Omnifrog | why is the icon text on my Desktop blurry? http://imgur.com/a/6EMFK | 01:09 |

minasota | I was at my sisters and it was next to the front porch. I didn't feel like spending a Saturday night in the ER, so I chopped it's head off | 01:31 |
minasota | Omnifrog: just desktop icons or other places, too? | 01:32 |
Omnifrog | just the icons | 01:32 |
minasota | what distro? | 01:33 |
Omnifrog | ubuntu | 01:33 |
Omnifrog | well, xfce on a Kubuntu base install | 01:33 |
minasota | It's weird only the icons are blurry. If it was a font setting you would think everything would be blurry | 01:36 |
minasota | Are the icons fixed? Should be a index.theme file somewhere maybe | 01:39 |
Omnifrog | there are 20 or so index.theme files all in /usr/share/ | 01:45 |
minasota | Which one are you using? | 01:46 |
Omnifrog | good question | 01:47 |
minasota | Try a different theme, one that comes with the default build and see if it does the same thing | 01:48 |
Omnifrog | oh, it does the same thing. I've fiddled with settings several times. downloaded new themes. that seems to create new problems | 01:49 |
Omnifrog | the xfce settings panel is baffling at times | 01:52 |
Omnifrog | where the hell is the themes manager ? | 01:52 |
minasota | hmm, is there a ~/.cache/sessions directory or a ~/.config/xcfe... | 01:53 |
Omnifrog | there is | 01:54 |
minasota | from xcfe wiki... If the theme contains scalable icons (~/.icons/<theme_name>/scalable) make sure you have librsvg installed | 01:54 |
Omnifrog | it is installed | 01:56 |
minasota | Sounds like the more themes you and install and the more you try to configure, it's saving those sessions in ~/.cache/sessions. I have no idea why the icons have blurry text though. Other than maybe they're not scalable | 01:59 |
Omnifrog | they were blurry right from the start though. this is a new build | 02:00 |
minasota | ah | 02:00 |
Omnifrog | I've had this problem with xfce before | 02:00 |
Omnifrog | one of the reasons I kept going back to KDE | 02:00 |
Omnifrog | but I just cant take KDE's shit anymore >.> | 02:01 |
minasota | do you have a xsettings.xml anywhere under ~/.config/xcfe | 02:01 |
Omnifrog | - /home/bork/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml | 02:03 |
minasota | You can try removing that file and the save sessions. Reboot and load a native theme | 02:03 |
minasota | I'm looking through my notes. Something similar happened to me, not with the icons but something else weird. I finally removed the cache and that xsettings file and it seemed to work. Not sure why or if it's something you need to do. | 02:06 |
Omnifrog | ooh, A Clue! (yeah, I've been watching too much 'Blues Clues' with my grand daughter this week ) | 02:06 |
Omnifrog | from xsettings.xml .... | 02:07 |
Omnifrog | <property name="IconThemeName" type="string" value="elementary-xfce-darkest"/> | 02:07 |
Omnifrog | most of the other lines contain "type="empty" | 02:08 |
minasota | yeah, but whatever changes you make are just going to populate your ~./cache/sessions. Delete that crap and the xsetting file and you should have a clean slate | 02:08 |
Omnifrog | I wonder if the <property name="DPI" type="int" value="97"/> might be at fault | 02:09 |
minasota | Possible. But that would show up in the index.theme file for whichever one you're using, no? | 02:12 |
Omnifrog | nope. it doesnt | 02:15 |
Omnifrog | .. | 02:17 |
Omnifrog | <property name="ThemeName" type="empty"/><property name="IconThemeName" type="string" value="elementary-xfce-darkest"/> | 02:17 |
Omnifrog | so I guess I'm nor having a theme but only an icon theme | 02:17 |
Omnifrog | s/nor/not | 02:18 |
minasota | yeah, and you have stuff mismatched and possibly missing. Delete the sessions and xml file | 02:19 |
Omnifrog | I will tackle this tomorrow I think. The wife and kid are now in bed and my next priority should probably be beer | 02:20 |
minasota | They will regenerate after you reboot... Hopefully :) | 02:20 |
minasota | ok | 02:20 |
Omnifrog | eh, just rename them to .bac | 02:20 |
Omnifrog | I am diggin the hell out of this new SSD though | 02:21 |
minasota | yeah, but that xml file changes, it wont hurt to get rid of it. Test it out. Apply a new icon set and check the file | 02:22 |
minasota | If there isn't one there, it will make it | 02:22 |
Omnifrog | honestly I don't see why they didnt integrate this crap into systemd | 02:25 |
