[Solved] ugly theme in some apps

Hi
I have install arch along with kde. In some apps like firefox, trnasmission etc. the application interface is ugly so I installed oxygen-gtk2 and oxygen-gtk3 but none of them are appearing in system-setting. I haven't use gnome much but I think this ugly appearence of some apps is due to missing gtk style. Am I right? How can I fix it?
Regards

Firefox is a GTK2 application and Transmission is a GTK3 application. Themes for both toolkits can easily changed by editing the configuration files for GTK2 and GTK3. (See here)
Also, see here for more information on configuring Oxygen in KDE.
Lastly, isn't there a checkbox in "System Settings" (a KDE application) that says something like "Manange themes for other toolkits"? Do you have that enabled?

[Solved] Slow resizing for some apps under KDE4.

I use KDE4 (with the default theme) and Radeon graphic card (free driver). My problem is that the resizing of some windows is really slow. The problem does not appear with the KDE QT applications, but mostly for some old apps. Claws-mail is particularly affected. I do not think it is really a driver problem because claws-mail is unaffected in other window manager (as the default one in Ubuntu, with the same driver) as well in more primitive window managers like icewm. Moreover, native KDE4 QT apps behave properly.
It seems that modern Qt apps redraw approximatively while the resizing and do a final, complete redraw when it is finished, so it is smooth. Claws-mail redraw every time and it's not smooth. However, with other window managers, claws-mail does not redraw at all while the resizing and redraw one time at the end which is less visually appealing, but nevertheless smooth (it was probably the old method); for some reason it redraw every time while the resizing in KDE4.
I am only guessing and have not been able to find a proper documentation nor any fix. Anyone can point me in the right direction?

I reply to my own post. The culprit was the oxygen GTK theme under KDE. Under KDE, change it to Raleigh with System Setting -> Application Appearance -> GTK and the problem is solved. I had a problem with bluegriffon (from the AUR) that crashes. It was suggested here that the oxygen GTK theme was the culprit: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic … Xb92OyWNj8 . Indeed, after changing the theme, no more crash, and as no more problem with resizing windows!. Strange bugs though, I would have thought of everything but the GTK theme ?!?

[solved] Graphics broken in some apps after upgrade

I did a fairly big upgrade a few day back, after travelling around away from decent internet. Since the update some of my apps (so far, Firefox, Thunderbird, gnome system monitor but not sunbird) display a completely garbled interface. The window decoration is fine in most, but not all, cases, but everything else is bad:
Firefox still works - the box near the cursor is the search box on the google homepage. If I tab through to it I can search and the window title changes accordingly.
So far I've tried:
1) deleting my xorg.conf
2) rolling back (which fixes the problem)
I tried re-adding packages a few at a time, but that didn't work - the problems didn't come back till the next reboot or possibly the next restart of X. And I broke pacman in the process, so I'm reluctant to try again.
As I suspect this is hardware dependent, I'm running a IBM TP41 which has a ATI Mobility Radeon 7500, and I'm using the open source video drivers, not flgrx.
I'm more or less out of ideas, so your help is appreciated.
Edit: It's getting late in my timezone. I'll check back tomorrow.
Edit2: added solved to title

I already have radeon.modeset=0 on the end of my kernel line, I think I disabled KMS a month or two ago when it was (very briefly) enabled by default. IIRC my system was very broken with KMS enabled back then, I haven't tried turning it back on.
I've found xf86-video-ati-6.12.4-3 to work, and xf86-video-ati-6.12.192-1 not to work, irrespective of ati-dri version. I've just noticed 6.13 seems to be out, so I may try building that with ABS, and see if it fixes it.
EDIT: or maybe I won't, as that needs xorg 1.8 and I don't have enough time to build that and all it's deps just now
For now I've just set pacman to ignore the package, which works as a temporary solution. Are there any diagnostics I can do to help pin down the problem?

[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

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 had deleted some Apps on my iOS Devices (iPad mini and iPhone 5), but they are still in the Cloud. How can I delete them in the Cloud, too ?

