[Tut] Smooth KDE4 + FF3 (and other GTK apps) integration (Oxygen!)

This is a very simple tutorial, but this problem stumped me for a little (finding gtk-kde4-oxygen-theme), so I thought it might help others. Most normal KDE4 +GTK guides tell you to use gtk-qt-engine by itself, which some stubborn apps (Firefox especially) don't play nice with. Most Firefox guides tell you to install QtCurve, which is nice, but not nearly as nice as Oxygen IMO, especially since even KDE apps will change to QtCurve.
I used KDEmod, but normal KDE should work too.
1.) Get the KFirefox theme here: http://ramonantonio.net/kde-firefox/ This will change the main look of Firefox. to integrate well.
2.) Get gtk-qt-engine, and install. This will let you set a KDE style for GTK apps. Unfortunately, "Use my KDE style in GTK applications" does not work in some stubborn apps, like Firefox, and you're normally forced to "Use another style" that's not as nice as your main KDE4.
3.) Get gtk-kde4-oxygen-theme from the AUR, and install. This is one of those "other styles", but it's very Oxygen-like.
4.) Go to the KDE System Settings, Appearance, and GTK Styles and Fonts. Select "Use another style", and then 'kde4-oxygen'.
Done! You may need to restart Firefox and/or KDE. Enjoy =]

Hello I'm the creator of the theme. Could you provide more information and test latest version?
Sure. I am using Minefield 3.0 and I just loaded your theme and it seems to work fine. Looks like you got whatever was causing the problem to work properly.

Xfce4, gnome, and my GTK apps???

What should I do here? So far I have done a fresh install of arch linux. I installed the light version of gnome, no extras. I did install a few gnome programs, like gnome-system-monitor, file roller, etc... functionality reasoning. I also have skype and audacious installed atm, pretty bare bones as u can see.
What I did was change DE's, I now am stuck on xfce4 and want to drop gnome from this arch install. What should I be worried about and how would you go about removing gnome without ruining the arch install? I really like my setup and my GTK apps, I do not wanna destroy it. Any advice???

Abdussalam.A,
you mentioned that Terminal does not work at all for your MacBook Pro. What currently happens when you run Terminal? In what way does it not work?

Activation Limit for BlueFire, OverDrive and other reader apps.

BlueFire, OverDrive and other reader apps for iPad uses Adobe ID authorization for each app. There is a limit of only six activations and each reader app counts as a new activation and if I exceed six activations I would get too many activation error. Does deauthorizing these apps credit back the activation count or only erase the activation from the device local storage? If I install both BlueFire and OverDrive I'll burn two activations. If I delete the app and then reinstall it I'll burn two more activations and if I hit the six activation limit I'll get too many activation errors. Why does each reader app count separately even on the same iPad? Why does Adobe count each separate IOS app as a separate device?

Oh, yes, I am clear now. Thanks very much again.
Perhaps the one we purchased has multiple user licenses？would you pls advise how to whether it is a multiple user license version or not?
(It seems a bit silly that I asked this question as I had the CD. The fact is that the preious designer left the company, but he did not turn over this to me. I dont know the details of the software.)
Thanks a lot.

IPad bombs out returns to home page using Google Earth and other random Apps, why and how can I prevent it happening?

iPad bombs out returns to home page using Google Earth and other random Apps, why and how can I prevent it happening?

Quit/close all apps and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
You can try this as well.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I bought a mic for my ipod touch 2nd gen and the mic works yet when its plugged in the speakers dont work, meaning i cant hear, so skype and other similar apps are un-useable, is there a way in which the mic and speakers will both work together?

I bought a mic for my ipod touch 2nd gen and the mic works yet when its plugged in the speakers dont work, meaning i cant hear, so skype and other similar apps are un-useable, is there a way in which the mic and speakers will both work together?

