[opensuse-kde] Firefox Oxygen theme
Hi, we recently added the Oxygen theme package for Firefox to Factory. Now today I've tested Factory/KDE using a recent livecd iso and found that there isn't a big difference between the Firefox default and the Oxygen theme. There are a few minor differences but most of the UI looks the same for me. The background is that Firefox using the default theme requests the icons from the running theme. (That's a Gtk feature and I don't know how it interacts with KDE themes but it apparently does.) Therefore I filed https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=530837 to evaluate if the theme package is needed at all. We would again save a bit of space on the live CD and given the fact that the oxygen theme is not used automatically(1) I'm not sure if it is really useful. What do you think? (1) we could patch Firefox to check if running under KDE and choose the Oxygen theme for new profiles but that's not really a nice solution I think as it doesn't make a difference if the user actually uses Oxygen but would just check on KDE as desktop.

Hi. I´d appreciate keeping the package, because i use Oxygen theme in Firefox under Gnome. So if it possible, don´t remove it from repo, please. Thanks. -- S pozdravom / Best regards, Rasto -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Ok, that makes sense and I agree. So I only question that the theme is installed on the live CD and I don't think patching Firefox to choose it by default in special cases is still overkill and contra-productive. Keeping the package is perfectly fine with me. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

It's caused by presence (of configuration files) of qtcurve-gtk2 package. Bye, Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

I was trying out the M6 live-cd's and I see that even though the integration of firefox with KDE is present by default (because of qt-curve), this integration is only superficial. True the icons in the main interface look similar, but icons in the preferences dialog, etc. are still the gnome/gtk ones. The oxygen theme does much better appearance integration imho. Thus I would vote for having the oxygen theme by default on KDE desktops (i.e. I think something like the patching thing would be great). -- Atri -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
