rafaellagunasuncokret, I was looking for you11:49
suncokrethello11:50
suncokreti am here11:50
suncokret:)11:50
suncokretwhat's new?11:50
rafaellagunaI figured out what problem was, a few minutes after we disconnected11:50
rafaellagunaI feel stupid :|11:50
rafaellagunathere's no bug at all11:51
rafaellagunasince a few releases, synaptic is a GTK3 app. Crux is a GTK2 theme with no support for GTK3 widgets. That's the problem. It's a very very old theme, unmaintained.11:52
suncokretso which theme is gtk311:53
suncokret?11:53
rafaellagunamany, ambiance, radiance, Lubuntu Box ;) , Zuki, Elementary, etc...11:53
suncokretis any of them instaled with system or i need to download them?11:54
rafaellagunayou have to install light-themes (these are ubuntu themes), or use the Lubuntu ones (already installed if you have Lubuntu, abviously)11:55
rafaellagunabut you can download more, at www.gnome-look.org  be sure to look for GTK3 themes only11:55
rafaellagunaCrux is still there for compatibility, but there's no reason to exist anymore if new apps cannot use it11:55
suncokretand why all other applications under root didn't accept colors?11:56
suncokretall are GTK?11:56
suncokretall are GTK3?11:56
suncokretfor example11:56
suncokretgrub customizer11:56
suncokretgufw11:56
rafaellagunamaybe because the user colors are meant to be used only for that user11:56
suncokreti will try with other theme11:56
rafaellagunayes, every app started as root (even using "gksudo pcmanfm" will become root)11:56
suncokretand see will this work11:57
rafaellagunayes, try, there're plenty nice GTK3 theems out there. of course I recommend use Lubuntu, maybe because I did it :D11:57
suncokretyou mean11:58
suncokretlubuntu default theme?11:58
rafaellagunayup11:58
suncokretsome themes don't alow to change custom colors11:58
suncokreti hope that most of GTK3 themes aloww that11:58
suncokretallow11:58
suncokret:)11:58
suncokreti am not in lubuntu now11:59
suncokretand i have installed 13.0411:59
rafaellagunaif you want to keep it updated (GTK3 and icons too) use the instructions provided here: http://lubuntublog.blogspot.com/p/artwork.html12:00
suncokreti have to return position of lubuntu 14.0412:00
suncokretso12:00
rafaellagunait doesn't matter12:00
suncokretcan you try to use some gtk3 theme12:00
ikoniais the lubuntu PPC port maintained by the core/same team as the x86 version or sperate people12:00
rafaellagunaand remember, colorization isn't a theme feature, it's a desktop feature, Ubuntu does not colorize, Lubuntu does12:00
suncokretand change background color in theme12:00
suncokretand then try to run synaptic12:01
suncokretcan you try that now12:01
suncokretuse some gtk3 theme12:01
rafaellagunayes :)12:01
rafaellagunaI'm using Lubuntu default theme now in MATE, and Synaptic uses it12:01
suncokretyou have MATE on Lubuntu?12:02
rafaellagunaconfirmed12:02
rafaellagunayes, I'm testing it, I have lots of desktops :D12:02
suncokreti was tried too12:02
suncokretxfce12:02
rafaellagunaopenbox, windowmaker, xfce, lxqt, etc.12:02
suncokretcinnamon, it is very slow12:02
suncokretand12:02
rafaellagunaI need them to test my themes12:02
suncokretcan you change to LXDE12:02
rafaellagunacinnamon and gnome3 are really slow on old computers12:02
suncokretand then try12:02
suncokretto run synaptic12:03
suncokretbecause12:03
suncokreti was instal xfce on lubuntu 13.0412:03
suncokretand synaptic didn't acept selected themes12:03
suncokretand in LXDE it accept12:03
rafaellagunatrust me, install lubuntu-artwork package and it will work on root apps too12:03
rafaellagunabecause it's installed in /usr/share/themes12:04
suncokretcan i find that in synaptic?12:04
rafaellagunayes12:04
suncokreti will try12:04
rafaellagunalubuntu-artwork12:04
suncokretand12:05
suncokretis there something similar12:05
suncokretfor xfce?12:05
suncokretin synaptic?12:05
rafaellagunaxubuntu has shimmer-themes, gtk3 too12:05
suncokreti will try12:06
rafaellagunaok, enjoy!12:06
suncokretthank you12:07
rafaellagunayou're welcome ;)12:07
suncokreti'll be back to tell you results12:07
rafaellagunafine, tell me12:07
suncokreti have just one partition for linux12:07
suncokretand i have dual boot with xp12:07
rafaellagunadon't you have a partition for your home?12:08
suncokretand i use clonezilla, or norton ghost12:08
rafaellagunagparted works better and doesn't erase data12:08
suncokretfor backup position of instaled and configured system12:08
suncokreti use it for backup12:08
suncokretpartition to image12:08
suncokret:)12:08
suncokretno, i home is on \12:09
rafaellagunaI have en external disc for that12:09
rafaellagunafor backups I mean12:09
suncokretno, home is on \12:09
rafaellagunait's safer to have a separate home partition, if you need rto reinstall and format Linux12:09
suncokreti know12:09
suncokretbut i copied some directories from home .config12:10
suncokretwith configurations from programs12:10
suncokret:)12:10
suncokretso i have that12:10
rafaellagunatoo much work :D12:10
suncokretno12:10
suncokreti don't use much programs12:11
rafaellagunaI just clone my partition to the USB disc12:11
suncokreti have now backup images from Lubuntu 13.04 and 14.0412:15
suncokreti save it on other partition12:15
rafaellagunaso you can install 14.04 on top :)12:15
suncokretnow i have on linux partition 13.0412:16
suncokretand i can delete it12:16
rafaellagunaright12:17
suncokretand change to 14.0412:17
suncokretfor about 3 minutes12:17
suncokret:)12:17
rafaellagunaI recommend you 14.04, really, it's an improved system12:17
suncokretif i solve this with colors i will use 14.0412:19
rafaellagunaI'm not sure about colors, but it's not so important to colorize root apps, but they must use your theme, even in standard colour mode12:20
rafaellagunaanother solution is changing the root theme, using "gksudo lxappearance"12:20
suncokretno12:20
rafaellagunathen you can colorize it too12:20
suncokreti tried that12:20
suncokretand when you type12:20
suncokret"gksudo lxappearance"12:20
suncokretsystem block12:20
suncokretand you can only restart it12:21
suncokretwith restart taster12:21
suncokret:)12:21
suncokretthat is bug12:21
rafaellagunanot for me, I'm testing right now12:21
rafaellagunait works fine12:21
suncokreti was try that on LXDE on lubuntu 14.0412:22
suncokretand system was blocked12:22
suncokret:)12:22
suncokretthen12:22
rafaellagunaO_o12:22
suncokreti was try12:22
suncokretto login in openbox12:22
suncokretand then i use "gksudo lxappearance"12:23
suncokretand i change colors12:23
suncokretbut synaptic didn't accept them12:23
suncokret.12:23

