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 16 Jun '25

16 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

TDE menu color
by Darrell Anderson 13 Jun '25

13 Jun '25

Where in KControl is the TDE panel menu color controlled? I can change the panel color and background image, but my menu color is gray. How do I change that to black(ish) with white text? I am not much into themes so an extra clarification or two would be helpful. Thanks. :)
