[opensuse-gnome] GTK File open/save dialogue won't respect theme colours and is rendered wrongly under KDE
by Tero Pesonen 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

Hi! I'm posting this to the Gnome list as I had no luck on the main opensuse list with this topic. Maybe some one here has a though to share on the problem. The problem is on openSUSE 10.3 while running KDE. Previously, on 9.3 and 10.2, I had always used the GTK theme HighContrastInverse for GTK apps. I had set it in the KDE control centre, and had never had any trouble with that. All was fine. Now, on a relatively fresh 10.3 installation, that setting (in GTK Styles component in KControl) no longer works. It sets exactly nothing, or at least the applications do not react to this setting. They simply launch with some default, whitish theme. I decided that the thing is faulty, and won't work. So I uninstalled the kcm-gtk-etc. rpm, which removed this menu entry. OK. Then I installed an app called gtk-chtheme (from Packman), that allows one to choose the GTK theme under KDE. It worked. But now there is a problem: The apps are rendered otherwise correctly, except that the GTK apps' Open/Save dialogue will not respect the HighContrastInverse theme-set colours. It's background is rendered with the right colour, but the file list has the default theme's whitish background, causing white text to be drawn on top of a very white background. The same applies to the other list on the left, the one that has "File System" and "Desktop" etc. links. The buttons and other widgets have the right colours on the dialogue. I've tried editing /usr/share/themes/HighContrastInverse/.../gtkrc, but nothing there affects the dialogue in any way (other parts of GTK applications do react as expected). The said dialogue simply ignores the colours on those two widgets. I also tried an older version of theme, whose colours I had manually edited and used on 10.2. It made no difference what so ever. I then tried other themes, too, even QT-GTK-something-Curve or something like that which was supposed to duplicate KDE colours on GTK. Well, it did. Except that the dialogue still had that same whitish background. It simply ignores anything any theme sets. I tried running Gnome, and there the HighContrastInverse (and others) show perfectly well. The said dialogue, too, is rendered correctly, and exactly like it was under KDE on 9.3 and 10.2 (except with my own version of the theme) I don't know what to do any more, or what to try. I even removed pretty much anything KFind found under my home directory tree with gtkrc in it (I searched for *gtkrc*), in order to rid KDE of any colour settings anywhere that the dialogue might inherit or something like that, but to no avail. I installed a clean 10.3, and did not upgrade over an older version or anything. So this should have worked out-of-the-box. Might any one know any reason this dialogue behaves the way it does? How could I investigate further? Here's a screenshot of the dialogue under KDE: https://secure.storegate.com/user/share.aspx?id=61d213fe-3c13-427b-8669- 6b098b9ef8dd Thanks for all ideas!

[opensuse-gnome] updating to gnome 2.21.5
by Michael Wolf 04 Feb '08

04 Feb '08

Yo I've started updating our gnome packages again, and I'm looking for help. Interested? You can volunteer as much or as little time as you wish. In fact, if you only updated your own favorite package and nothing else, even that would be helpful. We're doing this work in the GNOME:UNSTABLE project in the Build Service, and we're coordinating among ourselves using Google spreadsheets (so we don't have two or more people working on the same package without knowing about it). If you're keen, contact me off-list, and I'll set you up with access to the GNOME:UNSTABLE project and the spreadsheet.

[opensuse-gnome] Possible Packages to Drop (or move to GNOME:Community)
by JP Rosevear 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

As I read through maw's excellent worksheet yesterday, I found some packages of questionable value to the main distro so I thought I'd propose some actions for those. Please let me know of any feedback. Need volunteers for the testing section, speak up its easy to do! Needs testing for review: gaim-galago (does it work with pidgin?) gnome-netstatus (does it work with NetworkManager at all?) Move to GNOME:Community: conglomerate (no new releases in 2.5 years, not installed by default) gnomeicu/icu (is this widely used given we have pidgin?) fyre (not installed by default) gqview (yet another image viewer) libghttp (nothing depends on this library) Drop entirely: glade (obsoleted by glade3) gnopericus (obsoleted by orca?) metacity-themes (not sure this was ever used except internally) libgnomeservice (nothing depends on this library) -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr(a)novell.com> Novell, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] More Proposed Changes for 11.0
by JP Rosevear 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

More spreadsheet review work proposals/decisions/thoughts: 1) Put libsigc++12 "up for sale" on the opensuse-packaging list, no GNOME packages seem to use it anymore 2) Update to inkscape 0.4.6pre0? 3) Move log4net to the ifolder team 4) Xchat has a patches dir for post 2.8.4 fixes, not sure if we have them all 5) The 'whatdependson orbit' (not orbit2) call looks pretty bogus in autobuild As well two more drops: libsvg/libsvg-cairo (no longer maintained and librsvg has all the foo to do this now, not sure if this is an RPM Obsoletes case though) atk-poke (acceriser obsoletes this I think?) -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr(a)novell.com> Novell, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] testers needed: g-s-d
by Rodrigo Moya 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

Hi I just added the 1st item to the testing page: http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/11.0/Testing I know you are all running FACTORY and have already installed this package, and you might even be preparing patches for the bugs you found, but just in case you didn't notice, the new gnome-settings-daemon needs testing, to make sure there are no regressions from the old one. Not sure yet how to proceed with the page, as we were discussing just now on IRC. Should we have a tracker bug for each package added to the page? or should we just list the bugs found in the 2nd column of the page? -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo(a)novell.com> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] bluez-gnome
by James Ogley 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

I've added a patch to G:C/bluez-gnome that provides an item in the applet's menu to launch "yast2 bluetooth" At the moment, it doesn't have an icon next to it (but then, neither does the "Browse device..." menu item - would be awesome if it could have the YaST icon - would someone with better Gtk/C skills than me (just about anyone in other words) care to take a look? -- James Ogley james(a)usr-local-bin.org http://usr-local-bin.org GNOME for openSUSE: http://software.opensuse.org/download/GNOME:/ Help end poverty: http://oxfam.org.uk/in -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org