rafaellagunagtk2? what for?12:23
koellthey dont look that good like the default one =(12:23
koelli dont know if i can take them seriously xD12:24
rafaellagunaLubuntu theme is not "serious"?12:24

rafaellagunamy pleasure :)12:27
koellhey phillw :)12:27

koelli may just adjust the colors :D12:27
rafaellagunathanks :)12:28
koellrafaellaguna: O_o?12:28
rafaellagunaI made Lubuntu theme :D12:29

koelli like the one really12:29
rafaellagunathat's why I thank you :D12:29
koellbut what i most like is, it looks good all together, colors, icons, theme etc12:29
rafaellagunait's being accepted very well12:29
rafaellagunayes, I tried to make eye pleasant and homogeneous, nothing disturbing12:30
koelli like the new white background since 14.0412:30
koelli guess it was gray before?12:30
rafaellagunayes, it matches new Ubuntu themes, but I think it suits better with our colours12:30
koelli dont like ubuntu thems :D12:30
rafaellagunaeven better with a shadow under the windows, using compton12:31
rafaellagunaI do, but I like this better12:31
koelllubuntu theme look really good with i3wm12:32
rafaellagunareally? I didn't tested that DE12:32
koelldo you know how to change the background color of pcmanfm sidebar?12:32
rafaellagunato-do note  ;)12:32
rafaellagunayou can't, it's in the code of the theme. only changing the theme12:33
koelloh12:33
rafaellagunaor if you're brave enough you can edit the theme file ;)12:33
koelli thought i can tweak that12:33
koellit is in the gtk2 theme file?12:33
rafaellagunayes, in pcmanfm.rc12:34
rafaellagunanope, sorry, in gtkrc12:34
koellhaha12:34
rafaellagunagtk_color_scheme = "sidepane_color:#dae0e6"12:34
rafaellagunagtk_color_scheme = "sidebar_color:#dae0e6"12:34
rafaellagunaboth12:34
koelli tried the default lxde/openbox themes. they look... weird12:34
rafaellagunafirst lines12:34
rafaellagunayeah, it looks... old12:34
koellwhere do i find that gtkrc?12:35
rafaellagunain gtk212:35
rafaellagunaI recommend you to use gcolor2 to generate a nice colour12:36
koellgreat :) do you know where to find some other icons? really i do like lubuntu default look, but i have to see something different sometimes :D12:36
rafaellagunain www.gnome-look.org too12:36
koellim a lubuntu user for almost 4 years now \o/12:37
rafaellagunawow, thanks! I love to hear that :D12:37
koelldo you design the LXQT thing as well?12:37
rafaellagunayes, I'm on it12:37
koelli dont like to switch =)12:38
rafaellagunayes, I'm comfortable too, but change is needed, it's the future :)12:38
koellit looks not that simple for me imho :D12:38
rafaellagunadon't worry, I'll make it so Lubuntu like you won't notice any difference :)12:39
koellhahahah :D12:39
koelli just take a look on the new kde5. i think it still llooks stupid with that flat design + the shadow. hahahaha12:40
rafaellagunayes, too flat, I know it's "trendy", but people get tired of that in a few hours, that's why I hate iOS andd the new Android, and installed MIUI instead12:40
rafaellagunain my phone, I mean12:41
koellim nothing against flat, but they didnt decide between flat and sceumorphsmsmms xd12:41
koellbut hey, they do their work in freetime, i appreciate that :)12:42
rafaellagunathe brain cannot "read" graphics in flat design after a few hours, we all designers know that12:42
koellreally?12:42
koellmaybe thats where long shadow design came in :D12:42
rafaellagunayup, brain is lazy :D it wants well defined areas to look, and so flat colours are confusing12:43
koellrafaellaguna: so i can only use gtk2 themes in lubuntu right?12:45
rafaellagunanoooo, Lubuntu default theme is gtk3 (and gtk2 for old apps)12:45
koelloh12:46
rafaellagunaI have to go now12:47
