| V1A | euhh | 00:26 |
|---|---|---|
| V1A | how do i modify the GUI/desktop colors | 00:26 |
| sirriffsalot | V1A: system settings > colors :P | 00:40 |
| sirriffsalot | Or on global theme/theme settings, somewhere in those depending on what you're looking to change | 00:41 |
| V|A | oi | 15:18 |
| V|A | how can i cutsomize my theme/GUI colors ? | 15:18 |
| Iamahuman4 | V|A: you'll find presets in the system settings ... that is on KDE at least, so if you on 20.10 system settings -> Appearance | 15:45 |
| V|A | 20.04 i think here and it came with KFC | 15:46 |
| V|A | (xf somthing..) lol | 15:46 |
| Iamahuman4 | XFCE? LDXE? | 15:47 |
| V|A | yea the first sounds good | 15:48 |
| V|A | the one that came you know i didnt switch anyhting up i just put it on the drive as is | 15:48 |
| OvenWerk1 | V|A: https://www.xfce-look.org/browse/cat/ might be a place to start. | 16:04 |
| OvenWerk1 | but first look at the themes preinstalled | 16:04 |
| OvenWerk1 | settings manager->appearance->style | 16:05 |
| OvenWerk1 | settings manager -> window manager -> style->theme | 16:06 |
| OvenWerk1 | I find moheli quite good, gives good contrast, focused window is more obvious | 16:07 |
| OvenWerk1 | V|A: I just installed https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1231025/ | 16:08 |
| OvenWerk1 | I like it as it gives clear indication of what is what instead of blending everything together as is common these days | 16:09 |
| OvenWerk1 | V|A: do be aware that many of the themes at https://www.xfce-look.org/ are out of date (gtk2 only) but each theme does show when it was last updated | 16:11 |
| V|A | ahhh looks good OvenWerk1 | 16:12 |
| V|A | apperance/style | 16:12 |
| V|A | word i used didnt work theme/colors etc | 16:12 |
| V|A | think i prefer not installing anything additional cause im new | 16:14 |
| OvenWerk1 | I can understand that | 16:14 |
| V|A | i prefer to just alter hexvlalues etc | 16:14 |
| V|A | or mebe make my own theme in the future, i always did | 16:14 |
| V|A | never 100% happy with whats out there | 16:14 |
| V|A | btwm just selected "greybord-dark" in styles and voila almost perfect | 16:15 |
| OvenWerk1 | colours in modern themes are not very nice | 16:15 |
| V|A | i just wnated something neat with dark greyish blueish greenish colours .. that one is dope | 16:15 |
| OvenWerk1 | good | 16:15 |
| sirriffsalot | V|A: still hacking away at the themes/colours? :D | 17:01 |
| V|A | well yes and no sirriffsalot | 17:05 |
| V|A | happy sys gui is fixed but i see apps are more individual | 17:05 |
| V|A | wont be a problem for browsers etc | 17:05 |
| V|A | hexchat fdor example is ugly af prolly can be fixed | 17:05 |
| V1A | hallouuuuuuu | 19:31 |
| V1A | is it possible for me to hide elements7devices from the audio mixer | 19:31 |
| V1A | i got 2 soundcards basically .. but its showing 2 more additional items that are completely useless for me | 19:31 |
| Iamahuman4 | what are the items called V1A? | 19:36 |
| V1A | euhh | 19:39 |
| V1A | well im under "output devices" its a GUI | 19:39 |
| V1A | so its showing me the actual brand names | 19:39 |
| V1A | like "Navi 10 HDMI Audio Digi" blah.. | 19:40 |
| Iamahuman4 | V1A: Oh the HDMIs ... those can run up to 8 | 19:40 |
| V1A | then i got starship/matisse audiocontroller anal.. | 19:40 |
| V1A | i dont understan Iamahuman4 | 19:40 |
| V1A | run 8 what? | 19:40 |
| V1A | im trying to get rid of stuff | 19:41 |
| V1A | its more or less cosmetic | 19:41 |
| Iamahuman4 | 8 is because the maxed out SURROUND sound is 7 channels + subwoofer i.e. < 120 Hz | 19:41 |
| V1A | its just a hassle to deal with 2 items i dont need | 19:41 |
| V1A | i have 4 different audio outputs, i use 2 | 19:41 |
| V1A | and i dont use hdmi at all | 19:41 |
| OvenWerk1 | In which application are you seeing these devices? | 19:43 |
| * OvenWerk1 agrees HDMI is generally useless for anything other than watching movies... | 19:44 | |
| V1A | header says "volume control" | 19:45 |
| V1A | let me see if i can find out | 19:45 |
| OvenWerk1 | V1A: if by "audio mixer" you mean pavucontrol (opened from the panel icon) then got to the end tab called configuation and set their profile to "off" | 19:45 |
| V1A | yeeeea lovely | 19:46 |
| V1A | thxalot OvenWerk1 | 19:46 |
| V1A | y didnt i see that | 19:47 |
| Iamahuman4 | he's the best :) | 19:47 |
| V1A | eh ic windows even keep size afterclosing that would bbe excellent. does it remain after reboot? | 19:47 |
| V1A | just a general question if uu dont mind | 19:48 |
| V1A | to my understanding mac/osx is pretty muh linux | 19:49 |
| V1A | so in theory/with workarounds software intended for mac should run on ubuntu ? | 19:49 |
| * OvenWerk1 has never run a mac and finds windows audio utilities completly non-understandable from the very few times he has had to look at windows | 19:50 | |
| V1A | dang i see now i can just click the arrow and didnt even need to open the mixer app to switch outputs .. loveley | 19:51 |
| V1A | i see how coming from here makes windows look a bit crippled | 19:51 |
| Iamahuman4 | Btw my KlingPad (US 20.10) gives blank screens and a cursor after login, this happens in both "Ubuntu Studio" and "Plasma". I'm thinking that since I have Timeshift daily backups enabled on it, I should go backwards a couple of days | 20:09 |
| Iamahuman4 | So I need to find my US 20.10 stick, boot that, install Timeshift from the official PPA, mount the disks and fire up Timeshift and it will know where everything should go | 20:11 |
| Iamahuman4 | found it. gonna see if going backwards in time will help the OS | 20:12 |
| Iamahuman4 | but if the problem is not in /-partition but in configs this will not fix it, coz the UI does not present reasonable tools to avoid backupping bunch of app caches, but to take the damn settings | 20:15 |
| Iamahuman4 | I'm going to restore a 3 days old version of the /-partition. Here goes, and if it is broken stuff in .dotdirectories this will not help | 20:22 |
| Iamahuman4 | looks like I'm back in ... yeah desktop opens up | 20:26 |
| Iamahuman4 | upgrades & reboot ... just some python3 library stuff in Discover updates | 20:29 |
| Iamahuman4 | Another installation saved by Timeshift. It is a cli, but I'm just using the gui. prlly could conf it to grab the relevant .dotdirs from homedir and disregard the massive caches. App can always rebuild its cache, who cares | 20:31 |
