| roasted | hello? | 00:43 |
|---|---|---|
| wxl | roasted: yes, dear? | 00:44 |
| roasted | hello | 00:44 |
| roasted | failing to understand the basic process to theming lxde | 00:44 |
| wxl | it's all about theming openbox | 00:44 |
| wxl | here you go: http://box-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=7402 | 00:44 |
| roasted | right, but that's only part of the interface | 00:45 |
| roasted | I would need a gtk theme to match, no? | 00:45 |
| wxl | most of those have the gtk theming taking care of | 00:45 |
| roasted | any themes that you'd recommend? | 00:46 |
| wxl | the one you like :) | 00:46 |
| roasted | well, yeah, but so far half the ones I pick come across with title bar changed but the actual lxde bar is untouched | 00:46 |
| wxl | yeah THAT is kind of a separate thing | 00:46 |
| roasted | so how would I go about changing that? | 00:48 |
| wxl | right click on it → panel settings → appearance | 00:48 |
| roasted | yeah, and system theme - no? | 00:49 |
| wxl | define "system theme" | 00:49 |
| roasted | I want a dark theme. I downloaded a theme and my window title bars changed but I was still on the grayish default theme with the actual lxde bar | 00:50 |
| wxl | you mean you want to change the bar. | 00:51 |
| wxl | if so, see above. | 00:51 |
| roasted | right | 00:51 |
| roasted | and there again, my question still stands. | 00:52 |
| roasted | as I understand it, the bar theme comes about with the openbox theme - or does it not? | 00:52 |
| wxl | not necessarily | 00:52 |
| roasted | I tried to just change the "solid color" by the font is all out of whack. | 00:52 |
| wxl | a "theme" on box look could consist of any number of components | 00:52 |
| roasted | even if I change the bar dark, and the font color white, it only changes the text color on the active window | 00:52 |
| roasted | the rest of the windows open the font is black while the background is black | 00:53 |
| wxl | ther eis the openbox configuration manager, you know? | 00:53 |
| wxl | like there are several ways to change looks through preferences in the menu | 00:53 |
| roasted | customize look and feel? | 00:54 |
| wxl | the program is called lxappearance but it's listed in the menu as customize look and feel under preferences | 00:54 |
| wxl | there's also desktop preferences, openbox configuration manager, etc. | 00:54 |
| roasted | hm | 00:55 |
| roasted | been here too. Guess I'll keep tinkering with it. | 00:55 |
| wxl | i'd like to tell you it's all in one place, but it's not | 00:55 |
| wxl | if you keep playing with it, though, you'll get what you wnat | 00:55 |
| roasted | so is there a way to at least get white fonts with the black background? | 00:59 |
| roasted | because what I'm doing now... in lxappearance... not working | 00:59 |
| wxl | you've tried to change background and foreground in the color tab | 01:02 |
| wxl | ? | 01:02 |
| roasted | guess not | 01:06 |
| roasted | all text is currently white | 01:07 |
| roasted | annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd still black @ lxde bar | 01:07 |
| wxl | that is dealt with separately | 01:07 |
| wxl | like i said you have to right click on the bar for its settings | 01:08 |
| roasted | right, panel settings? | 01:08 |
| wxl | yep | 01:09 |
| wxl | there's no taskbar settings unfortunately but that would be nice | 01:09 |
| roasted | so therefore, I can't adjust the taskbar? | 01:10 |
| roasted | yeah none of these combinations at working | 01:15 |
| roasted | best I can get is all black text, active window white text | 01:16 |
| wxl | well yo ucan always hack the code :) | 01:16 |
| roasted | or install xfce </badjoke> | 01:16 |
| roasted | (had to) | 01:16 |
| roasted | :D | 01:16 |
| roasted | anyway, I'll toy with this later. Thanks for the insight. | 01:17 |
| BWMerlin | I am having an issue where some hyperlinks will open in chrome even though I have set firefox as my default browser | 01:32 |
| holstein | BWMerlin: i would use 'sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser' to set it and see if it sticks | 04:36 |
| BWMerlin | thanks holstein | 04:38 |
