[opensuse] mouse pointer in seamonkey 2.49
Hello: I have installed seamonkey 2.49.1 in openSUSE Leap 42.2. The fonts and the mouse pointer look different than in other applications. I guess it is because seamonkey 2.49 uses gtk3. How can I set gtk3 fonts and mouse pointer theme in openSUSE Leap 42.2? I use KDE3 if it does matter, but KDE4 packages are also installed. Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I have installed seamonkey 2.49.1 in openSUSE Leap 42.2.
Which 2.49.1? Those from openSUSE repos continue to be built with GTK2.
The fonts and the mouse pointer look different than in other applications.
This has not happened to me in 42.3/KDE3 even using the mozilla.org GTK3 builds, which is not to say GTK3 builds are not without drawbacks. The GTK3 UI is currently requiring double-clicks where single-clicks are expected. I'm running both mozilla.org's and openSUSE's 2.49.1, along with multiple mozilla.org versions of Firefox, all at the same time. Are your scrollbars working as expected? If not you might need custom gtk-3.0 settings in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css and/or elsewhere. For instance, in gtk.css I have the following: *{ -GtkScrollbar-has-backward-stepper: 1; -GtkScrollbar-has-forward-stepper: 1; -GtkScrollbar-has-secondary-backward-stepper: 1; } scrollbar trough { min-width: 12px; min-height: 16px; } scrollbar slider { min-width: 12px; min-height: 16px; } Also I have ui.scrollToClick set to 0, and general.smoothScroll set false.

I have no KDE4 packages installed, but it shouldn't matter. As 42.2 goes out of support next month, you might want to go ahead and upgrade to 42.3, which might resolve your problem. If you use zypper and manually change your /etc/zypp/repos.d/ files from 42.2 to 42.3, going from 42.2 to 42.3 is virtually indistinguishable from ordinary security updating, quite painless. Maybe you're missing some gtk package that's only recommended? Check yours against mine. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."

Originally I installed the version from seamonkey site. In the meantime I found openSUSE version too and installed it. It does noy have the font/mouse problem.

Scrollbars with gtk3 version works OK for me.
If not you might need custom gtk-3.0 settings in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css and/or elsewhere. For instance, in gtk.css I have the following:
*{ -GtkScrollbar-has-backward-stepper: 1; -GtkScrollbar-has-forward-stepper: 1; -GtkScrollbar-has-secondary-backward-stepper: 1; }
scrollbar trough { min-width: 12px; min-height: 16px; }
scrollbar slider { min-width: 12px; min-height: 16px; }
Also I have ui.scrollToClick set to 0, and general.smoothScroll set false.
I will look into this. I could change gtk font size using kde4 systemsettings or gnome-tweak-tool (I can't recall which one), but I could not find out how to set the mouse cursor for gtk3. I'd prefer classic X mouse cursor.

I tried Leap 42.3 earlier. The problem with it was that I could not install a working KDE4 desktop and plasma5 was useless. Though I use KDE3, occasionally I need KDE4 too. Plasma5 is not an option. At the moment I am OK with openSUSE version of seamonkey but gtk3 mouse cursor question probably will reappear later, so it would be goof to know ho to handle it in KDE3/4.

Now I have 2 versions of seamonkey. The gtk2 version from the opensuse repo and the gtk3 version from the seamonkey site. I can run either one. The scrollbars work OK in both versions. In the gtk3 version the mouse cursor is different from the cursor for other applications.

KDE4 and KDE5 provide apps you can run in KDE3 sessions. What do you need from KDE4 that neither KDE3 nor KDE5 provide and can't be run in a KDE3 session? -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

Sorry, I did not try 42.3 yet. I tried 42.2 with plasma5. Finally I installed wolfi323's version of KDE. Now I see it's also available for 42.3. I needed KDE4 version of krusader. plasma5 krusader did not have icons. I also missed configurable date formats in plasma5.

I'm not 100% sure but IIRC in goes like this for KDE 4: - open KDE-"System settings / Appearance of applications / GTK" - choose "oxygen-gtk" for GTK-Designs and the font So long! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
