Gnome splash screen and gtk-apps in awesome huge fonts.

Hi all,
I installed awesome wm the other day and for some reason all GTK-apps have huge fonts. GDM and the gnome splash screen have the same issue. I'm thinking this is a DPI issue but I wouldn't know where to start looking. Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

In the meantime I swapped over to KDEMOD again, but I am still not satisfied. I prefer a mix of QT and GTK+ applications, and whatever I tried, they just do not look the same if running them in KDE or XFCE4.
Maybe I should try running a WM instead of a DE, after some reading I am very tempted to go for Openbox.
Can somebody running just a WM comment on the results, when mixing QT & GTK+ apps?
I use Openbox and don't have any ugly looking apps. Granted, I think the only QT app I use is opera though

Creating a splash screen for your app.

Im trying to create a splash screen for my app but im not too sure how it's done.
Im using the following piece of code.
public static void main(String[] args)
          JPanel display = new JPanel();
          display.setPreferredSize(new Dimension( (300), (200) ));
          display.setBackground(Color.white);
               // I WILL PUT AN IMAGE ICON ON A JLABEL HERE
          display.setVisible(true);
               // I WILL NEED A DELAY HERE
          test.instance();
}The problem I am having is that the JPanel is not being displayed. I will also need a way to create a delay, I know that I can't just use Thread.sleep(5000); because the JPanel will require the thread to be running in order to display the panel.
Does anyone know how I could get my JPanel to display and somehow insert a delay before test.instance();?
Thanks.

I made my own a few days before for a database program. It can be easily done with Threads.
I recommend you create a new class to be used as the spalsh screen , it has to extends JFrame and implements Runnable.
I ll give you an example. I used the spash screen to display the screen and also to laod the main GUI form so that when the spash screen dispose, the main GUI form displays instantly, making the user think that the application loads faster.
public void run ()
        try
             this.setVisible(true);
             Thread.sleep(2000);
             // sets the menu visible before disposing
             guiMenu.setVisible(true);
             // disposes the object and returns the resources to the OS
             this.dispose();
        catch(InterruptedException exception)
            exception.printStackTrace();
// this method must be implement in the class
// that implements Runnable interface
//MAIN
public class Main
    public static void main(String[] args)
        Menu menu = new Menu();
        SplashScreen introScreen = new SplashScreen(menu);
        ExecutorService splashExecutor= Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1);
        splashExecutor.execute(introScreen);
}ExecutorService is a subinterface of Executor that declares methods for managing the threads. It also has the method execute (that provides the Executor interface) which when invoked calls the method public void run() of the argument class that must implement Runnable.
Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1); creates a poll consisting of a 1 thread which is been used by splashExecutor to execute the Runnable.
Hope i've been of some assistance!

Splash Screen and not beyond... Closes abruptly? PE8 WinXP SP2

Splash Screen and not beyond... Closes abruptly? PE8 WinXP Professional SP2:
I got a lot of good info from the forum today, I do not have the internet at my house, which has added to this $100+ headache so I'm gonna try some stuff tonight and check back here tommorrow.
1. I would have tried uninstalling and re-installing but it came up with some serial number message, because I can't register online from my home I don't want to get locked out of the program or something, hey, it could happen knowing all this security crap.
2. I get the splash screen like others have, but I don't get the actual program: Premiere Elements 8, it runs through all the plugins on the application startup screen and then closes w/o any explanation.
3. After trying to get things working, "ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe" is taking up 100+ mb ram in the background. What is this thing?
so far annoyed, but hopeful, still love my other Adobe Apps.
Feel free to address anything, I apreaciate it!! Even links to other articles, hopefully I'll figure it out tonight, I will post success / failure.
Thanks,
Robb

I want to add as much info as I can:
*Splash screen shows up, but only the video/image viewer/manager hub or whatever is able to open.
*I can open up the Premiere Elements program to the intro loading screen, once it loads the plugins it closes.
*I've tried every possible combination within the video manager hub thing to access the Video editing (Elements) software, it may show the loading screen then it closes with nothing, (the video manager remains open still).
Installed: Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0 from DVD 1, I did not install templates from Disc 2 or whatever.
*"Single Processor Detected" (I think that's what it said)
*I set up Service Pack 2, because it wouldn't let me install until I did this.
*I have Windows XP Professional
*I have plenty of HardDrive space. Don't think RAM is a problem.
What I'm going to do tonight:
*Install latest Quicktime 7.something, (downloaded on 11-01-09) from Quicktime.com
*Uninstall the unnessesary driver file mentioned in another post. (or disable it by renaming it)
*Hold shift key while opening program to clear cache, I read that somewhere.
*Possibly re-install software, hopefully I could get back in with my Serial.
-I printed out Trouble shooting section from Adobe.com.
Please leave suggestions, I'm sure I'm not the only one who will benefit.

