Xfce4 styles and themes

where do you get your styles and themes for xfce4 from?
or do you know about communitys for customize it?

There's an XFce section on themedepot.org: http://www.themedepot.org/showarea.php4?area=40

Styles and Themes - CUSTOMIZATION

Hi everyone,
do you know if is it possible to customize styles in Xcelsius or to create owner styles and themes (for ex. like ADMIRAL, AQUA, ELAN...) ???
Thanks for your help!

Hi LC
No you can't. Take a look at this thread and also the threads/urls it references:

Styeles and themes in map builder

Where are the styles and themes created using the map builder tool stored?

Hi Richard,
For styles, you can definately create them once (in any schema), and use them from any other schema. For instance if you are connected as user A and you want to apply the style 'star' defined in user B, just use the format 'B.star' to reference it.
Themes and base-maps, however, cannot be shared across schemas at the moment. This is mainly to keep things simple. If we allow cross-schema reference of themes & basemaps, you will soon end up with some confusing scenarios.. For instance, imagine this:
MapViewer is connected to db user A, and we want to display a basemap from user B. The base map contains a theme from user C, and another one from user D. The first theme actually relies on a table owned by user E, while the 2nd theme gets its data from a view ownded by user F... pretty soon we no longer knows what is really being displayed on a map.
So my suggestion is to create styles in any place you want, but create themes (and basemaps) in the user that is connected by MapViewer, in this case, your <schema>_WEB account. Different applications or departments within an organization often want 'personalized' themes/basemaps for the same tables, so storing themes/basemaps closer to the application (instead of their underlying data) is not a bad idea (i hope).
There is unfortunately a bug in Mapviewer that makes it hard to create a theme for a table from a different schema (yea we tried to 'keep it simpler' - bad idea). Currently, the work around is to manually change the user_sdo_themes entry, so that its 'base table' column looks like 'schema.ROADS', and also add an entry in user_sdo_geom_metadata for 'schema.ROADS'. This will be fixed in the MapViewer soon, and also in Map Builder so that when creating a new theme, you can see all the spatial tables across all the schemas you have 'select' previlege.
thanks

Where in the database should my themes and styles and maps etc... go?

We had a problem performing an export of the MDSYS schema for backup purposes. When we tried to import our data, after a database corruption thanks to a patch, the themes and styles, and maps that we created did not get put back in user_sdo_themes, maps, styles, etc... the data was never exported.
Oracle support is saying that these things should not be going in the MDSYS schema, if they do not go in there, then where should they be going? Also how do I map the definitions back to where I should be putting them? We create all of our spatial data in a schema named RESOURCES. Should I be creating tbles such as user_sdo_themes in my RESOURCES Schema?
thank you!

The MDSYS user does in fact contain all of that information, but you should not be exporting the mdsys user any more than you export the sys or system users.
When I export map metadata for a user, and I want to be able to reinsert that data on import, I will do something like the following:
before exporting, I will create metadata tables
create table my_maps as select * from user_sdo_maps;
create table my_themes as select * from user_sdo_themes;
create table my_styles as select * from user_sdo_styles;
I'll export those tables with whatever data I am exporting.
After the import, I'll do something like this:
insert into user_sdo_styles (select * from my_styles);
insert into user_sdo_themes (select * from my_themes);
insert into user_sdo_maps (select * from my_maps);
When I am sure everything looks copacetic, I will drop the tables I created for export.
hope this helps.

Can I use photoshop text styles and photoshop actions with creative cloud photography?

I'm really confused by this subscription pricing. If I purchase the $9.99/month, do I get the full desktop app of Photoshop and Lightroom? But I see on this page Products they list something called Photoshop CC that costs twice as much. How is that different from the Creative Cloud Photography?
My main question is whether I can use photoshop text styles and photoshop actions with Creative Cloud Photography, since I just purchased a bundle that includes these and I want to be able to use them. But I'd also like to understand what comes with all of the various products and how they are different.
My other question is how is Lightroom different from Photoshop? I have a sense of what you can do in Photoshop but I don't know much about Lightroom at all.
One more question: the free trial -- is it limited in any way besides the time length? If I do that, will I get a clear idea of all that I will be able to do once I subscribe, or are the functions limited in the trial?
I tried to just send an email to Adobe to ask these questions but apparently they are not interested in responding to emails from people who are not yet paying customers, so I was directed here. Thanks very much for your help!