Looking at the details for this mic, it appears that the app has to have the option to use the internal specak when a mic is plugged into the headphone jack. Specifically:
NOTE: When MityMic is plugged into your iPod/iPhone you won’t be able to use the onboard speaker for sound output. You must remove the MityMic then play back your recordings. (The Skype app has an option to enable the onboard speaker even when the mic is plugged in, so you could use MityMic for placing Skype calls. However most other apps do not have this function.)
The above is from:

Must I open FB, skype, and other IM apps to get push notification in iphone 4s?

Must I open FB, skype, and other IM apps to get push notification in iphone 4s? Because I notice that once i close the apps, it will not send me message. I thought that is what "PUSH" means??

ok, i saw a line saying "If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications."
so, that means i must "open" the app in background in order to get push notification??
what i mean by PUSH notification is by double clicking your home button, then press on the apps and CLOSE the app and yet you can get message from your friends. I think iphone cannot do that currently?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
This is normal. OS X doesn't come with iLife apps, so you have to reinstall them after reinstalling Mac OS X.
If your Mac came without DVDs or you purchased it after July 2011, you have to install the iLife applications from the Mac App Store. Open the Mac App Store, log in with your Apple ID, go to Purchases and download GarageBand, iMovie and iPhoto free of charge.
If your Mac came with DVDs and you didn't purchase the iLife apps in the Mac App Store, insert the Applications DVD and install the iLife apps. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest iLife applications version

Connection lost and slow gtk apps

Hi,
I have a wireless connection (zd1211 chip). I am always connected to the router, but when it losts internet connection (telecom italia sucks), gtk apps (not qt) freeze for about 20 seconds before they start.(seems like a connection timed out) I had ubuntu before and I hadn't this problem...
Suggestion?

*Which* GTK apps? I suspect not all of them. Do you have mounted filesystems on NFS or something similar?

Working with the MS Word iPad and other office apps: Onscreen keyboard will not minimize

With Microsoft's announcement today of allowing limited editing capabilities in their mobile apps, I installed the updates on my iPad. So far, everything works great...with one exception: The onboard keyboard will not get out of the way...won't
minimize.
I have last year's iPad Air and was trying to use my Bluetooth keyboard with each of the MS Office IOS apps. Consistently, across all of these apps, the keyboard would stay on the screen and the key for minimizing the keyboard had no affect, even though
my Bluetooth keyboard was linked and working. Any other app I use automatically removes the onscreen keyboard when the Bluetooth keyboard is detected.
This does make the applications difficult and not much fun to use.
Any thoughts? Anybody else notice the same issue?
My office has begun deploying Office 2013/365 and I know we'll have some users on iPads and other tablets, so I'm real interested in correcting this if at all possible.

Beryl and Other OpenGL apps.

Hey all,
I am running xfce4.4 under Beryl and have been having an interesting issue.
When I try opening any other OpenGL app(IE celestia, xscreensaver, etc) I get this wierd overlay effect where the OpenGL app distorts and flickers.
I have AIGLX running with the xf86-ati-video drivers running.
Any suggestions?

try
Unredirect Fullscreen Windows
in General Options -> Advanced.

Are we ever going to see this (and other mobile apps) available for Android?

I'm starting to get pretty upset about this. I've been a proponent of Adobe CC since it started, as the licensing and payment model works great for small businesses like mine. However, I feel like I'm not part of the CC group now as more and more mobile apps are launched that we cannot access. Surely there's a huge portion of Adobe CC users who don't use Apple products, but still work on the road and want to work with clients in their offices, etc, etc.
Calling all non-Apple users... please can we apply some pressure as a group and get Adobe to make some sort of effort on this front?

Or how about the other 90% of businesses working on Windows? When will this be available for Windows? (2-in-1s, Surface Pro 3, etc.)
Please, stop with the Apple bias, Adobe! I'm never going to realistically use Comp CC, Photoshop or Illustrator on something that has only 1GB of RAM, a cutesy single-core mobile device processor (vs. the i7 in the Surface Pro 3), that can't print to the HP color laser jet sitting next to me, that can't multi-task between programs and that forces you to use a squishy, hide-the-pen-tip, rubber-tipped stylus. It's like choosing your teenage daughter's tablet to do demanding, professional work. Square peg, round hole.
