I like when my environment looks nice so I don't understand why is half of system dialogs using Plastique theme and half Oxygen. For example when I run KpackageKit manually, it has Oxygen theme, but when it appears automatically to perform some updates, it has Plastique theme. It's really ugly. Is it somehow possible to unify it?
View 8 RepliesI have KDE 4.6.3 installed, but I'm not using KDE as my desktop (just Openbox).
For some reason, KDE's "Oxygen" theme isn't available in qtconfig. Also, KDE apps seem to be following the selection in qtconfig, not the one in KDE's System Settings.
I rember that before, qtconfig let you choose Oxygen, and KDE apps followed the choice in KDE System Settings (even if you were not using KDE).
Here's my .xinitrc code...
. What should I do to fix it?
I installed Oxygen KDE in Firefox 4 but when I upgraded to Firefox 5 it was not compatible. The problem is that traces remain and I cannot get another theme to appear properly. I do notice that if I delete ~/.mozilla the problem is solved. However I have many addons installed and don't want to setup everything again. Also in ~/.mozilla/.../Firefox there is a folder named OxygenKDE and if I delete it, Firefox auto creates a new OxygenKDE folder on FF startup.
View 4 Replies View RelatedToday I installed KDE 4.6.3. (OpenSuse 11.4). With this version a modified oxygen icon set was installed. Some icons, e.g. folders, are looking very ugly. They are looking a little bit like Tango icons. This mixture of original oxygen icons and the "tango-oxgygen" ones looks very inconsistent. You can repair this by installing the KDE 4.6.0 oxygen icon set (oxygen-icon-theme, oxygen-icon-theme-scalable) coming with OpenSuse 11.4. Yast is showing some problems regarding KDE 4.6.3. you can ignore them.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using OpenOffice 3.2.1 and Opensuse 11.3 with KDE 4.4.4. When I use the KDE4 integration and the oxygen icon set, I'am getting a mixture of oxygen (KDE4) icons and crystal (KDE3) icons in the symbol panel (I hope this is the correct word in english). E.g. the icons for "bold", "italic" or underlined are crystal icons instead of oxygen. I had the same "problem" with Opensuee 11.2 and older OpenOffice versions.
Interestingly, when I start OpenOffice in my root account, OpenOffice shows all icons correctly as oxygen icons. When creating a new user account (a test account), OpenOffice use the icon mixture. Also transferring the ".oo3" folder of root to my user account didn't solve the "problem". Of course, this is not a real problem with OpenOffice, it's more a desing error (but I like to solve it ). Who else has a mixture of oxygen and crystal icons?
There's a quality issue here i'm sensing. WHen i zoom icons while in Dolphin, the icons are quite fuzzy. I think it's when it reaches say 128x128 i'll estimate.It's really strange because in Mint 9 KDE, oxygen icons show cleanly at max zoom :/ How can i fix this?

We are not a big company and I am trying to implement some sort of SAN or NAS to consolidate my storage.
I have a whole bunch of PCs that are not longer in use and are just collecting dust, I'm trying to (in case it is possible) to somehow put them all to work as a single unit and use their hard drives or add more hard drives, to create a Storage Area Network. Is it possible, using Linux or BSD, to achieve this goal. Are there any recommendations as to where to start with this? I am eager to learn new things, I have experience using BSD and GNU/Linux, I just want to know which direction to go in order to achieve my goal.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI just installed OpenSUSE 11.4 on a new system. Everything is plain-jane default KDE4, but there is a video problem. Driver? Hardware? KDE? Some menu's, most notable the right-click on the desktop, but also k-launcher and other programs have a transparent pinstripe background letting whatever is behind show through. This makes the menu unreadable. A couple screen shots of the problem in on this photo stream:
snapshot1 | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
It is really weird, and makes the system unusable, so I am surprised I can not find any prior references. If it is a driver problem, then surely I am not the first to encounter it. That makes me suspect hardware. (I know, it's never hardware...) If you look close at the photos. you can see that there are pinstripes that are OK, and in between it is transparent and the dark desktop is visible. This is only for first 6-8 items in drop down menu's, but menu bars sometimes have a pinstripe two tone effect where i think same thing is happening.
1. The disk checks out, MD5 verified, and reinstalled with same results.
2. I ran a memtest and memory checks out.
3. It is consistent, in that the same menu's have the problem in the same place for a few days now, but there are occasions when the menu is readable for an instant.
4. Not much to try in BIOS, but no effect from changing video memory size.
5. No other issues. Firefox menu's are fine, and firefox browsing is fine.
6. The system is an Intel i3-2100 with graphics on the CPU. Motherboard is an MSI-H67. Everything is new, recent manufacture (B3 stepping)
If I switch Open Gl mode from "texture from pixmap" to "shared memory" the whole display becomes unreadable, but I have no idea if that is expected or relevant. ++++++ OK, while writing this I found a workaround, but I still want to know what is happening. If I switch System settings -> Application appearance -> Style -> Application -> Widget Style from the default of "Oxygen" to any other option (CDE, Cleanlooks, Motif,...) the problem goes away. Oxygen has a slick look, but I can live without that, I still wonder if it is using a graphics feature that is not working on my hardware. Or maybe just a driver problem, but this is a very common graphics system.
