WTFF has a KDE App to mess with xterm ressources? And probably overwriting settings from ~/.Xresources. As I don't use KDE, would you test that by keeping above but adding something different to ~/.Xresources, e.g.:
It's the 'Apply colours to non-KDE applications' checkbox in the Colours KDE settings module. It's a consistency thing.
Ah, ok. If it's configurable... BUT(!!!) is that DOCUMENTED??? And is it DOCUMENTED that that setting causes KDE to manipulate the xrdb??? If not, f*ck it, KDE has to keep its dirty fingers off my xrdb! Especially if it overwrites stuff set in ~/.Xresources and/or ~/.Xdefaults. And the default of that setting MUST be "off". IMDNHO. Oh, and consistency? Pah! I spit on colour consistency as long as the rest is inconsistent (e.g. file selection dialogs, both have become useable currently IMHO, ATM, the KDE one sucks more though). And NO, I do not want "consistency" inbetween Gnome/GTK/Qt/KDE. There's enough, um, ah, stuff of questionable benefit coming from freedesktop.org as it is. E.g. all that u{dev,disks,power,...,nameit} stuff. Ok, udev, well...[1] I'm waiting for "uporn" ... ;) Actually, I prefer differing themes between GTK and Qt Apps (and Tk, and Wx and FLTK and Athena and Xaw(3d) and Swing and whatnot). That way, I immediately get a hint what UI I'm working with and what quirks (in e.g. the file selection dialog) I have to work with. For example, I had GTK1 rather nicely tuned to a light-on-blueish-dark theme, and Qt(at least1) to a light-on-violetish-dark. As more and more Apps ignored stuff from my themes though, I sorta gave up when moving to 11.4. I tried light-on-dark themes, but none worked throughout. So now I just use the default or some dark-on-light. As I mostly use xterm + XEmacs (both configured white-on-[almost-]black) + Seamonkey, use bash / mc in an xterm for filemanagement and doing and starting stuff, creating a good light-on-dark GTK or Qt theme to really work for the few apps I (regularly) use for a few minutes would be overkill. YMMV! -dnh, but I may try dcr's themes ;) [1] it does not seem worse than hal. -- CPAN is a medium because anything well done is rare." -- (mis)quoting Fred Allen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
