[SOLVED]urxvt can't set the background after using slim as DM

Yesterday, I changed lxdm to slim,and then everything went well,except urxvt.Though I think this should have nothing to do with the urxvt's problem.
urxvt only has a white background while my setting is 0000/0000/0000/cccc,even I attempted to comment all options relating to colors,but it doesn't work.until I remove the .Xresources file, urxvt has a black background.
I also attempted to start from startx and other ways, but it didn't work.I have a transparent black interface before,and now it is dazzling white.how could i can resume it.
My DE is kde4.
Here is my .xinitrc

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.

  • [SOLVED] nitrogen fails to set the background with openbox

    Hi guys !
    I have a strange issue . Yesterady everything was working fine . nitrogen would set my wallpaper at each boot . This morning for some reason nitrogen sets the background for about one second
    and then it goes back to the default openbox background (the gray one) . I don't remember changing anything yesterday , i just added the multilib repository so i don't think this is an issue .
    Here is my .xinitrc
    nitrogen --restore &
    xfce4-panel &
    exec ck-launch-session openbox-session
    What i'm doing wrong ?
    Last edited by shak (2010-08-28 12:59:45)

    I've finally found the solution . Apparently i forgot to edit my autostart.sh file , so when i 've isntalled the xfce4-panel there was conlfict and the background was reset to the defaul .
    After deleting the content of autostart.sh file and putting there the nitrogen and xfce4-panel commands and leaving the exec openbox-session at the .xinitrc file everything is fine

    I do not know of any way to specify only some bookmarks to open in a new tab. You could middle-click on a bookmark to make it open in a new tab.
    There are add-ons that can make all bookmarks open in a new tab, such as:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13784/ Open Bookmarks in New Tab]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/ Tab Mix Plus]

    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/14439/ Tabberwocky]
    All but the first of those will add many other tab browsing features. There will be other tabbed related add-ons that can open all bookmarks in a new tab, you can find them by searching https://addons.mozilla.org/

    You need to partition it; why would you use the windows version of anything?

  • Can I invoke a SubVI in an event? and how do I set the background color of a pipe to #0000ff?

    When I click an image or a glass pipe(which belongs to Industry/Chesmitry category in palette), I want a SubVI to be invoked.
    The purpose is to fetch an OPC-UA data from a web service and to write to it via the service.
    We are building an HMI solution which displays an interactive water plant diagram.
    When users click pipes and motors in the diagram, clicked devices should be turned on and off and change their animations or colors accordingly.
    OPC-UA is for communication with devices.
    I couldn't even set the background color of a pipe to "#0000ff", but setting it to "Red" or "Blue" was possible, and I don't know how to invoke SubVIs in event scripts.
    The documentations in NI.com are confusing and lack depth.
    Even silverlight references are confusing.
    How do I do all of these?

    Hi iCat,
    Can you provide some more information about your current implementation so that we can help to answer your questions. Some questions I have for you are:
    Are you creating this project in the NI LabVIEW Web UI Builder or in LabVIEW?
    How are you publishing your webservice? Is this also in LabVIEW?
    How is your webservice interacting with an OPC-UA server?
    How is the certification set up with OPC-UA so that you can communicate between the server and the client?

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Can I write a new email + set the background 2 anything apart from white?

    This has been driving me mad all day (and last night!) and i am sure I am being really stupid!
    I want to write a new email to a group and I want the background to be a different colour other that white - I can see how i can change the colour of the font but not the background of the actual email.
    Please help as this is seriously doing my head in!!!
    Thanks

    Hi!
    Ok, it took me some time to find it out, but here is how it works:
    * Compose the message and make sure it's composed in Rich Text.
    * Click the Fonts button in the toolbar
    * Pick the 4th icon from the left (Document color)
    Here comes the buggy part:
    * Set the background color (it doesn't reflect in the message)
    * Save the message as Draft and close it
    * Re-open the message
    --> colored background
    Not the most intuitive solution…but it works.

  • Can you set the i pod to play albums one after the other as it seems to stop once its played the one album!! :-(

    can you set the i pod to play albums one after the other as it seems to stop once its played the one album!! :-( thanks

    Unfortunately that is the way the interface is designed. If you select an album from the albums menu, then it plays an album, optionally shuffled and/or repeated. If you select from the artists menu then you should be able to shuffle the albums or songs by that artist or have them played in sequence, again with options to repeat. You can also cue up a number of songs or albums with the On-the-Go playlist feature.

  • How to set the Background Color of a Text Field in a Tabular Report.

    Hello,
    I tried to set the Background Color of a Text Field in a Tabular Report.
    But I was not able to change this colur.
    In the report attributes --> column attributes
    I tried already:
    1. Column Formating -- >CSS Style (bgcolor: red)
    2. Tabular Form Element --> Element Attributes (bgcolor: red)
    but nothing worked.
    Can anybody help me?
    I Use Oracle Apex 2.2.1 on 10gR2
    thank you in advance.
    Oliver

    in "Report Attributes" select the column to move to the "Column Attributes" page. In the "Element Attributes" field under the "Tabular Form Element" region enter
    style="background-color:red;"
    I will also check if there is a way to do this via the template and post here again
    edit:
    in your template definition, above the template, enter the following:
    < STYLE TYPE="text/css" >
    .class INPUT {background-color:red;}
    < /STYLE >
    (remove the spaces after the < and before the >)
    change "class" to the class that the template is calling
    (I'm using theme 9, the table has: class="t9GCCReportsStyle1" so I would enter t9GCCReportsStyle1)
    A side-effect of using this second version is that ALL input types will have a red background color--checkboxes, input boxes, etc.

  • Can i set  the same email account as POP on MacBook and IMAP on iPhone and iPad?

    I got an email account which is currently POP, it was setup on my MacBook, iPhone and iPad. Since POP cannot sync the read email, every time i have to read them on three devices - MacBook, iPhone and iPad, or it shows loads of unread mails.
    I heard IMAP can solve this problem, but after set the email account up as IMAP, loads of my emails lost! Luckily most of those emails are restored from Time Machine. IMAP is too dangerous, so i changed back to POP.
    Now i'm still surffering from read emails three times, i wonder anyway to fix this problem? can i set the email account as POP on MacBook and IMAP on iPhone and iPad?
    Many thanks,
    X

    Normally, at least all smartphones I've used, do not delete things from the server. The Email programs on phones know enough not to delete emails you delete on the phone from the email server so you can still get them on your computer. I personally don't need or want all my emails on my phone. It is good to check emails and reply it ones that need a reply right then but otherwise I want them on my computers. Using IMAP on phone/pad may not act the same as POP and may interact with the server differently, deleting email I don't want on my phone from the server.
    I do have one IMAP email address on my phone, Google with Google Mail. All others access the servers with POP.

  • How can i set the alternating colors for a table rows

    Dear All,
    Please any one help me how can i set the Alternating colors for Table Rows.
    i created a theam there i set the background alternating color to brown and i set the table design properity to alternating. but it is not reflecting.

    Hi,
    The design property in Table properties should work for your requirement. Select "alternating" value for design.
    Please see the API below:
    design
    Determines the appearance of the table. The property design can take the following values and is represented by enumeration type WDTableDesign.
    alternating - The table rows are displayed alternately in a different color.
    standard - The table background has one color. The individual table rows are displayed with grid net lines.
    transparent - The table background is transparent. The individual table rows are displayed without grid net lines.
    Check whether you have changed the right property or not? Also table should contain more than one rows to test this scenario.
    Regards,
    Jaya.