I always like to trot this bit about Bridge once in a while or in the voice of the "Two Bobs" from Office Space,
"Can you tell us exactly what it is you do around here?"
What Adobe Bridge does:
Bridge is the coordinating hub of the Creative Suite. Synchronizing color management settings for all suite programs is done from Bridge, and can only be done from Bridge, to take one important use.
Bridge displays actual thumbnails of many more file types than Finder or Explorer. It also allows instant play of sound or video files more readily than the native OS file managers.
Bridge allows direct access to file metadata, to embed copyright information and keywords where appropriate (e.g., for corporate logo vector and raster files). It also displays the fonts used in an InDesign file, the swatches in an INDD or AI and the output plates (including spot color plates) they use.
When managing the assets for a design project, Bridge allows quick and simple sorting, rating and custom labeling (with color flash indications) of assets. I can rate images according to whether they are rejects, possibles, for review by client, or approved. The filters built into Bridge allow instant isolation of only the approved images or designs in a folder, only the rejects (for deletion) or only files with certain ratings, no matter how many files it contains. It recognizes aspect ratios, so if I only need a landscape or a 16:9 image in a folder of hundreds of images, I turn off the aspect ratios I don't need.
Once filtered, the remaining visible files can be selected and copied, moved, or deleted without affecting the rest of the contents of a folder.
Collections are a massively useful feature. One of my clients is a performing arts center, and in a season we turn out dozens of ads, flyers, brochures, web banners, playbills, billboards and other collateral using the same assets over and over. These assets are organized by artist and/or show on disk, but I set up each season's repeating assets as a Collection in Bridge, so that I just have to open the collection and drag and drop these assets into new INDD, AI, PSD, HTML (in Dreamweaver), FLA or AE projects without having to navigate from folder to folder picking up individual files.
Bridge's Favorites is another place I stack frequently-accessed folders, such as stock photography, backgrounds, and top-level folders for active projects.
Assets can be divided into subfolders, but a quick toggle of "Show items from subfolders" exposes all of the assets in a single view while maintaining their organization. I will typically keep AIs, PSDs, EPSs, stock photography and client images in separate subfolders within a project. When I'm ready to start pulling assets into an InDesign layout, I toggle this on and simply drag what I need into the layout.
Bridge comes with Adobe Camera Raw built in, which is many times faster than using Photoshop to adjust jpegs or tiffs for things like tonal range, white balance, cropping, spotting and sharpening, and is non-destructive.
One tremendously useful Bridge function for InDesign CS5+ users is the "Show linked files" feature, which opens all the linked files in a layout into a single view, regardless of where they are physically located. I often use this when doing alternative layouts from a client-approved mockup for a campaign, to be certain the same assets are used in each piece, or when creating a motion graphic or interactive piece for the campaign in After Effects or Flash.
The batch and image processing scripts built into Bridge automate things like creating web-ready small jpegs from multiple images, renaming large numbers of files in place or by copying to an alternative location, creating sets of PSD, png, jpeg or other file types from an assortment of image files, and so on.
Bridge is so much a part of my daily workflow that on my main workstation I have one monitor dedicated to it almost 100%. Bridge just sits open 24/7, ready for use. I would run at half speed without it, no question.

'Clear Paragraph Style' and 'Clear Selection Style'

In an old archived topic, someone wrote:
quote:
In DWMX, you could select text in the design view and in the
"HTML Styles" window (which no longer exists in MX 2004) all you
had to do was click "Clear Selection Style" and all HTML formatting
(paragraph tags, font faces, colours, bold, italics etc) would be
removed. This was marvellous for reformatting tag
based text with CSS. MX 2004 claims to be a CSS machine, but it
seems to lack this very important feature which helps to re-inforce
the use of CSS over font tags.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=189&threadid=714513&arc tab=arc
I absolutely agree, and none of the alternative methods
people suggested in that thread matched this lost feature for speed
and ease of use.
I've not seen a replacement for these commands in Dreamweaver
8 either (although I've often wished for one). Does anyone know of
a hidden feature that exists in version 8 for removing all the HTML
formatting in one fell swoop?

