Awesome cursor theme not applied at root-window and bar.

I've just started using awesomeWM and it's quite neat. My problem is that my cursor theme doesn't get applied completely. It's all fine in apps, but appears without theme when mouse is over the bar and root window.
My setup info here:
1. I set my xcursor theme with this:
ln -s /usr/share/icons/Flatbed-Green-Regular/ ~/.icons/default
2. I have this in my ~/.xinitrc
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr &
and the cursor actually is set to be left pointer instead of an "X".
3. Version
awesome --version
awesome v3.4-rc2-5-g9a9c3d1 (Piku)
• Build: Oct 8 2009 17:56:27 for i686 by gcc version 4.4.1
• D-Bus support: ✔
Also /usr/share/doc/awesome/luadoc/modules/root.html#cursor must be just for this purpose, but I don't know the working syntax... I tried adding this to rc.lua (but with no avail):
cursor = "Flatbed-Green-Regular"
root.cursor(cursor)
Edit: Well, anrxc told me "xcb does not support Xcursor yet", meaning this issue can't really be solve by now.

Got it now. xsetroot needs the display if you've got a multihead setup or I guess it just doesn't bother. (Alternately I might just have a weird multihead setup. Nvidia with one rotated screen in TwinView which isn't even supposed to work.)
xsetroot -d :0 -cursor_name left_ptr
xsetroot -d :0.1 -cursor_name left_ptr
That fixed it for me.

Macafee security center is may be the culprit.
Open Macafee then: select;
Internet & Network > configure
Firewall > Advanced
Programm Permissions > scroll down to Itunes
Highlight (click on)
Then Grant full access to Itunes.
APPLY then OK
When you select store from Itunes you will need to register with Itunes.
Try that or:
Disable your firewall.

Windows Theme not applied after changing OS language

Hi,
I have a theme(.theme file) which I have created and applied on my system. However after I change the language from "Control Panel > Region and Language" setting, my theme which was applied goes away. I tried retaining the theme
by Enabling below settings in Group Policy but was of no help.
- Prevent Changing Theme
-Prevent Changing Window Color and Appearance
Does anyone know the solution to this? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
For the deny error message, it would be better to use Process Monitor to capture the trace and it would record the deny message when you encounter the error.
Process Monitor:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
If there is any difficult to use Process Monitor,please feel free let me know.
In addition, I'm not suggest you use 3rd theame in Windows 7, it's probably infect system stability with a lot of unknown problem.

Custom theme not applied

I've created a new Flex library project called Foo, which contains a css file default.css.
I want to apply the .swc as a theme to project Bar.
So I went to Properties -> Flex Theme -> Import Theme.. and imported Foo.swc.
A new theme called Foo showed up. I selected it and clicked OK to recompile Bar.
The css file was not applied ;(
What am I missing?

.Xdefaults Xcursor.theme not applying since last update

I'm using Openbox. Since last system update about 10 days ago this is not working. To be more exact it is loaded, but inmediatelly unloaded and reverts to default cursor theme.
At work, I have Archlinux too, but I haven't updated yet, and this is working perfectly. I could post software versions, but I don't know what programs could be important for this situation.
Thanks in advance.

Hm, I use xcursor-neutral from the repos and I activate it only via .Xdefaults with this line
Xcursor*theme: Neutral
I name it "Neutral" because the folder is /usr/share/icons/Neutral, so just look, in which folder your theme is in and change it for yours.
That's all, my system is absolutely up to date incl [testing]

My mouse cursor is not working in the windows, but on tabs and commands it still is

My mouse is not active when I am in the windows in firefox. I can still click and activate options on the toolbar, but cannot activate within a tab or window. I have to use the tab option on my keyboard to move through the window and press enter to submit.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== today ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 NET_mmhpset ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Try hitting the '''F7''' key to turn off Caret browsing.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility.browsewithcaret
Your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up by another program that you installed. NET_mmhpset was added by some piece of Comcast software.
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''general.useragent.extra.firefox'''
Right-click that preference and select '''Reset'''
Then restart Firefox

Sharing a link to Facebook, the "share" button is not available in the window and I can't resize to access it. How do I make it work?

I have Windows 8.1, touchscreen. When responding to an issues email that then gives me the option to share on Facebook, the resulting share window does not format so that the share button is accessible to click or press. Thus, I cannot share anything. I have tried resizing the share window, but it just jumps around and never makes the button accessible.

I understand that the share button on Facebook jumps around. Does this also happen in safe mode?
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

After upgrading to 3.6.12 my browser is not opening pop-up windows and while closing the browser giving a message that some tabs are open and shall the same be closed? I have not encountered this problem with eralier version. Is there any known issues?

Some of my web pages open a new pop-up window for entering credentilas and display sensitive information. After upgrading t0 3.6.12 i found that firefos is not opening pop-up windows (earlier version allowed). When I close the browser, it gives a quit message saying there are unclosed tabs and windows of firefox. shall they be saved for next time start.
Also observed that the memory usage (from Task manager)is very high compared to earlier ones and the process is not closed even if I close the browser.

3.6.13 is also behaving similarly.

