Trisquel GTK theme issue
- Login o registrati per inviare commenti
Hi,
I'm tweaking my netinstall progressively, and I just retrieved Trisquel's theme from the live CD,
because it's quite good, even without window decoration.
The problem is: it's not fully working.
I know that some packages might be missing/not be installed. For example, some other themes might require gtk2-engines-murrine, things like that.
I see there's metacity written in the aforementioned trisquel folder. But I'm not too sure about what to do.
With the idea of keeping it as lean as possible, what should I install now?
Or at least, where should I start looking?
Any screenshots? It'll probably be great at pointing out where the problem is.
Sure, here they are.
Abrowser looks mostly fine (maybe the navigation bar is off).
With Synaptic, Claws and Thunar (and others), someting is missing.
What desktop shell are you using? (anyway try installing and using lxappearance)
(anyway why didn't you just install trisquel-gtk-theme from synaptic? Remove the copy you took from the Live CD and try that)
Right now I have a Trisquel Netinstall. I installed xorg, LightDM and i3wm window manager.
I have no desktop environment, only i3wm.
I also already have lxappearance installed.
Have you tried changing he theme using lxappearance (and maybe installing the package from Sysnaptic as well instead of simply copying from the CD, since installing the package means that whatever packages the theme depend on will be installed as well)?
Many thanks David, very good idea :)
I found trisquel-gtk-theme in synaptic with 3 gtk engines inside.
It definitely improved abrowser and the file manager, even claws though it's still a bit ugly, but there might be dedicated themes.
On the other hand, synaptic didn't change, even after restarting/tweaking lxappearance. but maybe it's like that in the live CD, I'll check again.
There's one package left that might be interesting (it has the cursor theme for example. the package is called trisquel-desktop-common).
But the list of dependencies is very long.
I'll probably go through it and see what I want to keep.
EDIT
Well, Synaptic is still missing something indeed. I'll keep on looking, but I'm open to other ideas.
If it's not the GTK themes, what can it be?
I may be wrong but I don't thinm Synaptic's to be blamed at all here.....
Anyway, do you use Synaptic by su-ing and then entering su to the command as root. If so, try using lxappearance as root.
Great idea, thanks again.
It worked, but not completely.
When I sudo synaptic, it works.
From dmenu (it's a menu, as the name says), I can open synaptic-pkexec instead of plain, non sudo synaptic.
a prompt pops up, but then it's synaptic without the the Trisquel theme.
Maybe it will be ok after a restart, I'll let you know.
Try setting with su -c "lxappearance"
Weird, my password doesn't work with su -c "lxappearance".
It should mean that I don't have set up a password to the root account? I don't master that stuff yet.
--------------------
Ok, sudo su instead of su alone did the trick, and it worked.
Thanks for your help davidnotcoulthard, much appreciated :)
