[Solved] lxappearance can't set GTK2 themes in v0.5.1

Hi all,
I have an LXDE system running with lxappearance-0.5.0 installed and can use lxappearance to set the theme e.g. Clearlooks, Crux and such. If I then upgrade the package to lxappearance-0.5.1, the colours are changed but there are no widgets (just the basic non-themed ones). No errors appear in the terminal window at any point.
If I roll back the change, everything's working again. I managed to recreate the issue on another system, so I'm assuming this version is broken. Can anyone confirm if this is a bug?
Thanks.
[Edit] Just noticed that in v0.5.0, all themes work except Adwaita which I'm sure is a GTK3 theme. In v0.5.1, Adwaita is the ONLY theme that works. Maybe lxappearance is built to handle GTK2 or GTK3 themes, but not both? Sorry if I'm confusing the issue any further.
[Edit] Fixed in lxappearance 0.5.1-2.

I noticed this myself. It seems like the latest lxappearance (0.5.1) has been ported to GTK3, and trying to set the GTK2 theme with it does not work so well. I tried installing it with abs and deleting the --enable-gtk3 config option from the PKGBUILD file, but that only seemed to change the appearance of the application back to GTK2--it did nothing to correct how it handled the themes. I ending up giving up and manually configuring my ~/.gtkrc-2.0. For example, here is mine:
gtk-icon-theme-name = "nuoveXT2"
gtk-theme-name = "Clearlooks"
gtk-font-name = "FreeSans 10"
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GTK+ for more information. Another option would be to install a different application such as gtk2_prefs or gtk-theme-switch2, but I didn't find any of these to be as robust as lxappearance. You might also want to look at lxappearance2-git in AUR. Don't bother with the lxappearance-gtk2 package, as it is merely lxappearance 0.5.1 with a GTK2 interface.

  • [SOLVED]How can I set GRUB timeout to 0 s ?

    First of all I'm neither dual-booting nor using multiple kernels. What I want to do is to save 5 seconds on every boot by skipping the GRUB menu automatically and booting to Arch which is my only OS.
    I've tried playing around with options in /etc/default/grub (mainly GRUB_TIMEOUT and GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT) and updating the grub.cfg according to the Wiki, but with no result so far. It still displays the menu for 5 seconds unless I press return.
    Below goes my current config, believe me, I have tried with different values, commenting/uncommenting those lines according to different tips found via Google. Am I doing something wrong?

  • [SOLVED] How can I set up my nVidia Optimus?

    Hi
    I bought a laptop quite recently, and the first time that I installed Arch, I had some problems, but I get it working after all. But now I'm reinstalling the system and I just can't make the X server work T_T
    First, I installed xorg-server, xorg-xinit and xorg-server-utils, and then the intel drivers (xf86-video-intel) and the nouveau's (xf86-video-nouveau and nouveau-dri).
    When I try to do for example: xinit gnome-session I get No devices detected and no screens found
    In my 20-nouveau.conf I got:
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "nvidia card"
    Driver "nouveau"
    EndSection
    and also I had added i915 and nouveau to mkinitcpio.conf
    What am I missing -.- ???
    Thanks

    To add to what sonoran posted above, you need to have xrdb load the settings in your ~/.Xresources.  When you use a DE, there are quite a few things that it might do for you depending on the existence (or absence) of a give configuration file. 
    I have no idea what things are specific to each DE, but I know that the Slim login manager is extremely simple and lightweight and does very little (if anything) automagically for you.  A good example of automagic coming from some of the display manager part of things is the locale settings.  In particular, they implement their own ways of handling setting your keyboard layout and language.  So going if you were to go from GDM to Slim, you would suddenly have the stuff in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d honored, whereas in GDM, you would either have to use gconf or use setxkbmap at some point.

  • Setting new GTK2 theme in openbox? [SOLVED]

    I downloaded the theme pack from this thread:
    http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=74915
    post #23
    I was able to get part of the theme working (menu color and window decoration) but the actual GTK2 theme is being difficult. I have installed lxappearance, gtk-chtheme, and switch 2 trying all of them but none seem to want to do anything with the .theme file. Is there a way to do this manually or am I going about it the wrong way?

    I use lxappearance. Copy the whole Simplicity folder to ~/.themes/, start lxappearance, and select it. It's that simple! (and there's step by step instructions in the readme file included with each of my desktops)

  • I do not see where to enter IP addresses in the Open VPN setup. Also, how can I set it up so that I can choose different servers in the same way as I can currently choose them with my VPN app but for PPTP?

    I think I have it working on my iPhone 5. But, I do not see how I can control the exit point that I would like for the VPN. Are all the exit points shown in the VPN setting now going to work with Open VPN, or do they remain PPTP? If I am reading correctly, they look like they remain PPTP. If I cannot control the exit point for open VPN, which exit point is the default in the profile you provided me?I note that Open VPN Connect does not work with any of the new 64 bit devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the new iPad MIni. Is there any chance that you guys will come up with an update for your app so that open VPN can be made to work on all iOS devices? That would be nice, particularly if the Open VPN Connect app does not give me a choice of exit points.Thanks,

    Just a quick note to tell you that Open VPN has updated their app so that it is compatible with 64 bit ARM devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the iPad Mini Retina.That does not resolve the problem of how to easily choose among the various possibilities for the exit server. We need to find an easy way to choose.

