[01:09] <Omnifrog> why is the icon text on my Desktop blurry?   http://imgur.com/a/6EMFK
[01:31] <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
[01:32] <minasota> Omnifrog: just desktop icons or other places, too?
[01:32] <Omnifrog> just the icons
[01:33] <minasota> what distro?
[01:33] <Omnifrog> ubuntu
[01:33] <Omnifrog> well, xfce on a Kubuntu base install
[01:36] <minasota> It's weird only the icons are blurry. If it was a font setting you would think everything would be blurry
[01:39] <minasota> Are the icons fixed? Should be a index.theme file somewhere maybe
[01:45] <Omnifrog> there are 20 or so index.theme files all in /usr/share/
[01:46] <minasota> Which one are you using?
[01:47] <Omnifrog> good question
[01:48] <minasota> Try a different theme, one that comes with the default build and see if it does the same thing
[01:49] <Omnifrog> oh, it does the same thing. I've fiddled with settings several times. downloaded new themes. that seems to create new problems
[01:52] <Omnifrog> the xfce settings panel is baffling at times
[01:52] <Omnifrog> where the hell is the themes manager ?
[01:53] <minasota> hmm, is there a ~/.cache/sessions directory or a ~/.config/xcfe...
[01:54] <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
[01:56] <Omnifrog> it is installed
[01:59] <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
[02:00] <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
[02:01] <Omnifrog> but I just cant take KDE's shit anymore >.>
[02:01] <minasota> do you have a xsettings.xml anywhere under ~/.config/xcfe
[02:03] <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
[02:06] <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 )
[02:07] <Omnifrog> from xsettings.xml ....
[02:07] <Omnifrog> <property name="IconThemeName" type="string" value="elementary-xfce-darkest"/>
[02:08] <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
[02:09] <Omnifrog> I wonder if the <property name="DPI" type="int" value="97"/> might be at fault
[02:12] <minasota> Possible. But that would show up in the index.theme file for whichever one you're using, no?
[02:15] <Omnifrog> nope. it doesnt
[02:17] <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
[02:18] <Omnifrog> s/nor/not
[02:19] <minasota> yeah, and you have stuff mismatched and possibly missing. Delete the sessions and xml file
[02:20] <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
[02:21] <Omnifrog> I am diggin the hell out of this new SSD though
[02:22] <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
[02:25] <Omnifrog> honestly I don't see why they didnt integrate this crap into systemd
