IrcsomeBot<Arang> guys i wonder if there's an answer to this, when you put the mouse over an app it deploys a miniature depiction of it, but sometimes this feels annoying, anyone knows how to disable it?01:33
mmikowskiarang: I have seen the setting for this before, gimme a sec01:47
mmikowskiplease ack if you are there and I'll look for it.01:47
IrcsomeBot<Arang> yes01:48
IrcsomeBot<Arang> i am here01:48
mmikowski0k, will look for it... I've got a few ideas01:48
IrcsomeBot<Arang> i was googling the answer if so exist01:48
IrcsomeBot<Arang> good01:48
mmikowskiGot it. Are you using icons-only task manager?01:48
mmikowskiHere's the solution: Right click over the open apps in the panel.01:49
mmikowskiActually, right next to one of them, but not on top of the icon.01:49
mmikowskiYou will then see the option: Configure Icons Only Task Manager01:49
IrcsomeBot<Arang> ok lemme try01:50
mmikowskiSelect that01:50
IrcsomeBot<Arang> yeah!01:50
mmikowskiThen in the first tab, Appearance, the first checkbox is "[x] Show small window previews when hovering over tasks".01:50
mmikowskiUncheck that. And that should do it.01:50
IrcsomeBot<Arang> indeed i unmarked that and now i will get my sanity back01:51
IrcsomeBot<Arang> thanks !01:51
mmikowskino worries!01:51
mmikowskiWe've got a database of a number of common questions at https://kfocus.org/wf and it is searchable. So if you have a similar question, you might check there first.01:52
mmikowskiI'll actually add this hint into that db.01:52
IrcsomeBot<Arang> thanks i will bookmark that into my notion knowledge database01:54
mmikowskicool! Best wishes01:54

user|10How do I install an extension to FireFox? I've downloaded Proton VPNs extension.15:37
arraybolt3user|10: Usually you can install Firefox extensions via the built-in Add-ons and themes menu. I'm guessing that's not what you want though.16:00
arraybolt3Where did you download the extension from?16:01

Roeyhi21:42
Roeyhow do I make Firefox respect the KDE mouse cursor size?? It looks big everywhere xcept for Friefox.  Ther eit gets smallllll21:42
Roeyhow do I fix this?21:42
Roeyhi21:49
Roeytomreyn: ^21:49
mmikowskiRoey: This almost certainly an issue with the snap.21:59
Roey\fuck snap/21:59
Roeyyes.21:59
Roeyhow so?21:59
RoeyI just installed the plasma 5.27 backport, btw21:59
mmikowskiHmm, odd, I just checked, and snap looks good.21:59
Roeythat's when this issue started21:59
mmikowskiWhat version of Kubuntu21:59
mmikowski?21:59
Roey22.1022:00
Roeyalso, fonts in Yakuake are sooooo small22:00
Roeyfor some reason22:00
mmikowskiAh, I was just typing that.22:00
Roeyand in hexchat they're small as well22:00
mmikowskiSo I just checked Firefox, and it looks fine here. 22.04 LTS with 5.27.2 testing.22:00
mmikowskiBUT, for Kubuntu Focus, we are now switching from DPI scaling to Global Scaling because DPI no longer works as well as it did in 5.24.x, and global scaling now works better.22:01
mmikowskiTo do this manually, visit System Settings > Fonts and uncheck [x] Force Font DPI [ 96]22:03
mmikowski96 is the default, your number may be differnt.22:03
mmikowski*different.22:03
mmikowskiThen change the global scale:22:03
mmikowskiSystem Settings > Displays > Global Scale and then increase it to what you're looking for (e.g. 150% is usually good on 4k displays IME).22:04
mmikowskiSo it may not be the snap :)22:04
mmikowskiRoey ^^22:04
mmikowskiThat's assuming you are using DPI scaling. If not, maybe you should.22:05
mmikowskifwiw, DPI scaling no longer works with Google Chrome, but Global Scaling does.22:05
Roey<mmikowski> BUT, for Kubuntu Focus, we are now switching from DPI scaling to Global Scaling because DPI no longer works as well as it did in 5.24.x, and global scaling now works better.23:16
Roeyok23:16
mmikowskiRoey: Did that help?23:16
Roey<mmikowski> To do this manually, visit System Settings > Fonts and uncheck [x] Force Font DPI [ 96] <- it's already unchecked23:17
Roey<mmikowski> System Settings > Displays > Global Scale and then increase it to what you're looking for (e.g. 150% is usually good on 4k displays IME) <- so my monitor is a 32" 4k display, aye23:17
mmikowskiDid that help?23:18
Roeyok23:18
RoeyI changed global scaling to 150%23:19
RoeySO Hexchat fonts are indeed larger now, -but-23:19
Roeythe tops and bottoms of letters in Hexchat cut off.23:19
Roeyoh and the mouse cursor in Firefox is still super small relative to the mouse cursor outside of Firefox.23:20
RoeyI changed it to 120%23:20
Roey120%23:20
Roeyoh dear23:20
Roey%23:20
Roey120%23:20
Roeythat % sign cuts off when I write 120%23:20
Roeyoh dear! it cuts off whole words.23:20
Roeymaybe that's hexchat messing up23:21
Roeyyeah it's cutting off the ends of the sentences, wtf.23:21
Roey120%23:21
Roeyok that looks good <- I just set Global Scaling back to 100%.23:22
mmikowskiRoey: I think that's along the right direction.23:31
mmikowskiSorry, i got pulled into a meeting.23:31
Roeyay23:32
Roeyaye *23:32
Roeywhy did all the fonts change size just b/c I added the KDE plasma 5.27 backport ppa??23:32
mmikowskiAs for Firefox, you might try setting the cursor in System Settings > Appearance > Cursors23:33
mmikowskiI did that here (48px), and the cursor looks good now in Firefox, and is the same size everywhere.23:34
mmikowskiOnce you do that, though, you will need to log out and back in to make sure it takes effect everywhere.23:35
mmikowskiUntil you do, the cursor size will tend to change based on when app you are hovering over.23:35
Roeymmikowski: ahhh ok23:44
Roeyso I have to log out and log back in, got it.23:44
mmikowskiYeah, it's a quirk, or at least it has been for many, many years.23:45
Roeyok23:45
RoeySounds like what I call a "papercut".  Just like the slide direction when you have a matrix of 2 rows of 3 columns of virtual desktops.  Fucking bug hasn't gotten fixed in more than  a decade23:45
