Change GTK apps' icons in TDE
by Carlos AD 06 Sep '23

06 Sep '23

Hi, As Kmail isn't a viable option for use with corporate Office 365 e-mail (it doesn't support OAuth), I've installed Evolution with it's Exchange Web Access package. However, the icons in it are from the Adawita theme, and I don't seem to be able to change them using Trinity. From MATE, if I change the Icon theme using the built-in tool it also changes the icons on Evolution, but that's not the case in Trinity. I had managed to change the font and the decorations editing the $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini, but not the icons. I've installed the gtk-qt-engine-trinity package and tried to change the settings from Trinity's Control Center, but that has only edited my settings.ini file and caused Evolution to not run at all, with this terminal output (evolution:2551): Gtk-ERROR **: 20:27:32.588: GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported Firefox also doesn't work now, with the same terminal output. I think I'm missing something here, because it wouldn't make sense that I'd be able to change the decorations and font, but not the icons. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thank you, Carlos

Re: Task switching (ALT + TAB) doesn't work in R14.1.0

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

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!
