[opensuse-gnome] SubpixelHinting for Gnome
by Rastislav Krupanský 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

Hi all. Why is not available SubpixelHinting for Gnome by default, as is in KDE? I found out that, when i want to enable subpixel for Gnome and Gtk apps(like Firefox, Thunderbird...), i have to reinstall cairo and mozilla-xulrunner190 packages for 11.0 and for 11.1 i have to reinstall cairo package from repo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Fisiu/ If i´m correct, system-cairo option is disabled. Why? Any patents? If not, could it be available (not have to be enabled) by default for the next release 11.2? Thanks for explanation. -- S pozdravom / Best regards, Rasto -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] RapidSVN and openSUSE
by James Tremblay aka SLEducator 28 May '09

28 May '09

Hey guys, Does anyone know who is managing the RapidSVN for openSUSE? I am wondering if we can add the keyring module for subversion to its prerequisites I would also like to know if there is more we can do to "idiot proof" the use of this wonderful tool with regard to converting win32 users from tortoiseSVN to openSUSE and RapidSVN. The utility needs some love with regard to managing authentication to remote SVN servers that use either keys or user auth for per function\action authentication. if anyone needs a working example I have a project at eduforge.org that I am having some difficulty using rapidSVN with, I would be glad to create a dev account for someone to figure this out. -- James A.

by Magnus Boman 22 May '09

22 May '09

Hej! GNOME:STABLE:2.26 just received a face lift, in the shape of GNOME 2.26.2, thanks to the fantastic effort of one Dominique Leuenberger (DimStar on IRC). At the time of this writing, packages are building in OBS. Once done, those of you who create LiveCD's etc, please make a new build so that it will contain the latest and greatest of this stable GNOME release. Cheers, Magnus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Moving G:Community packages to G:Contrib
by Vincent Untz 22 May '09

22 May '09

Hi, During the community week, we finally agreed to create GNOME:Contrib for GNOME packages that should live in Contrib. We started populating G:Contrib with a few packages (~15 already :-)) and they've all been accepted in Contrib. So now is the time to move in our plans to conquer the world: let's copy the interesting packages from G:Community to G:Contrib! I've created a table to track this effort: http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Packaging/GNOME:Contrib I've already filled the table a bit, by looking if packages are already existing in Factory, for example. Now, it'd be nice to have people look at the packages that are remaining, clean them a bit if needed, and submit them to G:Contrib. Once this is done, we can also look at packages from packman and packages living in some home repositories :-) (btw, G:Contrib is integrated with osc gnome, so it's really easy to work on it) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Removing icons from menus by default
by Vincent Untz 22 May '09

22 May '09

Hey, What do people think about setting /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons to FALSE by default? I'm trying this, and while a few things needs some changes (panel menus, mainly), I believe it makes the interface feel more stream-lined. So this might be something we could consider for 11.2...

[opensuse-gnome] Moving to Sonar as the default theme
by Jakub Steiner 16 May '09

16 May '09

Thanks for the feedback on the Sonar metatheme. There's a number of issues I will try to address: * Focused window indication. While the focused windows are shaded and unfocused are flat and low contrast, there seems to be a concern the 'spotlight' effect isn't strong enough. While it will lose a bit of the appeal, usability is more important, so I'll tweak it to have the highlight be more prominent with the default selection color. * Dark menu problematic. This issue is actually much more difficult to address. The main problem here is Firefox and its awesomebar, but there may be applications that will also have issues with it, see bug #503351. Some applications like FFox hardcode certain colors while taking others from the system theme. This is sadly even more visible in the FF3 builds, although there seems to be work done to address this [1][2]. Through numerous experiments I wasn't able to address this with the gtkrc itself and it seems like the only solution would be a custom/user chrome. But that really breaks things when switching themes so it would need to have some logic to only apply for Sonar :/. A workaround using stylish extension is another option[3]. In the light of this perhaps it would be better to drop the dark inverted menus and go for a slightly darker gray with black text that would work in apps that don't work with dark themes yet. Discuss. I'm also working towards a release of Fifth Leg, the openSUSE headline font. It would be quite a boost for the openSUSE brand if used as a default WM font. Feel free to try it out [4] and report any problems you may encounter.
