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.

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

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.

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. :-)

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".
