[SOLVED] Running GTK apps without themes

You will have to excuse me if this sounds wrong. But I wished to know if it's possible to run GTK themes without any GTK themes.
Justr curious what the results may actually be and how to go about disabling GTK theme entirely.

I deleted all the themes and Raleigh is still the fallback theme.
Basically Windows 95.
No go.

  • [AUTO-SOLVED] Run an app as privileged user

    Im preparing a package for an app that uses libpcap and requires administrative rights to run properly.
    Currently, the .desktop file for launching this app contains something like this:
    gksudo mono /foo/bar/app.exe
    But it looks like in the moment the app is going to make use of the libpcap library, the rights get lost and the app just force closes...
    I don't know if this is the best procedure for doing so, but certainly, if i run from a terminal:
    sudo mono /foo/bar/app.exe
    I get the expected results and behaviour....
    Can anyone help me?
    EDIT: Looks like I found the source of the issue.
    If i want to run this app from console, i first have to cd inside of the same dire the .exe is located... so, how to put this into a .desktop file?
    Thanks
    EDIT #2:
    Path=/foo/bar
    inside the .desktop file ...... this did the trick
    Thanks!!!

  • Is it possible to run AIR apps without installing them?

    Hi there,
    Just have a sudden thought. Most Adobe AIR apps I have seen required installation before execution. Is it actually launch the application directly from the .air file without installatoin?
    You know, some users are quite reluntant to "install" software onto their machine, and moreover in some environment "installation" requires special priviliege. For some tiny utilities, (e.g. a simple calculator, you name it), it would be really handy for users to be able to exceute them directly after downloading the .air file, or even directly from web pages.
    Thanks,
    Kenneth

    I see. Thanks for your help.
    Really wish Adobe would consider adding direct execution feature to AIR.

  • Running server app without timing out?

    Hello all,
    I have a server application running on a linux server and am timing out after about 15 minutes. I do not know how to make this server program run indefinately. It is an application that listens for clients and responds appropriately. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jared

    Here is my code if it helps. If I should post this to a different forum would someone please tell me.
    NOTE: The app is running perfectly it just stops running after a time frame.
    CODE:
    public class MyServerApp{
    //...variable delaration etc.
    try{
    server = new ServerSocket(5252);//listen to the socket
    //tried without this, with it set to 0, and with this number
    //server.setSoTimeout(360000000);
    }catch(IOException e){
    System.exit(-1);
    while(true){
    MyConnectionThread w;//thread that handles communication
    try{
    w = new MyConnectionThread(server.accept());//receive new client
    Thread t = new Thread(w);//create new thread with our handler
    t.start();//start new thread
    } catch (IOException e) {
    System.exit(-1);
    //...clean up
    class MyConnectionThread implements Runnable{//communication handler
    public void run(){//when run
    //...variable declaration etc.
    try{
    //get streams from client socket
    in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(client.getInputStream()));
    out = new ObjectOutputStream(client.getOutputStream());
    } catch (IOException e) {...}
    while(true){
    try{
    line = in.readLine();//get data from client
    out.writeBoolean(true);//test to see if running
    out.flush();//flush information
    break;//break out of loop
    }catch(IOException e){break;}
    try{//clean up
    in.close();
    out.close();
    }catch(Exception e){...}
    //...other functions
    Hope you can help me from here. I am running it on a linux server.

  • [SOLVED] Some GTK apps look funny in XFCE

    Hi again!
    Some of my apps like bluefish, cairo-dock settings, and others do not look uniform to the rest of the environment. The dropdown menus, checkboxes and the like get's ugly gray shadings around them.
    Is there a way to make it look uniform?
    Last edited by jerik (2013-01-27 16:25:34)

    I found out that installing this theme: clearlooks-phenix-gtk-theme-git and choosing it in XFCE's own system settings made did it

  • [Resolved] Run Mono apps without prefixing mono

    Hi,
    I haven't developed c# since I switched from Debian. Just the other day I decided to. One thing I noticed in the switch was under Debian I could simply run my program with ./program however with Arch I must prefix mono as in "mono ./program" if I do not I get the error "bash: ./program: cannot execute binary file".
    How would one change this behaviour?
    Thanks,

    Unfortunately I don't have them still.
    I'm thinking a trick like the following was used:
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Win … 2_binaries
    Mind you I'm not using Wine, just Mono.
    I am going to give this a look to see if I can modify the instructions for Mono.
    Edit: Yes, this was it.

  • Running windows apps without installing XP

    So we all know that virtual pc does not work on the intel macs.
    I'd rather not install windows xp as a secondary install as i don't have an SP2 disc.
    Are there any other solutions? All i want to do is run one or two simple apps that won't run on mac os.
    MacBook 2.0Ghz 2GB ram   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    You have quite a few options, actually:
    Parallels (http://www.parallels.com/)
    or...
    CrossOver (http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/)
    Parallels more or less provides the same functionality as Virtual PC, while CrossOver will actually allow you to run select Windows applications natively in OS X. Hope that helps.

  • GTK apps in Qt Environment -- Does it really make a difference?

    Whenever I read around about running GTK apps in KDE, I get a lot of horror stories about how needing to load GTK libraries in the Qt environment will degrade my system performance and bog down my desktop experience. After spending a lot of time in two pretty popular GTK apps (Firefox & Gimp), and monitoring my desktop performance, I've certainly not found anything noticable (other than that they look ugly as sin). Furthermore, I keep a system monitoring widget on my desktop, and it doesn't seem to make a lick of difference on my system resources. Are all the warnings about running GTK in Qt simply horror stories? Has anyone actually noticed a difference from running GTK apps in Qt (or the other way around for that matter)?

  • Is it possible to run windows apps?

