Some desktop programs uses an old gtk theme

Nautilus on the right and Thunar on the left.
Some of my desktop programs look like they don't have any theme. I have installed gtk-engines, but that didn't help.
The theme is located in /usr/share/themes. I have the same problem with totem and vlc. If I try to run a program as root it always looks ugly.

Having upgraded my IOS I have lost some downloaded programs, how can I recover them

Having upgraded my IOS I have lost some downloaded programs, how can I recover them?

Either redownload them from the iTunes Store or sync the device with an iTunes library which contains them.
(87790)

The new IOS asks me for a apple ID, but for some reason its using my old ID, I don´t know how to change it, the new IOS asks me for a apple ID, but for some reason its using my old ID, I don´t know how to change it

When I installed the new IOS for my I phone, the progam asked me to log in with my apple ID the problem is , the ID that was pre stablished is my old ID and it is not working any more. My question is how do I change the pre setted ID and change it for the new one?

You have to delete the old account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

GTK+ Themes Problem

When I wanted to use an OSX GTK+ theme, I've met this problem.
Some GTK+ themes work well, like this:
But some themes look a little bit odd(or "fuzzy"?):
But this can not be the issues of the theme, because even Adwaita looks so...
Does anybody know the way to solve this problem?

Its becoz GTK 3 has introduced a new rendering interface since 3.6 and adwaita can enable it whereas other themes can't. But unfortunately for me with infinality installed adwaita looks less desirable than other old themes.(Eg. Phenix-clearlooks is neat and clean).

My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before and use the same account

My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before? Can you redownload? If so, how?? Please help as I'm missing over 500 previously paid for and downloaded iTunes song purchases.

This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that?

I am thinking of buying a iPad but my main desktop machine uses Windows 7 and MS Office. How easy or difficult is it to transfer data files between the iPad and Windows? Are there obvious problems or the need for some form of conversion programs?

You don't need conversion programs, iTunes can copy most of your content over to the iPad via the file sharing section, and some apps also support Dropbox, email attachments, transfer via your wifi network. There are a number of apps that you can get that support Microsoft office file (microsoft don't make an app versions of their software) e.g. from Apple there are Pages (word support), Numbers (excel) and Keynote (powerpoint), and from third-parties there are apps such as Documents To Go and QuickOffice HD

I have some unfinished projects in an old iMovie format. How can I finish them using the new iMovie? When I open them it says it doesn't support powerPC format

I have some unfinished project in an old iMovie format. If I try to import them to the new iMovie to finish them it says I can't because it does not support powerPC formats. How can I save them???

Right click on the icon and choose "Show Package Contents".
Drill down through the folders to find your original source clips (probably .dv files). Drag them to a new Desktop folder to import them into iMovie.

Using external libraries in desktop programs

Hi everybody, i'm a bit newbie and i have some questions for you. Can I create a project in C# (VS2013) and use the exe as a desktop program? (I mean, if it's consider a desktop application). My main question is: Can i import external libraries on this
project? I don't know this, because it's hard to know if the users have the library (or is it include in the program?)
Thanks in advance :)

You can write windows forms or wpf applications ( and some other types ) using visual studio.
These are desktop applications which you can distribute.
A library is a dll.
Dynamic link library.
To use one you add a reference to it in your solution.
That dll is then a dependency for your application.
You can later build an msi which someone would use to install that application or you can deliver by clickonce.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173084(v=vs.90).aspx
You do that using an install project which will detect those dependencies and include them in the msi you give to people to install your application.
There are a number of options:
Installshield lite
Wix
Setup and deployment project
https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9abe329c-9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d

What's the correct way to make QT4/KDE4 apps use my GTK theme?

I tried going to Computer -> System Settings -> Appearance and setting the widget style to GTK+ (instead of the default oxygen) but my computer crashes. If I load xterm from kdm and try to run kwin for example, I get the following error message.
"QGtkStyle cannot be used together with the GTK_Qt engine."
and then it segfaults.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uni … d_GTK_apps
This page says to use QGtkStyle, which comes bundled with QT 4.5. I assume that is what I do with the previous procedure, but obviously that is giving me problems. Any ideas?
Fyi, this just started happening tonight when I rebooted my computer. I've had it set to GTK+ for a while and my KDE apps rendered with my GTK theme, but when I rebooted it segfaulted loading the desktop and I haven't been able to get it to work since. Any ideas?

