[11:23] <filisko> guys, is there a way to change the background color of lubuntu icons when they are selected?
[11:23] <filisko> so, the background of the text
[11:23] <filisko> which is blue usually I think
[11:23] <filisko> lubuntu's blue :))
[11:24] <sgo11> hi, 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.
[11:32] <leszek> filisko: should be using the gtk3 selection color. So changing the theme can help here
[11:33] <leszek> sgo11: hard to tell. Your icon theme might be not complete or missing those icons.
[11:36] <sgo11> leszek, 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.
[11:37] <sgo11> to 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] <leszek> 1st don't use google. 2nd usually no doc mention this.
[11:38] <leszek> most of the items in the panel use the icon provided by the application itself
[11:38] <leszek> so network-manager uses whatever is defined as default icon in its code
[11:38] <leszek> no way to change that besides switching the icon theme itself
[11:39] <leszek> the same goes for plugin items of the panel itself. They use the default theme icons
[11:39] <leszek> If you want to know which icons exactly take a look at the source code of lxpanel
[11:42] <sgo11> leszek, 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.
[11:48] <leszek> sgo11: the closest to a documentation you can find here http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXPanel
[11:49] <leszek> though it might be outdated
[11:49] <leszek> in general I never saw a documentation for any tool mentioning the icon names it uses from the default theme
[11:52] <sgo11> leszek, I read that page already. It doesn't really mention which icon those indicators are using...
[13:33] <sgo11> I 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.
[13:35] <sgo11> How to change focused task color and unfocused task color in the taskbar too? I can't do anything with lxpanel...
[13:49] <swift110> hey all
[13:51] <leszek> sgo11: 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 theming
[13:54] <sgo11> leszek, 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...
[14:11] <leszek> sgo11: a normal config file. I don't know any other desktop not using the themes for that purposes
[14:12] <leszek> sgo11: you can see what gtk theme you are using in the appearance settings
[14:13] <sgo11> leszek, do you mean lxappearance app? thanks.
[14:13] <leszek> yeah exactly
[14:14] <sgo11> leszek, thanks.
[14:54] <sgo11> After 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.
[19:46] <lopta> Is 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?
[19:54] <krytarik> lopta: Yes, those aren't tied.
[19:59] <lopta> Thanks krytarik
[20:58] <lopta> Will Lubuntu know or care if I take it out of one 32-bit PC and put it into another one?
[21:00]  * lopta tries it
[21:01] <wxl> lopta: you mean move the drive?
[21:06] <lopta> wxl: Yes.
[21:06] <wxl> lopta: oh yeah, linux generally doesn't care.
[21:06] <wxl> lopta: you might run into some graphics issues but even those are easily resolved.
[21:06] <lopta> I 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 RAM
[21:07] <wxl> lopta: yeah, 64 bit will NOT work on a 32 bit machine. vice versa is fine.
[21:07] <lopta> The second machine definitely isn't amd64-capable.
[21:07] <lopta> ...so that's understandable.
[21:07] <Kamilion> lopta: yeah, ubuntu's totally fine with hardware moves as long as the hardware supports it.
[21:07] <Kamilion> lopta: there's also some tricks to go from 64bit to 32bit if needed
[21:07] <lopta> Kamilion: That's useful to know, thanks.
[21:08] <Kamilion> it requires a partial reinstall
[21:08] <Kamilion> dump your currently installed list of packages, a copy of your /etc, and your /home
[21:09] <Kamilion> the packages are the only thing that determine 64bitness or 32bitness, the configuration files are agnostic, as well as the contents of user homedirs
[21:10] <Kamilion> 32bit'll run everywhere, currently. It supports basic PAE and should handle 64bit machines with up to 64GB of ram.
[21:11] <wxl> you 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"
[21:12] <lopta> For "Severity" would I put "trivial" or "feature"?
[21:12] <wxl> hm?
[21:14] <Kamilion> Reporting a bug?
[21:15] <lopta> Oh you know what, that's for a totally different channel! :-)
[21:18] <lopta> The Lubuntu question sprang to mind because that's what was on the disk. The PR/bug was for something else entirely.