    ... Without running windows on my iBook G4? I would like to run 2 apps: Digidesigns D-Show and another very small app. I have searched and searched, and the only solution I can find is to emulate windows, but I don't have access to a version of windows. So is there any way to run windows apps without running windows OS?

    Rune:
    I needed to run a software package for business but did not want to buy a PC. So I installed Virtual PC (not the demo linked here) and run it on my Pismo. It is not super fast, but it does the job. It comes with Windowns XP Professional. A bit costly, though, unless you can pick up a copy like on eBay.
    Good luck.

  • [solved] gtk3 themes for gtk3 apps, without installing gnome3

    After executing "pacman -Syu", transmission was upgraded to a newer version, but it no longer has the "Clearlooks" gtk2 interface wich I installed witch pacman and selected it with "lxappearance" because I don't have gnome2 or 3 installed. Now, transmission has an ugly gtk3 interface that looks like windows 95. But how can I install ans select a gtk3 theme, without installing gnome3 ? (because I only want to keep openbox and xmonad installed, and no other WM or DE)
    It says on wiki.archlinux that "gnome-tweak-tool" won't work if gnome3 is not installed...
    It also tried to install the "librsvg" package, and the Newlooks theme, and I've edited "~/gtk-3.0/settings.ini" to add:
    gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = false
    gtk-theme-name = Zukitwo
    gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome
    ... and after reboot, Transmission doesn't have the "Newlooks" gtk theme... it still has the old looking theme
    Last edited by Chrys349 (2011-11-26 16:36:53)

    I am facing the same problem. I've created ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini file:
    [Settings]
    gtk-theme-name = elementary
    gtk-fallback-icon-theme = elementary
    gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS
    Someone also wrote that copying gtk-3.0 folder should enable gtk3 theme, but this also failed.
    cp -r /usr/share/themes/elementary/gtk-3.0/ ~/.config/gtk-3.0/

  • I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !

    I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !
    I also tried resetting settings all to no avail ...I looked up some advice and watched utube video advice on how to fix without success..
    The volume control button on side does not work ,I got the iPad last August and wonder if it is a fault that means I must return it for replacement from where it was purchased ?

    The Retrospect you used way back when is no longer around. The company was sold and that company produced a new version of Retrospect - Retrospect 8.x
    So, as you've been told, you would have to be running a Tiger system with an old version of Retrospect software (5.x or 6.x - you would need to know) assuming you can find the software.
    As best I can remember you cannot extract files from a Retrospect backup except using the software since Retrospect did not normally make a file by file backup rather it created an archive of the files in the backup. I'm assuming that the EMC/Retrospect people have told you that old Retrospect backups are not accessible by Retrospect 8.x?

  • [KDE] Icon theme in some GTK+ apps is stuck to Oxygen

    I've been trying to figure out what my problem is for a few days now... For some reason, when I try to change the icon theme to anything besides Oxygen for GTK apps when I'm using the oxygen-gtk theme, it doesn't change. But if I switch to a theme such as Raleigh, it uses my icon theme.
    The icon theme I am trying to set is KFaenza. I also tried Faenza-Cupertino, using Faenza as a fallback, but that didn't work either.
    I saw this topic, which is almost my exact issue. This didn't help either.
    I tried multiple tweaks to my .gtkrc-2.0, such as commenting out the theme name, the first "include" (that sets my theme to oxygen-gtk), and commenting out the fallback icon theme line. None of these work.
    I also tried putting the icon themes in /usr/share/icons, which didn't help.
    I am using the System Settings module to set my GTK+ theme. I have an up-to-date system (just reinstalled a couple of days ago).
    Currently I am using an unmodified gtkrc created by System Settings.
    Hopefully all this info helps, and thanks in advance for any answers!
    UPDATE: I just installed gconf-editor to see if I could fix anything in there. It just turns out that gconf-editor is obeying my settings and this is a problem with Chromium and not GTK.
    UPDATE #2: I also installed Firefox and it is also not obeying my settings.
    Last edited by cardinal-biggles (2013-07-02 21:19:46)

    Copy the icon theme folder to /usr/share/icons
    (ex. if your icon theme folder's name is Oxygen-Refit, it should be at /usr/share/icons/Oxygen-Refit)
    Then edit ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde and add the line baghera suggested. It works here.
    Note that you need to do this to .gtkrc-2.0 (yes, thats without -kde) too if you don't use gtk-qt-engine to change gtk themes.
    Also note that every time you change the gtk theme (either via systemsettings or via 3rd party utility) this line is autoremoved from the corresponding file(s).
    Finally, make sure you close the gtk app you want the change to be shown and reopen it. All newly opened gtk apps should show the change.

  • How to make movie in iDVD without themes.  iDVD app quitting during burning

    I am trying to make movie without themes and still having problems. I have tried using the map view in themes, dragging movie into the first box on left, looping it - but am seeing a yellow error sign in the theme box. Don't know why this is. Have tried to burn movie anyway but iDVD app quits halfway thru. Today I tried just simply going to iDVD >file>onestep DVD from movie>select movie and inserting disc. This seems to be the simple solution I have been looking for to burn a movie without themes but iDVD still quit on me halfway thru burning just now. Is this a space problem? Disc problem? help...

    OK F Shippey - Using this computer for anything other than email is pretty new to me. I have just recently began using imovie and idvd. I have burned one idvd and working on a second. While making the movie I was constantly having to delete old footage to make room for space. In other words I don't know much about space and usage. I know that in my new imovie project it says that i have 7.53 Gb available. I know i have a Lacie external with one DVD on it. So what do i need to know about space on a hard drive while using imovie? How do you monitor how much hard drive space you have while working on projects like this? Do I find this info in About This Mac? Sorry for so many dumb questions. Clearly I don't know what I am doing. Thanks for your reply.
