Good evening all. I have attached a slightly darker Version of the Xfce-openSUSE Theme as some of you complained about the very bright (Vista inspired) colors ;) If you agree I am going to start reworking some buttons and scrollers. Best Regards Marcus

Hi. > Right - imageshack and/or similar should do. I don't think that this could be an option. We are definitly in need of a general upload space for members.

It is also used by zenity or gajim. I was told that gnome could start using gconf. And I think another displaymanager option is not bad. I also use gdm with Xfce, though. >> gnome-themes > Are there really in need? I cannot see that in debian package... > http://packages.debian.org/etch/gdm > I think gdm-themes are more needed.

Ristretto is in BuildService X11:Xfce project and also in distribution (read official openSUSE FTP), however it is not present on media (read CD, DVD). -- Best Regards / S pozdravom, Pavol RUSNAK SUSE LINUX, s.r.o Package Maintainer Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xA6917144 19000 Praha 9, CR prusnak[at]suse.cz http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-xfce] openSUSE 11.0 Xfce Review
by Marcus Moeller 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

Hi all. You can take a look at Red Devil's (I personally never heard of him before) review of Xfce on openSUSE 11.0: http://reddevil62-techhead.blogspot.com/2008/06/quick-appraisal-xfce-in-ope… He was very confused of all the YaST elements in the settings menu. This was something I have also criticized a few month before and I hoped that somebody will take care of it before the release. But this review also shows us that people are really interested in a well configured Xfce Desktop on oS Best Regards Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi guys, I've just googled this: http://reddevil62-techhead.blogspot.com/2008/06/quick-appraisal-xfce-in-ope… I'm not sure if that guy is right about sudo, but in other ways - I've tested it too and feel the same. -- Miro "churchyard" Hrončok JID: churchyard(a)njs.netlab.cz -- This message contains no viruses, because I do not use Microsoft(R) Windows(R).

[opensuse-xfce] SLIM in openSUSE (was: [Fwd: New Private Message at openSUSE Forums])
by Pavol Rusnak 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Hi! I just received a question about using SLIM in openSUSE. Any ideas? -------- Original Message -------- Hello ! I was looking today for a remplacement for gdm/kdm and saw you provide the SLiM RPM through OBS. I suppose you have it installed on your openSUSE box also ? I have some questions about it, maybe you could do a small wiki on how to install/configure it for openSUSE 11.0 ? :p According to the documentation, i coud either launch it via inittab, or add a service script for init.d. But in either cases, should I disable xdm service *AND earlyxdm* ? And what about the displaymanager configured in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager ? Should changes be done there ? Thank you for your help ! Regards. --------------------------------- -- Best Regards / S pozdravom, Pavol RUSNAK SUSE LINUX, s.r.o Package Maintainer Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xA6917144 19000 Praha 9, CR prusnak[at]suse.cz http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-xfce] murrina engine
by Marcus Moeller 19 Jun '08

Hi all. Do you think it's possible to use the Murrina Engine for GTK themes? With this engines, we got a lot more options for themes. I would suggest Gonxical: http://www.xfce-look.org/content/show.php/Murrina+Gonxical?content=74339 which looks a bit like the GNOME Gilouche theme but integrates better in Xfce.