Hallo together,
I had deleted some Apps on my iPhone and iPad, but they are still in the Cloud. My First iPhone was a 2, my Second a 4S and now I use a 5. With the 2 I had used a different Apple-ID, but I put some Apps via Backup from one Apple-ID to another. As I get a Message by furtherly Backups, that some Apps are not can be saved because the Apple-ID is no longer on that PC registred, I had deleted this Apps to get they new for the actually Apple-ID. But I'm not shure, when I install them now, that they are working under the correct Apple-ID.
Any Ideas to solve the Probs ?

My Ipod touch wont allow me to sync any apps from my itunes library. It also wont allow me to get into itunes from the ipod itself. So i downloaded some apps from the istore on my computer, but it wont allow me to sync them to the ipod. Please Help!?

My Ipod touch wont allow me to get into itunes. So I downloaded some apps through istore onto the itunes on my computer, yet it still wont allow me to sync them to my ipod. It doesnt even give me the option to do so. The only things syncing to my ipod are music and pictures. Can anyone please help me??

You need to restore the iPod on the new computer. You can only sync apps (and some other stuff) from different computers/libraries but you can manage music and some other stuff among different computers/libraries.
You need to restore you iPod and see the following regarding the pairing error message.

(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

Delete those apps that are not under your Apple ID and re-download them using your Apple ID.

HT203421 I have recently purchased some apps from the app store and after downloading them, the icon that appears in the dock changes to a different icon. It is now the same icon appearing on all newly downloaded apps. Does anyone know what is happening

I have recently purchased some apps from the app store and after downloading them, the icon that appears in the dock changes to a different icon. It is now the same icon appearing on all newly downloaded apps. Does anyone know what is happening here? Even updating an older game app resulted in the original game icon changing to the new identical icon that all new apps are appearing with. This new icon is like a page with a ruler, pencil and paintbrush. Any tips on how to stop this or how to revert to the icon as it appears on the app store would be appreciated.

I'm new to iPad. I've installed some apps. The apps are "open" even when I go to something else or close that page. I just did some updates on other apps and see those apps are still "open". How do I close them? I'm sure it's draining my battery. Help!

If you are referring to the fact that, in the App Store app, after you have installed or updated an App, that the Install button changes to now read "Open" then this does not mean that the App is Open and running. It means, rather, that, if you touch the button now marked "Open", the App will be started and "Open". It's just a quick way to get to the App you have just installed or updated.

For some apps it seems impossible to determine the price before, or even after, installing them. How can I get round this?

Can you be clearer about what you're seeing? The price should be clearly stated up front... Is that not the case? Note that there may be additional taxes that will increase the final price, and that can't be included in that up-front listed price, since taxes are different everywhere.

I do not have some apps in my mac but still app store shows them as update available

I have a Mac Book Pro. I installed some apps and then deleted them from my mac. All the apps are no longer visible in the launchpad. But still the mac app store shows them as an update available. Kindly tell my either how to uninstall those apps completely or how to get rid of the problem.

Hi Rishu1998,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you dont want to see some purchases in iTiunes store. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

We were wondering how you stop some apps from running with out deleting them something like a task manager and in my settings im missing the application button in it how do i get it back and stop some apps its making it run really slow

how do you stop apps with out deleting them i have looked for something like a task manager and nothing and researched about it and it says to go into your settings and then click applications but i dont have one can someone please help[ me thank you

Double click the Home button. The bottom row shows the recently used apps. Touch and hold the app until they all start to wiggle then tap the circled minus sign by apps you want to remove. Press the Home button to return to normal.
However, that is recently used apps not apps doing something. Some apps will do things all the time/periodically like checking for Notification, new mail. Yu can turn those off in the apps themselves.
Just what are you trying to accomplish?

[SOLVED] Having trouble making QT apps use GTK theme

Hello everyone, I'm having trouble making QT apps use my GTK theme in openbox.
Some apps seem to work just fine but others don't.
^Such as above, as you can see VLC is working, as is qtconfig, but k9copy and k3b are not.
I've did the suggestions that are listed in the wiki. (http://tinyurl.com/ybhb7yr)
And even rebooted after I did them, still no go.
My .gtkrc-2.0 file simply contains:
gtk-theme-name="Clearlooks_blackblue"
gtk-icon-theme-name="Tango"
Does anyone have any ideas why it's not working with k9copy and k3b/how to fix it?
Thanks.

Yes, but don't they use QT?
And if not, what do they use? lol. And is there anyway to make them use my GTK theme?