Gnome splash screen won't close with Beryl

Gnome splash screen doesn't autoclose, mouse click required. This is annoying but not a big problem.
But when beryl-manager autostarts with Gnome then splash cannot be closed with mouse click at all. I have to switch to Metacity, click on splash and then switch to Beryl. This is really annoying.
Do every Gnome+Beryl users have the same issue?

Captain Spaulding wrote:I don't use beryl or XGL for that matter, but you can get rid of the Splash by klicking on it and then run gnome-session-save from a CLI or by using ALT+F2.
But my Gnome session is saved automatically. Is this different? :?

Dreamweaver CS5 will not open. It shows the splash screen and terminates with non admin login

Dreamweaver CS5 will not open. It shows the splash screen and terminates with non admin login but works fine with admin login.
OS - WinXP Sp3
Things I tried.
1) Gave full rights on dreamweaver folder in program files.
2) Disabled welcome screen
3) Updated to Dreamweaver CS5 11.0.4
4) Reinstalled
5) Formated PC
But issue persists, please help.

Have you tried deleting or renaming the Dreamweaver configuration file?
See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
This can solve many problems and create one in that any snippets that are installed are lost, but you can get them back. Instead of deleting the config file, just name it config.old. When your system is working, just copy the snippets from the .old file to the new one.

So, we're the "stupid ios users" yet you are the one posting a link to something that simply says what we all said here?
"Starting May 1, new apps and app updates submitted to the App Store must be built for iOS devices with Retina display and iPhone apps must also support the 4-inch display on iPhone 5. Learn about preparing your apps by reviewing the iOS"
What part of that statement in your link do you not get? App developers will or will not make those changes, not Apple. It is entirely possible some apps will never get updated for retina, as their developers will drop those products and move on to new ones. Yes, Apple may set certain minimum standards and requirements for inclusion of anyone's app in their storefront (as I already said), but it is entirely up to the developers to actually implement those changes. Complaining on an Apple forum that a particular developer chose not to is pointless and a waste of everyone's time.

Gnome splash screen hangs

This is a minor irriation but I would like to resolve it. When I log into gnome, the splash screen just sits there, if I click on it, it will go away. It does this on four different boxes. I created a new user on one box and it goes away like it should. I tried removing .gconf and .gnome in an attempt to purge config files but it made no difference.
Has anyone seen this or have a fix for it?
I will keep looking in the meantime.

Do you have your "lo" device up with address 127.0.0.1? This happened to me when I forgot to put the network rc script in the DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf.
What happens is that gnome-settings-daemon starts looking for fam via portmap. Portmap should listen on 127.0.0.1, so it looks there. If the lo interface is down, this lookup takes forever.

HP Pavilion DV6 - Stuck at Splash Screen and RECOVERY

So the subject best summarzies whats happening. The "windows starting up" splash screen is stuck and never changes.
The recovery loades files and then all I get is the mouse on the screen.
Here's the diagnosis:
Memory Test: Passed
SMART: Check Passed
Short DST: Failed
Failure ID
RSPQW2-00071C-XD003G-60R403
PRODUCT ID
WQ625UA#ABC
HARD DISK 1
=======================
Start-Up Test : Failed

DST failed means the hard drive has failed or is failing fast. It will need to be replaced.If you are in warranty HP will send a replacement.If not you can use a retail laptop SATA hdd.Just be sure to get one of at least equal or larger capacity as the original 500gb in order to use Recovery Discs.
You will also need Recovery Discs to install Windows and software/drivers on the new hdd. Hopefully you have made a set-if not they can be ordered from HP for a small fee.
If you need more help with selecting a new hdd or replacing it post back.Maintenance & Service Guide here will show how to remove the hdd.

Is there any way to fill long loading gap between splash screen and application home page?

Recently I have developed my first MAF app. This app is with basic design with some page re-directions, no web services/java script is used but when I start app first time then there is a long white gap after splash screen till loading application home page. Is there any way to eliminate this gap?

Splash screens and Modal

Hi
There is a splash screen dislayed as my Application is loading in the background ( it's a company specific thing). The problem is, I want a popup when the either the application is complete or the creation complete. However no matter where I call the popup form, it does not receive the focus and is not tabbable.
I tried setting a timeout : setTimeout(popupLogOnDlg,4000);
THe problem is that different browsers seem to have different load times of the splash screen or how the flex chain of events is handled. In IE9, Firefox 10.02 there is no problem when I set it to 3000, it appears right after the splash screen. However in IE8 and Chrome it is appearing too early.
Can anyone help with figuring out how I can ge tthis working across all the browsers or a better way to have it implemented.