I was wondering if old revisions of KDE's oxygen theme are available. Specifically I am looking for the theme that shipped with KDE 4.1 (Kubuntu 8.10), and more particularly I am interested in the kicker theme. I attached a screenshot to show you what I mean. I virtualized Kubuntu 8.10 and grabbed all the themes from /usr/share/kde(4?)/aps/desktopthemes/ and transfered them to my main install, which is using kde 4.4.3, but themes where light colored (i.e. the kicker was light gray and didn't look anything like they did in KDE 4.1).
I don't think it is a compatibility issue because I compared the 4.1 themes with the 4.4 themes and they had the same directory structure and config file format (and the Elegance theme looked the same). So in short, does anyone know where I can download the Oxygen theme from KDE 4.1, or if there is something that I am doing wrong making the old version light colored on KDE 4.4?
I downloaded the oxygen cursors and oxygen cursors extras form the official ubuntu repos using synaptic. I am running gnome in ubuntu lucid with compiz and emerald. I installed them system wide by running
Code: sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme This means that they are displayed eveywhere. However, there appear to some bits missing from the cursor set. Specifically, the window resize icons and the drag and drop (move) icon. All other icons are displayed correctly. For the missing icons, it seems to fall back to the default ugly black x cursors. Has anybody else seen this, or have I installed these cursors incorrectly? Note I want to do this system wide so I have the same cursor even in my sudoed apps.
Ubuntu 10.10 x64 worked out of the box for me but there is one irritating issue.
I have Xonar DS(Oxygen HD Audio) with analogue 2.1 speakers and spdif passthrough to nvidia GTX260 hdmi output for my tv.
It makes random cracking noise on tv unless something is played, no matter on analogue or digital output, then is noiseless.

For some reason, from time to time on login, as my normal theme starts to load, it changes to some sort of silver theme (a very basic one), and I am unable to change it over to any other theme. Checking the theme being used, it still says my desired one is set, but it is not. Also, no matter what theme I change it to, that basic silver theme is the one being used. This includes a default icon theme, not the one I prefer.
The only option that seems to fix things is a restart, and the hope that on this login it won't mess up like before.I am using Natty, from a fresh install, with Ubuntu Classic as my desktop, and have reinstalled things more than once to try and fix a few of the Natty-related issues, but this one keeps coming back.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI updated my laptop from F12 to F14 via preupgrade. After doing so, the standard mouse theme was active. So I installed the one I like again and set it as mouse theme. For some reason it is now a mixture of the one I installed and the standard theme. If I open a place in nautilus the displayed symbol is the right one while waiting, if I open something in control center I get the standard icon. Same problem with drag and drop, I always get the hand from the standard theme. I also tried the former standard theme Bluecurve and it was the same problem.Can anyone tell me what goes wrong with the theme? What has changed in F14, that the older themes won't work?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSince I updated my system a couple of days ago, qpdfview uses a generic theme instead of the Gtk theme. Apparently by adding
Code: Select allexport QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=gtk.
to /etc/profile all QT5 apps should use the gtk theme but for some reason this doesn't seem to work.
Adding -style=gtk to the launcher options works but I want to change the theme setting for all QT5 apps.
I enjoy using vim from lxterminal with the black background, as well as awesome with its dark theme. I configured xfe manually to be darkish, and i use darklooks as a GTK theme to suit it as well. I could say all my desktop looks pretty dark, which my eyes thank me for. I also use redshift.But problems come along when surfing the web. Most web pages (including this one) have very bright styles. They are not the problem themselves, but switching from my windows hurts my eyes since it's a quick change to a much brighter screen.What would you do, either:
1. Use everything with a brighter background and putting the screen brightness a bit lower. (changing the GTK theme to clearlooks, using lxterminal with a white background, etc.)
2. Use some color theme with uzbl so that pages would look much darker. (like when you set manually the text and background colors in Firefox/Iceweasel)
I would myself go with the second one if most pages wouldn't look that bad when modified that way. For example, many pages use non-transparent images with white backgrounds on white pages, so if you change the background to black not only it looks horrible but it too is a mess.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've tried openSUSE 11.2 live and I've appreciated very much the default theme.
In 11.2 you can change theme by right-click on wallpaper->Dekstop Settings->theme.
In 11.3 there's no more that "Desktop Settings" voice from right-click's menu, there's only a "Desktop Activity Settings" which only let me choose wallpaper.
I've saved from live cd icons, themes and wallpapers of 11.2 and now I want them all in 11.3 as I don't like its default theme.
Using OpenSuse 11.2 RC2. After playing around to install the nvidia driver, Yast lost its beautiful initial colours (light blue, as the rest of the kde desktop) and became a bit uglier (dark blue, more rudimentary, etc; I think the default "unbranded KDE"'s colour).I have the KDE theme set either for the regular user and for root. I have also installed the packages yast2-theme-openSUSE and yast2-theme-openSUSE-Oxygen installed but, how shall I choose one of them?Some webs say that there is an option in Yast under "miscellaneous" to choose Yast's theme, but I do not have it.
