[00:43] <roasted> hello?
[00:44] <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
[00:45] <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
[00:46] <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
[00:48] <roasted> so how would I go about changing that?
[00:48] <wxl> right click on it → panel settings → appearance
[00:49] <roasted> yeah, and system theme - no?
[00:49] <wxl> define "system theme"
[00:50] <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
[00:51] <wxl> you mean you want to change the bar.
[00:51] <wxl> if so, see above.
[00:51] <roasted> right
[00:52] <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
[00:53] <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
[00:54] <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.
[00:55] <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
[00:59] <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
[01:02] <wxl> you've tried to change background and foreground in the color tab
[01:02] <wxl> ?
[01:06] <roasted> guess not
[01:07] <roasted> all text is currently white
[01:07] <roasted> annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd still black @ lxde bar
[01:07] <wxl> that is dealt with separately
[01:08] <wxl> like i said you have to right click on the bar for its settings
[01:08] <roasted> right, panel settings?
[01:09] <wxl> yep
[01:09] <wxl> there's no taskbar settings unfortunately but that would be nice
[01:10] <roasted> so therefore, I can't adjust the taskbar?
[01:15] <roasted> yeah none of these combinations at working
[01:16] <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
[01:17] <roasted> anyway, I'll toy with this later. Thanks for the insight.
[01:32] <BWMerlin> I am having an issue where some hyperlinks will open in chrome even though I have set firefox as my default browser
[04:36] <holstein> BWMerlin: i would use 'sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser' to set it and see if it sticks
[04:38] <BWMerlin> thanks holstein
[04:39] <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
[05:51] <genoobie> hey all
[05:51] <genoobie> I now have lubuntu installed on two machines
[05:51] <genoobie> I like it...lots
[06:15] <genoobie> okay
[06:16] <Unit193> Working?
[06:19] <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
[06:46] <Unit193> genoobie: Oh, did he ever get you to try chrome with pepperflash 11.5?
[06:47] <genoobie> no
[06:47] <genoobie> that's probably a better long term solution
[06:48] <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
[06:49] <Unit193> Tried xxxterm?
[06:49] <genoobie> no
[06:49] <genoobie> what is that?
[06:50] <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
[06:52] <genoobie> although I am 100% sure once you have learned it, it completely rocks
[11:35] <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.
[11:36] <roniez_> Any ideas where i should start looking?
[16:15] <holstein> roniez_: "an elevated user" ?
[16:16] <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
[16:17] <opensports> FYI ::: https://fosdem.org/2013/news/2013-01-31-streaming/
[16:18] <holstein> opensports: what is that?
[16:18] <holstein> opensports: fyi's are better suited for the offtopic channel, unless the information is directly relevant
[16:19] <holstein> opensports: what is that link though?
[16:20] <holstein> opensports: i need you to resond to me, so i know that you are not spamming links
[19:13] <winb> anyone know how I can change my chromium icon?
[19:13] <winb> in application launch bar
[19:13] <winb> and menu
[23:18] <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?
[23:19] <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.
[23:20] <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
[23:21] <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
[23:22] <genoobie> now synaptic gives an error re: duplicates
[23:22] <genoobie> see, I'm just not sure of my way around linux
