color definitions with actual values which should be taken from tde color schemes.

there are several oddities related to this. i posted earlier a screenshot of the lacie lightscribe labeler which had foreground and background both black unless that option is unchecked. oddly, unchecking it changed numerous attributes of both non-tde and tde applications -- and rechecking it rebroke the things that were broken, but did not repair the things it itself broke. in particular, menu and icon text got tiny.
weird.

Yep. Apparently this settings does a lot more than just "Apply colors". Font size changes on some apps, save/cancel buttons swapped on gtk save dialogs, etc... It clearly should not be located under "colors".

Gerhard,
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! That solved it. That fixed it. (<<...For subsequent web searchers)
I do not know how I would ever drill down to something that obscure to see if it affected the problem. That you came up with the solution is impressive!
Now on to the next problem (and, there is one. There always is. :-) Jonesy
