I am very visual when browsing for files, so the icon that is displayed is crucial to me. At the moment it seems that the mime-type is the overriding factor for displaying the icon in Dolphin and Konqueror rather than any content. There appears to be something for GNOME for this.
Idea #2141: "GNOME thumbnailer should extract icons from exe" - Ubuntu brainstorm
Is there anything for KDE? OpenSuSe 11.3 KDE 4.5.2
I try to implement thumbnails for files from a Wine program in order to integrate it better in Ubuntu. The Program is Sketchup which creates *.skp files in a binary format, but I found a ruby script that can extract the thumbnail (*.png). Now I wanted to register it in the gnome configuration according to the following instruction:[URL].. It works perfect if I execute the script manually (package ruby installed, script is executable):
Code:
ruby ~/.wine/skp-thumbnailer.rb /home/user/test.skp /home/user/test.png Creates successfully a thumbnail test.png from the file test.skp. With the following commands, I registered the script, but it doesn't create thumbnails automatically:
Code:
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@wine-extension-skp/enable --type=bool true
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@wine-extension-skp/command --type=string "ruby ~/.wine/skp-thumbnailer.rb %i %o"
Now my question is how to find the mistake. Do I need to copy the script into /usr/bin ? Apart from that, would it be possible to create it as a shell script (without ruby requirement)? If I knew how to translate it into .sh, I would prefer that.
I have not used OpenSUSE for some time, but I am running 11.4 32 bit on my laptop now. The system runs fine and stable, but I am surprised to find icons missing for a few applications. They've never been there, like if they are missing from the rpm they are installed from.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have lost some icons from my desktop, they are, firefox, yast, thunderbird, emacs, the space and the names are still there, and when I hover the mouse over the space, it is highlighted as it should be. The application opens and runs as normal when I click on the space where the icon should be. The icons are also missing from the favorites bar on the left side and also from the panel top left when the app is running.I have tried, rebuilding the icon cache in 'usr/share/icons/hicolor', and also all othercon caches for that matter, and no difference. I tried uninstalling and installing the app, no differenence. I tried changing themes and icons from Tweak Tool, no difference. As far as I can see the icons are there in the hicolor directory
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have recently played around with Mac4lin a program to change the interface to one that resembles a Mac computer. I did not like the settings then decided to uninstall the program. It reverted to a really ugly looking gnome desktop rather than my previous settings. One thing that I don't like is that I have a foot icon on my gnome traditional menu button on the panel rather than the green ball type icon I used to have. I know it's not the end of the world that my icons do not look like it previously did, everything else is running smoothly, though I'm just more annoyed than anything else.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWith the installation of 11.4, my video driver changed over to the nouveau driver from the proprietary nVidia driver. Now I get a grid of vertical lines following my curser in both KDE and Gnome, a similar grid over icons and as background fill in KDE. In KDE the grid lines appear over icons within application windows. Is anyone else seeing these? Or, not seeing them while using the nVidia driver?

I have just installed Gnome 3 on my Ubuntu 11.04, and I noticed that nautilus is not generating any new thumbnails. All the old thumbnails are till showing, but if i get a new movie or rename an old one, it does not even attempt to create a new one. Totem is able to play all the movies without any problem. Ive also tried installing totem-xine, but it still makes no difference.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI run Gnome and i want KDE applications to use the same icon set as i have for my Gnome desktop. I have searched the file system and found a folder called "default.kde4" in /usr/share/icons. I assume this is where KDE applications pull their icons from. Firstly, this folder is a linked folder. How do i find out where the original folder that it is linked to is? Secondly, i am assuming, that the KDE icons won't be a name for name match for the icons i am using in Gnome (Faenza just in case anyone is curious). What is the easiest way to get the KDE icons changed for the one's i am using in Gnome?

Intermittently I loose the icons in the menus, they all go black.
I can see the pop-up message / text if I float my mouse where the icons should be, but do not see the icons.
This obviously makes it hard to use the menus =)
If I log out and back in the icons come back.
The icons do NOT come back if switch user or restart gnome (alt-F2 -> r).

After a new installation of Ubuntu 10.10 (regular or alternative) I get to the login screen as usual. However, after logging in I get no panels or icons. In fact, I only get the Ubuntu background and a working mouse cursor. The same happens when I try Ubuntu from the live CD (with a black background). The installation itself was performed in a high resolution with no problems at all! I got a panel there (for sound, wireless, etc.).
After installation I can also Ctrl-Alt-F1 to login textually to see my processes. When I restart GDM I will get back to the login screen, but I after visually logging in I again see no panels or icons! Where should I start with a working visual installation and login screen, but a blank desktop environment after login?
Reinstalling or creating another user will not work.
