[00:23] <lenovo> Hallo
[00:23] <lenovo> jemand da ?
[01:06] <mmikowski> hallo
 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?
[01:47] <mmikowski> arang: I have seen the setting for this before, gimme a sec
[01:47] <mmikowski> please ack if you are there and I'll look for it.
 yes
 i am here
[01:48] <mmikowski> 0k, will look for it... I've got a few ideas
 i was googling the answer if so exist
 good
[01:48] <mmikowski> Got it. Are you using icons-only task manager?
[01:49] <mmikowski> Here's the solution: Right click over the open apps in the panel.
[01:49] <mmikowski> Actually, right next to one of them, but not on top of the icon.
[01:49] <mmikowski> You will then see the option: Configure Icons Only Task Manager
 ok lemme try
[01:50] <mmikowski> Select that
 yeah!
[01:50] <mmikowski> Then in the first tab, Appearance, the first checkbox is "[x] Show small window previews when hovering over tasks".
[01:50] <mmikowski> Uncheck that. And that should do it.
 indeed i unmarked that and now i will get my sanity back
 thanks !
[01:51] <mmikowski> no worries!
[01:52] <mmikowski> We'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] <mmikowski> I'll actually add this hint into that db.
 thanks i will bookmark that into my notion knowledge database
[01:54] <mmikowski> cool! Best wishes
[13:42] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[15:37] <user|10> How do I install an extension to FireFox? I've downloaded Proton VPNs extension.
[16:00] <arraybolt3> user|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.
[16:01] <arraybolt3> Where did you download the extension from?
[16:52] <calminaro> Prova
[21:42] <Roey> hi
[21:42] <Roey> how do I make Firefox respect the KDE mouse cursor size?? It looks big everywhere xcept for Friefox.  Ther eit gets smallllll
[21:42] <Roey> how do I fix this?
[21:49] <Roey> hi
[21:49] <Roey> tomreyn: ^
[21:59] <mmikowski> Roey: This almost certainly an issue with the snap.
[21:59] <Roey> \fuck snap/
[21:59] <Roey> yes.
[21:59] <Roey> how so?
[21:59] <Roey> I just installed the plasma 5.27 backport, btw
[21:59] <mmikowski> Hmm, odd, I just checked, and snap looks good.
[21:59] <Roey> that's when this issue started
[21:59] <mmikowski> What version of Kubuntu
[21:59] <mmikowski> ?
[22:00] <Roey> 22.10
[22:00] <Roey> also, fonts in Yakuake are sooooo small
[22:00] <Roey> for some reason
[22:00] <mmikowski> Ah, I was just typing that.
[22:00] <Roey> and in hexchat they're small as well
[22:00] <mmikowski> So I just checked Firefox, and it looks fine here. 22.04 LTS with 5.27.2 testing.
[22:01] <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.
[22:03] <mmikowski> To do this manually, visit System Settings > Fonts and uncheck [x] Force Font DPI [ 96]
[22:03] <mmikowski> 96 is the default, your number may be differnt.
[22:03] <mmikowski> *different.
[22:03] <mmikowski> Then change the global scale:
[22:04] <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).
[22:04] <mmikowski> So it may not be the snap :)
[22:04] <mmikowski> Roey ^^
[22:05] <mmikowski> That's assuming you are using DPI scaling. If not, maybe you should.
[22:05] <mmikowski> fwiw, DPI scaling no longer works with Google Chrome, but Global Scaling does.
 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] <Roey> ok
[23:16] <mmikowski> Roey: Did that help?
 To do this manually, visit System Settings > Fonts and uncheck [x] Force Font DPI [ 96] <- it's already unchecked
 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, aye
[23:18] <mmikowski> Did that help?
[23:18] <Roey> ok
[23:19] <Roey> I changed global scaling to 150%
[23:19] <Roey> SO Hexchat fonts are indeed larger now, -but-
[23:19] <Roey> the tops and bottoms of letters in Hexchat cut off.
[23:20] <Roey> oh and the mouse cursor in Firefox is still super small relative to the mouse cursor outside of Firefox.
[23:20] <Roey> I changed it to 120%
[23:20] <Roey> 120%
[23:20] <Roey> oh dear
[23:20] <Roey> %
[23:20] <Roey> 120%
[23:20] <Roey> that % sign cuts off when I write 120%
[23:20] <Roey> oh dear! it cuts off whole words.
[23:21] <Roey> maybe that's hexchat messing up
[23:21] <Roey> yeah it's cutting off the ends of the sentences, wtf.
[23:21] <Roey> 120%
[23:22] <Roey> ok that looks good <- I just set Global Scaling back to 100%.
[23:31] <mmikowski> Roey: I think that's along the right direction.
[23:31] <mmikowski> Sorry, i got pulled into a meeting.
[23:32] <Roey> ay
[23:32] <Roey> aye *
[23:32] <Roey> why did all the fonts change size just b/c I added the KDE plasma 5.27 backport ppa??
[23:33] <mmikowski> As for Firefox, you might try setting the cursor in System Settings > Appearance > Cursors
[23:34] <mmikowski> I did that here (48px), and the cursor looks good now in Firefox, and is the same size everywhere.
[23:35] <mmikowski> Once you do that, though, you will need to log out and back in to make sure it takes effect everywhere.
[23:35] <mmikowski> Until you do, the cursor size will tend to change based on when app you are hovering over.
[23:44] <Roey> mmikowski: ahhh ok
[23:44] <Roey> so I have to log out and log back in, got it.
[23:45] <mmikowski> Yeah, it's a quirk, or at least it has been for many, many years.
[23:45] <Roey> ok
[23:45] <Roey> Sounds 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 decade
