filiskoguys, is there a way to change the background color of lubuntu icons when they are selected?11:23
filiskoso, the background of the text11:23
filiskowhich is blue usually I think11:23
filiskolubuntu's blue :))11:23
sgo11hi, my lxpanel's input method, bluetooth, wireless, volume icons are not using my icon theme. I don't know what icons are they using. how can I change those icons? thanks a lot.11:24
leszekfilisko: should be using the gtk3 selection color. So changing the theme can help here11:32
leszeksgo11: hard to tell. Your icon theme might be not complete or missing those icons.11:33
sgo11leszek, I am using Paper icon theme. They have all that icons in /usr/share/icons/Paper/24x24/panel/. I have no idea how lxpanel panel config file works and which icons are they looking at. I can not find any useful information online by google.11:36
sgo11to solve this issue, 1, if I can provide custom icon in the panel config file. something like config { icon = /path/a.svg }. 2, if I know which icon file they are using, i can simply put those icon files to the desired destination locations. but I can not find any docs about this.11:37
leszek1st don't use google. 2nd usually no doc mention this.11:37
leszekmost of the items in the panel use the icon provided by the application itself11:38
leszekso network-manager uses whatever is defined as default icon in its code11:38
leszekno way to change that besides switching the icon theme itself11:38
leszekthe same goes for plugin items of the panel itself. They use the default theme icons11:39
leszekIf you want to know which icons exactly take a look at the source code of lxpanel11:39
sgo11leszek, I am checking the config file "~/.config/lxpanel/Lubuntu/panels/panel" file. and the input method seems to be the line "Plugin { type = tray }". I have no idea how to check which application this is... why doesn't lxde/openbox/lxpanel have a doc? this is kinda unbelievable.11:42
leszeksgo11: the closest to a documentation you can find here http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXPanel11:48
leszekthough it might be outdated11:49
leszekin general I never saw a documentation for any tool mentioning the icon names it uses from the default theme11:49
sgo11leszek, I read that page already. It doesn't really mention which icon those indicators are using...11:52
sgo11I changed the lxpanel background color to be solid black. but the task bar fonts are all black too. I can not change the task bar font colors. how to do that? I did change Global { fontcolor=#ffffff }, but it does nothing.13:33
sgo11How to change focused task color and unfocused task color in the taskbar too? I can't do anything with lxpanel...13:35
swift110hey all13:49
leszeksgo11: this depends on the gtk theme. So you need to adapt the gtk theme either globally for buttons or only for the lxpanel itself. See the wikipage it has some instructions linked for gtk theming13:51
sgo11leszek, thanks. so the lxpanel is not really using that one config file, instead, I have to config gtk theme too. Currently, I am using the nightmare theme which only has one directory called "openbox-3". it does not have index.theme file and gtk-2.0 etc.. I have no idea which gtk theme I am using now...13:54
leszeksgo11: a normal config file. I don't know any other desktop not using the themes for that purposes14:11
leszeksgo11: you can see what gtk theme you are using in the appearance settings14:12
sgo11leszek, do you mean lxappearance app? thanks.14:13
leszekyeah exactly14:13
sgo11leszek, thanks.14:14
sgo11After changing gtk theme, the width of "menu" and "clock" in the lxpanel is not correct. It only shows half of the text. the menu means the start menu in the left corner. I did google. I haven't found how to fix this issue in gtkrc file. Do anyone know? thanks a lot.14:54
loptaIs it possible to have UK English as my language of choice but with a US keyboard layout?19:46
lopta...or are those two things bound somehow?19:46
krytariklopta: Yes, those aren't tied.19:54
loptaThanks krytarik19:59
loptaWill Lubuntu know or care if I take it out of one 32-bit PC and put it into another one?20:58
* lopta tries it21:00
wxllopta: you mean move the drive?21:01
loptawxl: Yes.21:06
wxllopta: oh yeah, linux generally doesn't care.21:06
wxllopta: you might run into some graphics issues but even those are easily resolved.21:06
loptaI just tried it. It didn't work but I may have used a 64-bit image for the first machine, even though it only has 1G RAM21:06
wxllopta: yeah, 64 bit will NOT work on a 32 bit machine. vice versa is fine.21:07
loptaThe second machine definitely isn't amd64-capable.21:07
lopta...so that's understandable.21:07
Kamilionlopta: yeah, ubuntu's totally fine with hardware moves as long as the hardware supports it.21:07
Kamilionlopta: there's also some tricks to go from 64bit to 32bit if needed21:07
loptaKamilion: That's useful to know, thanks.21:07
Kamilionit requires a partial reinstall21:08
Kamiliondump your currently installed list of packages, a copy of your /etc, and your /home21:08
Kamilionthe packages are the only thing that determine 64bitness or 32bitness, the configuration files are agnostic, as well as the contents of user homedirs21:09
Kamilion32bit'll run everywhere, currently. It supports basic PAE and should handle 64bit machines with up to 64GB of ram.21:10
wxlyou can do 64 -> 32 with multiarch but yeah there's a fair amount of work that needs to be done to make it work "right"21:11
loptaFor "Severity" would I put "trivial" or "feature"?21:12
wxlhm?21:12
KamilionReporting a bug?21:14
loptaOh you know what, that's for a totally different channel! :-)21:15
loptaThe Lubuntu question sprang to mind because that's what was on the disk. The PR/bug was for something else entirely.21:18