[SOLVED]Cursor theme changes to default in Firefox and Thunderbird

When i use facebook, when the page loads something like photos or my profile, the cursor changes to default X11.
I use KDE Oxygen Black theme so the proper cursor theme when the page loads must be the arrow with the two bubbles rotating around, but i get the default skinny black cursor with a clock.
This happens in some java apps like netbeans.
I've done this alredy:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X1 … sor_Themes
I have Oxygen Black theme in KDM too.
I have tried this in Konqueror and Midori and works perfect. (The cursor flicker a little, but works)
Thanks in advance.
PD: sorry if you notice my bad english .

If you need a fix before next major release, just do the following:
1) Check Arch Files out: http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/ … hunderbird
2) Download Patch https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ … 6e3eca4196 ans save it to patch.patch (for example)
3) Add filename and md5sum to PKGBUILD
4) Add after "patch -Np1 -i "$srcdir/libvpx.patch"":
cd "$srcdir/comm-release/mozilla"
patch -Np1 -i "$srcdir/patch.patch"
cd "$srcdir/comm-release"
5) Run makepkg -si
6) delete autoconf2.13,yasm,etc. afterwards (makedpendencies)

[solved] KDE Desktop themes - not applying fully

Changing the Desktop Theme in KDE has always just applied to Plasma panels for me. But looking around elsewhere it looks like it should be changing icons, window decorations, colours, basically everything. Any idea why it would not be working? There are no errors printed to stdout while it's changing.

Hmm, no they don't. Whole theming system such as it is gives you a lot of choices too, and lots of room for easy personalization. I'm not much of a fan of standard plasma theme, but I like icons and window decoration. So, if everything was so 'integrated', if I understood your point correctly, replacing just one part that I don't like would also require replacing all the others. And that would be unnecessary mess. Choices are good, that's why we like to have them.

Portal theme not applied to reports

Hi.
I've been creating a Portal theme for users with visual disabilities by customising various aspects of the standard high contrast theme available. The problem I am experiencing is that when I access a backend system report the display of that report in the main screen area does not use the customised theme which I have assigned to myself through the 'Personalize' link. The rest of the Portal display uses my customised theme, but the report uses a standard SAP theme.
I know it must be possible to change the theme which is used to display reports because when I change, for example, from the SAP Tradeshow theme to SAP Chrome I can see that the colour scheme for the report changes. However, I cannot make the report display use any of my custom themes.
Does anybody know how I can force the report display to use my custom theme?

In the transaction iview properties you can set the portal theme. Please verify it is correct.
Do you see the standard portal theme instead? Or is it the reference to the old server?

Why is the left hand window and bar with the buttons for TOC/Search/Glossary not displaying in one client location?

Greetings all:
I have more years of experience with RoboHelp than I want to admit, but I have never run into this before. I have a published RoboHelp 9 project for an overseas client that displays exactly as it should when the published version is viewed by myself or another RoboHelp developer (not located where I am). However; the users at 1 of 2 two client sites do not see the left hand TOC window or the bar above the project with the buttons (the other site does see it). The users at both sites are using Internet Explorer 9, and I have been told there is no difference in their security set-up. I suspect that at the site where it is not displaying there is a security setting that is throwing it off, but I am not sure what to have them look for. Anyone have any ideas?
W. Keith

Do they not simply see the bar or is it empty? In the first situation, it seems they are opening the topic directly instead of via the start file.
What is the URL the users are using on both the locations? And do the users have a hyperlink 'Show' at the top of the topics?
Kind regards,
Willam

Whenever I do a "lookup" from other software, or click on a hyperlink from outside the browser, the browser appears but the URL is not in the address window and the link never loads.why?

I may be reading an article while within Foxfire, and click on a hyperlink in the article...or I may be using Thunderbird email and click on a hyperlink within the email...or I may be using software like Quicken and do a "lookup" to a webpage...no matter, any time I click on the hyperlink, it will switch to Firefox automatically (good!) and the tab shows "loading", but a webpage never loads, and the URL address window never has anything in it. On the other hand, if I copy and paste the URL from whatever hyperlink I'm trying to use, and then paste that into Firefox's URL address window, it will open. How did I lose the auto load feature?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

HT201209 The buy button in itunes does not open a new window and allow me to buy a purchase

Hello
We are having problems with iTunes. We have redeemed a voucher which does appear £25 but we can not Buy a purchase. The new window does not open like it used to.
We can not download the free singles either.
This has been happening for 2 weeks.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Middle-click or click the scroll-wheel on a hyperlink has always opened a '''new Tab'''. Any chance you had an add-on that changed that action, and now that add-on is disabled or incompatible?

Bitmap image not showing up on windows title bar in windows server 2012 std

I have an application written in VC++ (MFC). Its a legacy app. Recently we were asked to check its compatibility with windows server 2012 std edition. We found some issues and one of those is as follows:
1) We display a BITMAP image using Windows.StretchBlt() function on the titlebar of the app. It shows up properly in windows server 2003, win XP and win 7. But doesn't show up in windows server 2012. I am assuming its a windows paint issue because button
is there on titlebar as I can click on it and see the expected behavior. But its just not visible.
Here is some technical workflow:
-> This function get called to paint the framwnd-
        CMainFrame::OnNcPaint()
             CMDIFrameWnd::OnNcPaint();
             // here we have code to paint the bitmap
Could anyone here please tell me why the same code is behaving differently in win server 2012? Also if there is any solution for this.

This forum is more of a general purpose forum about Windows Server. You question is more closely related to programming issues. You would be better served to post in a .NET development forum.
