[opensuse] What rpm changed the color of kde4 control center from blue to suse yellow/green?
Listmates, An update today changed the color of kde4 control center from blue to the openSuSE colors. Which rpm did this? How do I remove it. I have 3 kids. I have enough puke green in my life without adding any more. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

On a similar vein, the new pea green graphics that appeared in M7, the bootsplash and the wallpaper with the loops and o's in them... reminds me of something but I just cant put my finger on it. -- “Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.” ☘ Oscar Wilde -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Nor is it something you would want to put your finger on or in ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Search for the kde branding packages that have opensuse in their name and replace them by those with upstream in it.

Would it be that hard to just ask the question and not add any remarks? Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

probably not, but i found the remark rather funny. it was also short, so wasted neither time nor bandwidth. i think it's obvious to the poster that this is a question of personal taste, and as such there's no color choice "right" or "wrong." i don't think this was a slur against oS developers or designers; just a nonsensical, funny remark that didn't interfere with the list's function. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Agreed, and it would explain one of the OP's earlier posts about a different bootsplash colour theme ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have searched everything and I can fairly safely say that the new color was NOT caused by something with branding in its name. I have removed just about everything I could find trying to get rid of the control center color, but I still can't find it. This is all that is left with branding: 14:14 alchemy:~> rpm -qa | grep -i branding yast2-branding-openSUSE-2.18.0-1.4 MozillaFirefox-branding-openSUSE-3.0.4-2.6 glib2-branding-openSUSE-2.16-15.1 gimp-branding-openSUSE-11.0-0.1 OpenOffice_org-branding-openSUSE-2.4-17.1 bootsplash-branding-openSUSE-3.1-16.1 kdebase3-SuSE-branding-openSUSE-11.0-117.1 gnome-menus-branding-openSUSE-11.1-37.2 pidgin-branding-openSUSE-11.1-8.48 yast2-registration-branding-openSUSE-2.17.17-1.50 gfxboot-branding-openSUSE-4.0.14-4.1 and I have checked the files with rpm -ql and the yellow/green color scheme isn't in one of them

Yes, I guess I could have, and arguably, probably should have, but life is bland without a metaphor or two to brighten your day :-p Any other ideas? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

You should have some kde4 branding package installed, i.e. kdebase4-runtime- branding-upstream, kdebase4-workspace-branding-xyz, there is even one for kdm. Could you provide a screenshot, maybe I misunderstood what changed to green. As for the plasma theme, there is "openSUSE Air" and just "Air", one of them is greenish, the other the original KDE4 one.

kdelibs4-branding-* is another one. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Sven, I had actually already removed the offending package when I wrote my reply yesterday, but the yellow/green persisted until I rebooted the machine. It seems that the branding information is cached somewhere by kde until the box is rebooted. Yes, I mean "reboot". I had logged out, I had logged in to kde3, openbox, lxde, and back into kde4 and the yellow/green was still there. It wasn't until I had shut down my laptop, put the Archlinux drive in, fought the radeonhd driver some more, reinstalled the suse drive, and booted back into openSuSE KDE4 that the yellow/green went away. I didn't know Linux did that? Cute comment withheld, owing to the fact that discretion is the better part of valor in some cases ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

You have to restart the the program the theme applies to before you can see a change. Logging out didn't do that, because the theme applied to the desktop as well as to kdm, which was still running after each desktop log out. 'rckdm restart' or 'init 3; init 5' from a virtual console would have restarted kdm and put the new theme into effect.

You have to install the upstream branding packages to get the upstream theme if the openSUSE one is default. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Forget what I wrote, I mixed-up two things and you had it solved already. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ah, I think I know what you mean by control center. Could it be that you refer to sysinfo:/ kio? In that case there should be a sysinfo branding package, something similar to kio_sysinfo-branding-upstream.