I count 4 steps.
1. Copy the entire line
2. Paste into notepad
3. Copy the entire line
4. Paste into DW
That does it nicely no matter how much presentational markup
there is.

GTK Styles and Fonts module

Having just got my fonts sorted out in KDE I have set-up a user login for my wife and gone through similar steps to give her a desktop that she can start working with. However, if I go into the KDE Control Centre - Appearance & Themes - GTK Styles and Fonts and then select "Use another font" under the GTK Fonts section and click "Apply", move elsewhere in the Cntrol Centre and then return, my changes have not been saved! I have repeated the process several times (and it works in my own login) but it will not save the option.
Anyone else had this odd behaviour - I assume it must be a bug?

GTK styles and fonts missing in KDE

when I go to system options, there used to be GTK styles and fonts under application appearance, but I don't see it there no more.. am I missing something? is it just because of gnome3? I also tried this, but it didn't help..
any hints?

Styles Dropdown in Formatting Toolbar vs Styles and Formatting Pod

I'm new to RH8 and I notice that the Styles dropdown list in the Formatting Toolbar displays only Paragraph and Character Styles while the Styles and Formatting Pod displays Paragraph, Character, List, and Table Styles.
How do I add List (LI) styles to the Styles dropdown list in the Formatting Toolbar?
Is this a bug?

Welcome to the forum.
You don't add them and it is not a bug.
The toolbar is the old way of selecting a paragraph style, the pod is the new way and contains the new style types that have been added.
The toolbar has been left in as an easy way of selecting paragraph styles quickly.

Styles and "space before" quandry

I will assume that most readers are familiar with PowerPoint and are aware that for your average bulleted slide master you can change the space before or after on a per-level basis without using named styles. I want to use spacing in Keynote but am seeing annoyances.
Method 1) If I use all the same style name as in the default themes, then I end up with that asterisk after all but one style, because there is only one unmodified "Body" style and the rest are considered overrides.
Method 2) If I use different styles, I have to reach for the mouse more.
Am I missing a technique to effect this, without overrides and with (I assume) using only one style?

Thanks but that's not what I meant. I can use the spacing just fine. The issue is with the outcome of the two methods. #1 introduces overrides (and, by the way, reassigning or clearing them does not always work), and #2 requires an assignment to many paragraphs.

A thought on Style for the sake of Style, and a question: Where to wire constants?

Lately, I've been trying to hone in on aspects of Style that effect my program's performance, and ignoring stylistic niceties in the sake of meeting deadlines. For example, Local Variables: if they work and don't cause race conditions, what the hey? I used to break my back to use as few locals as possible, but after Profiling some vi's, I've found I can live with 50mS delay here and there. Same for the "one page diagram" idea. Most of my programs take up two screens, while still using several sub-vi's! I've even gone back to using sequences after swearing them off a year ago. Where's the break-even point of using excellent Style and keeping your job?
Now for a question that I can't s
eem to profile my way into an answer::
Most of my programs run in one large loop and use Cases to run events. Many items require constants. Does it make much difference to place these constants OUTSIDE the loop? I'm assuming a constant of 12093.0092 may take more time and memory than, say a boolean True constant or a Not A Path constant. Any thoughts?
Richard

Hello. In regard to the first part of your question, it's very important to remain productive and meet all of your deadlines. You can maintain good style and obtain efficient performance and improve your productivity by following some simple guidelines. One such guideline is to use a state machine architecture for most of your top level diagrams. With a state machine, you can avoid local variables by passing data in shift registers, and reading or modifying the data within the appropriate states (frames of the case structure). You also conserve block diagram space by breaking your application into snippets that each fit within one frame of your case structure. Best of all, you can easily expand your application as needed by simply adding more frames to the
case structure and enumerated type definition.
To quickly create a state machine using LabVIEW 7.0, choose the Standard State Machine Template from the New... dialog, under Design Patterns.
For more simple style guidelines, view the presentations at the following link: http://www.bloomy.com/Resources.htm

Displaying default styles in an advanced style as theme based foi

Hi,
I have a problem to display the default style of an advanced style as theme based foi.
According to the mapviewer log x feature were found to display but no one was rendered into the map.
MapViewer with image layer works, MapBuilder, too.
MapViewer version:
Ver1033p5_B081010
MapBuilder marker definition:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<AdvancedStyle>
<BucketStyle>
<Buckets default_style="C.ORANGE">

<CollectionBucket seq="1" type="string" style="C.RED">14002,13004</CollectionBucket>
</Buckets>
</BucketStyle>
</AdvancedStyle>
The mapviewer log indicates 7 found featuers, but only 2 of them are displayed. The 5 items are using the default style and are not visible.

