I didn't know how else to word that. In 9.10, if you held the mouse over the volume indicator icon on the top menu bar, the current volume would pop up. Same went for the network indicator - hover over it and the current status popped up. Same with the battery indicator. Now with Karmic, I have to actually click on the icons to get any information.
View 1 RepliesIf you set your mouse for double click is it possible to change cursor style for hover icons?Currently the cursor looks like it is going to do single click:This does not make sense. It should show regular cursorAnd another misbehavior for double click occurs in Power Applet.Sleep and Hibernate icons require single click, but Settings icon requires double click:
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using the latest daily build of unity and the alpha of narty and the 3d version of Unity is dog slow on this computer. I installed the 2d version and it's much much better. The only problem is, I need to be able to see the battery manager applet, the clock, and the logout button, but none of them are visible. The only icon I have in the top right corner is the wifi manager.
I know everything is in alpha and unfinished, but is there a config file I need to modify or might I have done something wrong when adding and installing the 2d interface from the daily repo?
In Jaunty, I was using the fast-user-switch-applet, which puts a menu on the panel to enable quickly switching between users. The package does not seem to exist in Karmic, however. A search of Ubuntu packages reveals versions for Hardy, Intrepid, Jaunty, and Lucid, but skips Karmic.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use the indicator applet instead of the old notification area. I've noticed that just like the notification area, the indicator applet get its icons from the "status" folder of whatever icon theme you're using. However, I've tried changing various status icons for different programs and the changes are never reflected in the indicator applet. Updating the gnome icon cache, rebooting the pc, and removing/readding the indicator applet do nothing. Does the indicator applet have some other secret icon cache that needs to be cleared?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running Ubuntu Karmic and I have the Cairo-Dock as my launcher. I am trying to figure out how to change the icons in the "Shortcuts" applet, but I am running into trouble. I did find where the icons are stored, but I was looking for a way to point to different icons instead of overwriting the originals. I have attached a screenshot of the applet and icons in question. By the way, I did try changing the overall icon theme of Cairo-Dock and that seems to have absolutely 0 effect on the applet icons.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm using the Human-Clearlooks theme on Lucid (Gnome) with compiz/nvidia driver.
I'd like to have the scrollbar sliders a bit (only) more visible. Ideally, it would switch orange when I hover it with the mouse, and stay gray otherwise. This is because my screen is quite large, and when the slider is small I find it difficult to find its position.
1. I opened the gtkrc file and set colorize_scrollbar = TRUE in the engine "clearlooks" block. Now the scrollbar sliders are always orange. I'd really like to have them orange only on hover.
2. There is a "clearlooks-scrollbar" style. I tried adding (fg|bg|base|text)[] in it. I found that:A. fg[] is for the arrow within the top and bottom square boxes
B. bg[NORMAL] and bg[INSENSITIVE] define the color of the box containing the arrow (or if colorize_scrollbar = FALSE, the color of the whole scrollbar, including the square boxes and the slider itself)
C. bg[PRELIGHT] is the color of the box containing the arrow when hovered
D. bg[SELECTED] is the color of the slider (permanent)As it was most unsuccessful, I tried to force the murrine engine for the scrollbars only. Now with bg[PRELIGHT] = @selected_bg_color I get something fairly close to my expectations.
Only I'd like the bar to be pre-lighted not only when the mouse is over the slider, but as soon as it is over the scrollbar. Here I must say I'm at loss, and I really can't find how to do it.
how to change the slider color on scrollbar hover?

I'm attempting to set up my "Tablet PF1209" pen tablet in Ubuntu 10.04. There should be 4 spaces before Tablet but this forum removes them. I've followed several of the HOW TOs and the best two I've found were: [URL]
Everything works the way it should except once I 'click' with my pen. After I press down to select something or paint, I can't get the hover feature to return. Well it returns if I unplug and plug it back in. It's kinda hard to use a pen tablet when you can only move the cursor when painting/dragging.
I've never had this issue the last time I used my tablet (Ubuntu 7.04)

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynix on my HP laptop with WUBI. When I start up my computer and choose to start with Ubuntu, it shows no errors. When I login, I can do anything just fine (I have had to resort to right-clicking on the desktop and opening documents and things from there) until I hover over the Panel or the Cairo Dock, when instantaneously the computer freezes and refuses to do anything at all, no matter how long I leave it (I left it on over night and it still was frozen - the screensaver hadn't come on or anything). The only thing that still works is the mouse, that will still move around, but obviously if I try to click on anything then nothing happens.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI thought I was removing the chat status piece of the indicator applet (I know what it is now, didn't then), but I accidentally removed the whole thing. Now when I figured out how to put it back on the panel, I can't get it back to where it was (which was to the RIGHT of the system date/time applet). How can I do this as well as move the indicator applet that has the volume control in it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAfter some updates I can't get indicator applet and session management applet working, I get these instead:
I tried to pull back any updates, but it changed nothing. I installed older (lucid) versions of these packages:
Code:

indicator-applet-complete
indicator-sound
indicator-applet-session

I was using both the Indicator Applet and the Notification Area applets in my panel but realized that very often when I started the system, the icons of these applet appeared mixed. Some items were duplicated (for example the keyboard indicator) where others were missing (sometimes the battery indicator, sometimes the sound indicator, etc). When that happened I had to remove them and add them to panel again.
This seems to be a bug that makes one applet interfere with the other (maybe because there are some items that appear in both but when you add both initially nothing is duplicated but after a system restart the problem happens).After searching for some way to fix this apparent bug without success I decided to remove the Indicator applet and keep just the Notification Area.
It works but then I don't have the sound applet anymore, because it was part of the Indicator Applet.
I searched for a standalone sound applet but I couldn't find any. Do you know of any such applet that I could install in the system? If I can find any it would be fine to me and I would be satisfied using just the Notification Area.
Had ubuntu for a few years left came back last month. I lost the indicator applet in the panel. I don't know what I did to get it back. I feel like this is a very very simple thing to fix but I just can't find it. Here is a pic of what i'm talking about.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI removed the "indicator applet" from the default gnome panel at the top of the default Lucid desktop. Doing so resulted in me losing the ability to control the sound from the panel, which I value so I put it back.Once I restored the indicator applet to the panel, the nm-applet went missing. I'm still connecting to my home network with no problem, so the function is there, but the little icon that updates when you're trying to connect, shows signal strength, and other available networks is now missing. This I've searched the problem and haven't found any solutions that work, I think because of the new applet integration, but I'm very surprised this hasn't been found by someone yet!

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy kupdate-applet tells me it has a recommended update: KDE 4.3.5 from the official opensuse update repo. Problem is I already have a more recent version of KDE 4.3.5 installed from the official opensuse KDE repo. In yast I pressed the "switch system packages" button for the KDE repo. How can I make the update applet ignore this "recommended" update? Note that the updateApplet itself is installed from the opensuse update repo. If I don't do this, then the older update applet from the KDE repo always has a recommended update for... Kupdate-applet.