| BWMerlin | It was set to auto chrome (I don't know why I set it in preferred applications to firefox as well use in firefox asking it to be the default) | 04:39 |
| BWMerlin | yay it is working thanks again holstein | 04:39 |
| * BWMerlin gives holstein a biscuit | 04:39 | |
| holstein | lol | 04:39 |
| genoobie | hey all | 05:51 |
| genoobie | I now have lubuntu installed on two machines | 05:51 |
| genoobie | I like it...lots | 05:51 |
| genoobie | okay | 06:15 |
| Unit193 | Working? | 06:16 |
| genoobie | Unit193, yes except flash the OS is a beast | 06:19 |
| genoobie | rock on | 06:19 |
| genoobie | and many thanks | 06:19 |
| genoobie | I am considering a re-install | 06:19 |
| === cdoublejj_ is now known as cdoublejj | ||
| Unit193 | genoobie: Oh, did he ever get you to try chrome with pepperflash 11.5? | 06:46 |
| genoobie | no | 06:47 |
| genoobie | that's probably a better long term solution | 06:47 |
| genoobie | on account of the discontinuation of flash support in linux by adobe | 06:48 |
| Unit193 | Well, it's only security releases. I still use FF. | 06:48 |
| genoobie | oh | 06:48 |
| genoobie | yeah FF is super slow | 06:48 |
| Unit193 | Tried xxxterm? | 06:49 |
| genoobie | no | 06:49 |
| genoobie | what is that? | 06:49 |
| genoobie | nm just googled it | 06:50 |
| genoobie | :) | 06:50 |
| Unit193 | Very lightweight browser, vim style keybinds, but you can do basic functions with a mouse. | 06:50 |
| genoobie | ugh, vim = nightmarish memories for me | 06:50 |
| genoobie | although I am 100% sure once you have learned it, it completely rocks | 06:52 |

| roniez_ | anybody have problems with a minimal installation of lubuntu-desktop on a ubuntu-server 12.04 when trying to run synaptic via the menu? i tried searching for some solutions but i have yet been able to find a resolution. | 11:35 |
| roniez_ | It launches requestion permission window but when enter an evelated users or root password it does not open the package manager. | 11:35 |
| roniez_ | but when running it via run using gksudo synaptic it does. | 11:35 |
| roniez_ | Any ideas where i should start looking? | 11:36 |
| === solarcloud is now known as opensports | ||
| holstein | roniez_: "an elevated user" ? | 16:15 |
| holstein | it might matter which user | 16:16 |
| holstein | i would expect it to work this way.. from the menu, the password prompt comes for that user.. if that user can sudo, all is good | 16:16 |
| opensports | FYI ::: https://fosdem.org/2013/news/2013-01-31-streaming/ | 16:17 |
| holstein | opensports: what is that? | 16:18 |
| holstein | opensports: fyi's are better suited for the offtopic channel, unless the information is directly relevant | 16:18 |
| holstein | opensports: what is that link though? | 16:19 |
| holstein | opensports: i need you to resond to me, so i know that you are not spamming links | 16:20 |
| winb | anyone know how I can change my chromium icon? | 19:13 |
| winb | in application launch bar | 19:13 |
| winb | and menu | 19:13 |
| genoobie | hey all | 23:18 |
| Unit193 | Howdy again. | 23:18 |
| genoobie | Unit193, trying to get video and flash etc. to work on this stupid machine | 23:18 |
| Unit193 | So the chrome with pepperflash idea didn't pan out? | 23:18 |
| genoobie | didn't try it because I don't really have the skills :) | 23:19 |
| genoobie | someone suggested the savagefb driver was part of the problem | 23:19 |
| Unit193 | Well, you could also try gnash or lightspark, not sure how well they work as I never use them. Chrome is pretty easy to do, though. | 23:19 |
| genoobie | anyhow, sadly, because I don't have "skills" my solution to many problems I just reinstall linux | 23:20 |
| genoobie | yeah, I installed chrome !work | 23:20 |
| genoobie | people say that they have installed 12.10 and flash / chromium worked out of the box | 23:21 |
| genoobie | I added some repositories to install chrome | 23:21 |
| genoobie | installed flash-nonfree plugins, and some other pkgs | 23:21 |
| genoobie | still no go | 23:21 |
| genoobie | now synaptic gives an error re: duplicates | 23:22 |
| genoobie | see, I'm just not sure of my way around linux | 23:22 |