Hi Joao,
thanks!
Do you know a workaround or alternative for that problem?
I have a request of our customer. He has about 400 different group items. Only a few of them (40-60) should be defined with an individual style and the rest with a default style.
The problem is, that the number of group items rises nearly daily. The new ones should automatically be displayed with the default style.

Needless inline styles and span tags

OS: Win XP SP 2
Product: RoboHelp HTML 6
Output: WebHelp
I am finding some instances of needless inline styles and
span tags in some topics in a project. Around these problematic
instances are plenty of instances that have no problem. I used
non-problematic instances as guides for correcting the problematic
instances. Fortunately, RH hasn't overwritten any of my
corrections.
I am concerned about the insertion of needless inline styles
and span tags at two levels. First, I see them as indicators of
inconsistency. Whether the inconsistency is in myself or in RH, I
don't know (but I want to eliminate it). Second, needless code is
wasteful (esp., wastes time in code view).
Has anybody seen this before? Does anyone know or suspect a
cause?
SAMPLE 1
RH6 created: blah blah yaddi
yaddi
I corrected: blah blah yaddi yaddi
SAMPLE 2
RH6 created: blah blah yaddi
yaddi
I corrected: blah blah yaddi yaddi
SAMPLE 3
RH6 created: blah blah yaddi
yaddi
I corrected: <>blah
blah yaddi yaddi

Some of this has to do with how users have applied styles in
WYSIWYG mode; for example, if you double click a word (which
selects the space after) and apply Bold, then later select the word
by dragging the cursor to select only the word (which doesn't
select the space after), RH will usually surround the selected
characters with "normal" span tags and often leave the bold in
place.
This same type of style formatting might have been repeatedly
done in the original form that might have been imported (Word,
Frame, etc.). So, then, if you compound the code bloat from an
imported file with additional formatting in RH, well you do the
math.
I've seen code wherein a six-word sentence might be saddled
with as many as 10-12 SPAN tags and might stretch into 6-7 lines of
code!
However, these are still flat files, not binary; you'd need a
ton of extra code to increase the aggregate file size a lot. Heck,
your graphics will usually take more room than your topics. One of
our child projects has 153 .htm files at 3.25 MB, whereas the
aggregate of .gif, .jpg, and .bmp graphics exceed 4 MB. My view has
always been this: until the underlying code affects the format I
expect to see in my output, I consider extra SPAN and KADOV tags to
be nothing but white noise.
Good luck,
Leon

Newbie: 7210 style and 9914A style controller ??

I'm new to GPIB, and am considering implementing Labview or HP VEE.
I'm in the stages of identifying a controller that supports both
packages. I've seen some references to 7210 style and 9914A style
cards. Is there a significant difference, or is this transparent to my
application? Is it dependant on the software application, or the
equipment I am interfacing with?
Also, where's a good place to get GPIB cables? Controller (preferably
PCI)?
Thanks.

Unless you are designing equipment that uses these ICs there is no need
to worry about it.
FYI the 9914A (from TI) is no longer available
The 7210 (from NEC) is only marginally superior.
National Instruments makes replacements that are supersets of these old
ones.
They also make one that is much better than either.

Since I like NI (National Instruments) I sould say you can buy everything
you need from them.
I will say that their cables are a little less rugged than those available
from HP
(Hewlett-Packard or is it Agilent now ??).
Some GPIB caveats:
No more than 15 devices can be connected to the same controller.
At least half of these must be powered up.
Maximum cable length is 15m (you can usually get more at lower speeds).
No more than 2-3 m between each device.
None of these are hard and fast rules but if you follow them there should be
no problems.
Shameless plug GO WITH LABVIEW !!