In wpf a splash screen is actually a picture file.
Or at least that's the usual way to do this.
Add a jpg, png or whatever to your Project.
On the Properties:
Build Action.
Select SplashScreen.
Now when you f5 your picture will appear before the MainWindow.
I guess if you already have a MainWindow there then this must definitely be a WPF csproj you have there.
Drop to a command prompt and try:
devenv /installvstemplates
If that doesn't work then try creating a new wpf solution.
Can you create new windows in that?
If you can then the most likely explanation is your csproj in your old solution is corrupted. Either compare the two using notepad and fix your original one manually.
Or... Just copy your one window you had into the new solution.

GNOME-Colors icons and Mozilla apps?

Let me just start by saying how much I love Arch right now...I fled from Ubuntu after it fell apart with terrible glitches and bad performance. Arch is the best distro I've ever used.
The mozilla icons included in gnome are incredibly ugly, especially when using Gnome Do, where the icons are zoomed in. I installed the gnome-brave icon set from GNOME-Colors, as well as the extras icon pack. However, the mozilla icons are still the old, low resolution icons.
How can I properly replace the icons?
UPDATE: hm it seems that it's just gnome do that isn't changing it's icons in relation to gnome colors extras

Apps hang at splash screen and lock computer

I have tried to install indd and ai and both crash and lock the computer when I try and run them. The apps get as far as the spas screen then freeze.
Creative cloud
Macpro 10.7.5

Hey i think i figured it out.
Had the same prob. 10.6 12.2.1 entourage hanging.
Renamed FCT, instantly prompted that a font was corrupt. Removed the corrupt Font: KufiStandardGK.ttf << this just happened to be my one corrupt font.
A little troubleshooting i did leading up to this, I read your post and my situation was the same. I use Linotype X to manage fonts. I disabled all but the minimum fonts (i moved them into a folder font_trouble in the same folder)
I also deleted every office pref/plist setting i thought relevant to startup which triggered the microsoft setup assistant (watched via the console app) and it ran through its check and then immediately the fontcachetool started and went awol on cpu time. Once i killed it--during the starting up of word and entourage... timing may be unrelated but i did them at nearly the same time.
Ps. Your post was extremely well written and I apologize for my stream of consciousness, less than stelllar response... hope this helps if not feel free to ping me for more details on what I did...
Good Luck.. All my office apps are running normally now.

Packages needed for running GNome and GTK Apps

On my desktop machine, a SPARC Sunblade 1500 I use the Java Desktop and successfully run such things as gedit, gnome_terminal, Eclipse, and Oracle's SQL Developer. I'm trying to determine what packages I need to have installed on my development server box so that I can run those applications there (still using my desktop as the X server).
The server is a Sun Fire V240 running SunOS 5.10 , 11/06 , 118833-36. It has 4G of RAM. Gedit, gnome-terminal, and eclipse come up but they behave poorly. In additions some visual components appear only slowly or never at all: the gnome-terminal scroll bar doesn't show except for a gray rectangle the length of the screen. Menus in eclipse are painfully slow to appear and react.
Any idea what is missing from the installation? Thanks for any help you can give.
Tom True

I apologize in advance for not being able to provide a specific answer to the
problem you presented, but hopefully this might eliminate a few variables
from the equation.
When I need to find missing packages, I always use "pkginfo" on each box
and compare lists. (pkginfo, pkginfo -x, pkginfo -l)
When I can't find the answer there, I go ahead and bring my machines up to
date with the latest Recommended patch cluster (following the directions on
Jumbo patches will prevent a lot of problems i.e. use single-user mode, do
not use -nosave option, and patch twice***see below)
Regarding the display issues, here are some of the things I would
check for (most of these should not matter if they differ, but it helps in
overall troubleshooting)
Are the locales the same ISO8859-1 vs. ISO8859-15
(/etc/default/init)
How is the network traffic between the two?
Do the SB1500 and the V240 have issues resolving each other's I.P.?
(/etc/resolv.conf /etc/inet/hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf)
Are they both patched to the latest and greatest Recommended patch levels
( ***see latest README for 10_Recommended.zip for new warnings)
differing versions of SSH? OpenSSH vs. ssh.com vs. Sun_ssh 1.1
If they used the same internal disk drive, I would dd the good one, and take
the copy to a V240 and see what happened on a boot -rv. Unfortunately, they
do not in this case.