Maybe you should try typing "qtconfig" in the terminal. You can choose GTK+ then. Works for me. I didn't install anything special except the QT applications I use (including QTcreator), so I think "qtconfig" should be available when you have QT installed.
Also look out for a ".kde" directory (?) in your home folder (even when you don't use KDE it might be that you have it). It could be that you've got some contradictory settings in some configuration files that are read when QT apps are started. I'm not sure on this one, though.

Using gtk-theme-switch

I hate to trouble the the forum with this question, particularly so since I directed it to the package's developer about a week ago and have not received the courtesy of an answer.
Am I correct to assume that in using gtk-theme-switch to set fonts that, once set, the same font is then used for all applications employing gtk-2? Looking at the program's little interface, I can't see how one might use it on, say, one program, then another one and so on. Precisely how is this thing used anyway?
jlowell

RdsArts,
Thanks for your reply.
I do not use a desktop environment, rather I use a WM and launch all applications from the WM's menu. If I understand you, when you say "It sets the 'base font' other GTK+2 apps use", you're saying that if I use gtk-theme-switch to set lucida 12, for example, the tool bar and menu fonts in all gtk+2 applications would be set to lucida 12 thereafter. Am I right about that?

KDE4 Quirk Fixes: Desktop Servicemenus & GTK Themes

Since I have spent quite some time with frustration trying to get kde 4.2 to work properly, I finally solved 2 of my most annoying problems. I figured this might help someone else out, so it couldn't hurt to post. Note that both of these are rather hackish solutions, but until better ways come about, they work just fine for me and probably will for you. I'm not sure which of these are caused by actual bugs as opposed to something I don't understand yet, so I will hold off on reporting them until I'm sure.
Servicemenus:
If you've noticed that you -can't- unzip/unrar/untar for some reason ONLY on the desktop (presumably in folderview as well, since the desktop is just a folderview plugin of sorts), I seem to have figured out why and how to work around it. I noticed at random that somehow my Root Actions Servicemenu was working, which no right click menus had been before. I was baffled. In looking around for a solution with the hope of getting my others to work, I removed the ark* servicemenus from /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ (the kdemod4 servicemenus folder. it may be diff for normal kde4) and installed extract-compress-servicemenu-kde4 from AUR. Good news -- on logging out and in, i had a compress menu on right click. Buuuuuuuut...no extract. Which renders it virtually useless for me. After all sorts of looking around, comparing, trial and error, it seems that (confirmed by doing it to 4 different non-working servicemenus) the argument %F is not accepted in 4.2 servicemenus on the desktop/folderview and they just don't show up at all. Replacing %F with %U in the servicemenus and logging out and in.. magic! Being able to extract files without manually opening konqueror or Ark, via right click! With the desktop backend and easy servicemenus working, the desktop is finally useful again. YAY. I confirmed this by doing the same thing to 4 different previously-not-working servicemenus, which had been converted from KDE3 via this:
#sudo cp /opt/kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/* /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ use this line to copy from kdemod3 dir to kdemod4 dir
#copy your other servicemenus to the corresponding dir above
cd /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ #for kdemod4
sudo sed -i "s/\[Desktop Entry\]/\[Desktop Entry\]\nType=Service/" *
sudo sed -i "s/ServiceTypes\=/ServiceTypes\=KonqPopupMenu\/Plugin\,/" *
This helpful botch of a previously good script (tweaked to fit my system, pathetically hardcoded to take from kdemod3 and give to kdemod4) was taken from here:
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.ph … tent=80131
SO:
1) Convert the servicemenu from kde3 if it's not a kde4 one already with the above stuff.
2) Replace %F with %U. Another argument may suffice. Note that this could possibly screw stuff up if you attempt to do multiple files, but as a workaround, at least it makes things work!
3) log out and in
GTK Themes:
It seems that systemsettings->appearance->colors->options->apply colors to non-kde4 apps screws up the colors on the system for gtk apps. Gtk-qt-engine didn't work for me whatsoever (ended in an ugly flat theme) when installed and activated in systemsettings/appearance with qtcurve-kde4, and gtk-kde4 turned the text green and screwed up some things. I couldn't fix the former, but disabling what seems to be the logical setting to use in the settings manager seems to fix the text problems, and somehow they were the colors they should have been.
Alternatively, use identical (qtcurve or oxygen) themes on gnome/gtk and kde4/qt and use lxappearance as said in the wiki to set them to be the same, using the color disabling given above.

