[00:26] <V1A> euhh
[00:26] <V1A> how do i modify the GUI/desktop colors
[00:40] <sirriffsalot> V1A: system settings > colors :P
[00:41] <sirriffsalot> Or on global theme/theme settings, somewhere in those depending on what you're looking to change
[15:18] <V|A> oi
[15:18] <V|A> how can i cutsomize my theme/GUI colors ?
[15:45] <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
[15:46] <V|A> 20.04 i think here and it came with KFC
[15:46] <V|A> (xf somthing..) lol
[15:47] <Iamahuman4> XFCE? LDXE?
[15:48] <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
[16:04] <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
[16:05] <OvenWerk1> settings manager->appearance->style
[16:06] <OvenWerk1> settings manager -> window manager -> style->theme
[16:07] <OvenWerk1> I find moheli quite good, gives good contrast, focused window is more obvious
[16:08] <OvenWerk1> V|A: I just installed https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1231025/
[16:09] <OvenWerk1> I like it as it gives clear indication of what is what instead of blending everything together as is common these days
[16:11] <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 V|A: do be aware that many of the themes at https://www.xfce-look.org/ are out of date (gtk2 only) but each theme does show when it was last updated
[16:12] <V|A> ahhh looks good OvenWerk1
[16:12] <V|A> apperance/style
[16:12] <V|A> word i used didnt work theme/colors etc
[16:14] <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
[16:15] <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
[17:01] <sirriffsalot> V|A: still hacking away at the themes/colours? :D
[17:05] <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
[19:31] <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
[19:36] <Iamahuman4> what are the items called V1A?
[19:39] <V1A> euhh
[19:39] <V1A> well im under "output devices" its a GUI
[19:39] <V1A> so its showing me the actual brand names
[19:40] <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?
[19:41] <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
[19:43] <OvenWerk1> In which application are you seeing these devices?
[19:44]  * OvenWerk1 agrees HDMI is generally useless for anything other than watching movies...
[19:45] <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"
[19:46] <V1A> yeeeea lovely
[19:46] <V1A> thxalot OvenWerk1
[19:47] <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?
[19:48] <V1A> just a general question if uu dont mind
[19:49] <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 ?
[19:50]  * 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
[19:51] <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
[20:09] <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
[20:11] <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
[20:12] <Iamahuman4> found it. gonna see if going backwards in time will help the OS
[20:15] <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
[20:22] <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
[20:26] <Iamahuman4> looks like I'm back in ... yeah desktop opens up
[20:29] <Iamahuman4> upgrades & reboot ... just some python3 library stuff in Discover updates
[20:31] <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