    I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders for each email account anywhere on my iPad or in Mac Mail.   How can I set them up? I can't find anyway to set them up anywhere.  Thanks

    Hello blu monkey,
    I found some resources that I think might help with the visibility of your IMAP email folders on your iPad and Mac.
    On your iPad, you may need to follow the steps in this article to make sure your folders are visible:
    iOS: If IMAP Mail folders are not visible
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1393
    On your Mac, I am not sure if you have the sidebar enabled, but you can enable it using the steps in the article below.  When this is showing, you should see your email account listed near the bottom with a triangle next to it.  When the triangle is pointing down, it should show your folders:
    Mail (Mountain Lion): Show or hide the sidebar

    2 New Ipads (Retina and Mini)(New to Apple) How do I share purchased apps, but others have each act independently? Mini is for the Wife the Ipad4? is for me. I want to use mine at work, etc. She's home with the kids. Can we set them up seperate, but share
    --break--
    So we are entirely new to Apple products. I'm an IT guy, but have always been a windows user.
    So the Ipad with Retina Display is to be mine (and will use it at work for notes, organization, etc)
    The MINI is for the wife.
    But, are we allowed and can we.. buy an app and share that app between both devices? IE. Can I buy a copy of Angry Birds for the House and both Ipad's use that single purchase? and if so, can we still run the Ipads seperate other than to share the apps purchased. IE my facebook and email set up on mine and hers on her ipad mini?
    When I finally find a note taking app I like, can I share it on her ipad, without her having all my work files, etc?
    Thanks for helping out the apple noob. Hoping for a great experience, and anticipate droping $100 in apps the first day.. just don't want to do that twice. If this is against the usage policy, thats unfortunate but good to know. (I mean we can share stuff on PC as long as its in the same household)
    thanks again (explanations or links are fine)

    There are a number of Apple services: iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game center, Find My iPad, etc.
    Now, to share apps, music and books you need to have the same Apple ID:
    iPad's Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Your purchasing Apple ID.
    For the other service, your wife should have her own Apple ID.
    All she needs is a valid e-mail address, apply Apple ID below:

  • The bottom part of my iPod Touch screen isn't responding but I can slide to unlock the screen and slide the icons at the bottom but I just can't click on them, anyway to solve this?

    The bottom part of my iPod Touch screen isn't responding but I can slide to unlock the screen and slide the icons at the bottom but I just can't click on them, anyway to solve this?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How can I set up my contacts so that I do not see all of them on ipad from iCloud?

    How can I set up my contacts so that I do not see all of them on ipad from iCloud? I don't need/want to view contact info for casual contacts on the ipad. (I.e. contacts entered so that I can identify a caller for ID/screening purposes)
    Also would like to limit email contacts from yahoo- no need to view emails for every "safe list" address.
    Thanks!

  • Why when i set up folders for my photos do they also appear in the photo library can I only have them appear in the folders???

    Why when i set up folders for my photos do they also appear in the photo library can I only have them appear in the folders and not duplicated in the photo library???

    Not sure about the missing photos from the Photo Stream section of 'Recent', however to stop photos populating the events, turn off Automatic Import (iPhoto Preferences > Photo Stream)

  • I deleted some of songs by iPhone.but now it until shows all that songs.they seems partially visible not like other song totally black.actual songs are 701 shown in setting.in the music it shows 901. How can I permanently delete them???

    I deleted some of songs by iPhone.but now it until shows all that songs.they seems partially visible not like other song totally black.actual songs are 701 shown in setting.in the music it shows 901. How can I permanently delete them???

    I called Apple and spoke with a customer service representative regarding this issue. I was given the two things to try, and if they don't work, I was told I can call back in:
    1. Go to iCloud.com and look at the advanced options. Since Photos can be deleted here, the representative thought there may be an option to remove songs here as well.
    2. Go into the library that has the songs that were deleted and click Update iTunes match.
    I tried #1--this didn't resolve the issue, as there is no option to remove songs this way. I can't try #2 right now since I'm at work, but if anybody else with this issue can try that step it can help us get the ball rolling on it. After I try that, I'll call Apple back to discuss this further.

  • How can I change the margin settings in the pages inspector to make them more specific for label templates. I need margins that can be set to hundreths of a centimetre not just tenths.

    How can I change the margin settings in the pages inspector to make them more specific for label templates. I need margins that can be set to hundreths of a centimetre not just tenths.

    I doubt you need hundreths as you would not even be able to measure that and the printer doesn't hold the paper to those tolerances.
    fruhulda is right. Pages accepts higher measure but rounds it in the measure field.
    If you want absolute accuarcy you need to set your measures to points. Everything else is being recalculated.

    Hi There, My understanding is that you can run ISE with one node set as primary and zero or more nodes set as secondary, with the secondaries located closer to the end points. 1. Does this mean the local users closest to a secondary node will authent
