Omnifrogwhy is the icon text on my Desktop blurry?   http://imgur.com/a/6EMFK01:09
minasotaI 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 off01:31
minasotaOmnifrog: just desktop icons or other places, too?01:32
Omnifrogjust the icons01:32
minasotawhat distro?01:33
Omnifrogubuntu01:33
Omnifrogwell, xfce on a Kubuntu base install01:33
minasotaIt's weird only the icons are blurry. If it was a font setting you would think everything would be blurry01:36
minasotaAre the icons fixed? Should be a index.theme file somewhere maybe01:39
Omnifrogthere are 20 or so index.theme files all in /usr/share/01:45
minasotaWhich one are you using?01:46
Omnifroggood question01:47
minasotaTry a different theme, one that comes with the default build and see if it does the same thing01:48
Omnifrogoh, it does the same thing. I've fiddled with settings several times. downloaded new themes. that seems to create new problems01:49
Omnifrogthe xfce settings panel is baffling at times01:52
Omnifrogwhere the hell is the themes manager ?01:52
minasotahmm, is there a ~/.cache/sessions directory or a ~/.config/xcfe...01:53
Omnifrogthere is01:54
minasotafrom xcfe wiki... If the theme contains scalable icons (~/.icons/<theme_name>/scalable) make sure you have librsvg installed01:54
Omnifrogit is installed01:56
minasotaSounds 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 scalable01:59
Omnifrogthey were blurry right from the start though. this is a new build02:00
minasotaah02:00
OmnifrogI've had this problem with xfce before02:00
Omnifrogone of the reasons I kept going back to KDE02:00
Omnifrogbut I just cant take KDE's shit anymore >.>02:01
minasotado you have a xsettings.xml anywhere under ~/.config/xcfe02:01
Omnifrog- /home/bork/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml02:03
minasotaYou can try removing that file and the save sessions. Reboot and load a native theme02:03
minasotaI'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
Omnifrogooh, A Clue! (yeah, I've been watching too much 'Blues Clues' with my grand daughter this week )02:06
Omnifrogfrom xsettings.xml ....02:07
Omnifrog<property name="IconThemeName" type="string" value="elementary-xfce-darkest"/>02:07
Omnifrogmost of the other lines contain "type="empty"02:08
minasotayeah, 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 slate02:08
OmnifrogI wonder if the <property name="DPI" type="int" value="97"/> might be at fault02:09
minasotaPossible. But that would show up in the index.theme file for whichever one you're using, no?02:12
Omnifrognope. it doesnt02:15
Omnifrog..02:17
Omnifrog<property name="ThemeName" type="empty"/><property name="IconThemeName" type="string" value="elementary-xfce-darkest"/>02:17
Omnifrogso I guess I'm nor having a theme but only an icon theme02:17
Omnifrogs/nor/not02:18
minasotayeah, and you have stuff mismatched and possibly missing. Delete the sessions and xml file02:19
OmnifrogI will tackle this tomorrow I think. The wife and kid are now in bed and my next priority should probably be beer02:20
minasotaThey will regenerate after you reboot... Hopefully :)02:20
minasotaok02:20
Omnifrogeh, just rename them to .bac02:20
OmnifrogI am diggin the hell out of this new SSD though02:21
minasotayeah, but that xml file changes, it wont hurt to get rid of it. Test it out. Apply a new icon set and check the file02:22
minasotaIf there isn't one there, it will make it02:22
Omnifroghonestly I don't see why they didnt integrate this crap into systemd02:25