Hi, I'm working on this issue also, over at Chakra CCR.
Here is what I figured out so far:
Problem:
1. awn-settings is searching for the icons of its gui.
2. If one of them is missing, it tries to substitute it with the icon named "gtk-missing-image"
3. If it doesn't find this neither, the error happens and awn-settings won't start.
All this happens in /usr/share/avant-window-navigator/awn-settings/awnClass.py lines 1017 - 1047
As soon as I substituted both occurences of "gtk-missing-image" with "folder" (or any random kde icon) there, it works.
When you open awn-settings then, you'll see, that "Task-Manager" and "Advanced" have the folder as their icon.
The according errors in the commandline are:
Could not locate the following icon: gtk-execute
Could not locate the following icon: gtk-properties
Now for a kde-version of awn, all we have to figure out is
1. where those two icons get called (through the "safe_load_icon()" method) and replace their names with their kde equivalents.
2. Maybe replace the fallback icon with something more meaningfull than "folder"

I have some apps on my iPad that were installed using an old apple ID. They can't be updated because the old ID is no longer valid. How can I change the apple ID associated with these apps?

I installed some apps using an apple I'd that is no longer active. I can't update them because it asks for the password of the old I'd instead of the I'd I currently use. How can I change the apple I'd associated with these apps? I still want to use them. One app I paid for using the old I'd. The other app is free. I have already tried deleting them and reinstalling them.

If you simply just changed the email associated with that appleid you can just delete and Re-download the apps.
You can verify the above step by going to the App Store on device > Updates>Purchased - if you see the app there just delete it from the home screen and redownload from the purchased section
Now if you got rid of that account entirely, you will have to delete and re-purchase on your new account

How to change gtk theme dialog box button appearance when using tab?

Hi,
I'm using candido as my gtk theme and have noticed that when a dialog box pops up (Yes / No), it is extremely difficult to tell which option is highlighted. How do I change this appearance? I searched through the gtkrc and even used gimp to manipulate the images used via trial and error to see if I found one that worked. Can someone familiar with gtk themes tell me which gtkrc or image to alter to affect this appearance?
I use tab to select my option a ton and hate not being able to tell what I'm looking at.
For reference,
- here is the current look (can you tell which one is highlighted? It's "Cancel" -- just slightly bigger or a fine line around it) LINK
- here is the gtkrc if that helps? LINK
For one more point of clarification, I'm not talking about the button appearance on mouseover. I have identified that the button-prelight.png file changes that. I specifically am talking purely about a dialog popping up and then using the tab key alone to highlight through the options. I really like this theme, but this one thing drives me crazy. This appearance changes when I select different themes with lxappearance, so I've narrowed it down to being a gtk-theme issue, not my openbox theme or icon set.
Many thanks!

HI,
Debug the program after you press the CANCEL button , you will get where the conrol is flowing , And instead of using
Leave to screen '910' use Leave to screen 0.

I have an old apple id that i havent used for years. For some reason i have updates on my mac i cannot do unless i sign onto that old account. It uses an old e mail account i no longer use or have access to. How can i get to do these updates?

its very specific.
If you are seeing the old Apple ID with regard to this Mac, then it would seem that somehow you have incorporated the ID in the setup of this new Mac.
Iphoto i use never used imovie.
If you began using iPhoto without having Accepted it into your Apple ID, then that would explain why you are unable to update the app. If any of the iLife apps are used without Accepting them into your Apple ID, the ability to accept them will lapse and you will not be able to update them.
