Posted: Wed Apr 17, 2013 7:47 am Post subject: OpenBox not consistent |
|
|
Hello,
I do really enjoy leaving the big and greasy huge KDE/Gnome environment.
OpenBox is really easy to configure and do the job, and just the job I asked for.
However, two things could be improved, and I would request your help here:
a.) I just won't have consitency in themes/window/colors: of course I added both Qt/KDE and GTK/Gnome in my USE, but I just can't have two windows that even look similar in their aspect..it is a bit of a hugly stack of different glued pieces of (different) puzzle together.
Is that the price/cost of using a lightweight windows manager?
b.) doing weekly emerge update in a ~amd64 @world, I got suprises from time to time...the latest is that DBus seems now all broken: I just can't shoot Docky anymore:
Code: | $ docky
[Info 09:19:51.977] Docky version: 2.1.4 Release
[Info 09:19:51.981] Kernel version: 3.8.7.0
[Info 09:19:51.981] CLR version: 4.0.30319.1
[Fatal 09:19:52.061] DBus could not be found and is required by Docky. Exiting.
|
Is there a recent change that I should take care?
Is my config/autostart to be changed ?
It was just OK "before"....
Sorry for this dual-post, maybe I should have split, but I can't help but save topics.
cheers,
Ben |

a) gtk+ and Qt apps always will look different, as long as you don't use themes that look the same (like oxygen + oxygen-gtk or qtcurve)
You may want to change your theme using qtconfig and gtk-chtheme.
b) Probably you had an update of glib recently. Try with rebuilding dbus-glib. |

I run lxde on top of openbox, it gives me a (more or less) consistent look without the bloat of kde or gnome. _________________ PRIME x570-pro, 3700x, 6.1 zen kernel

This is not about installing kde or gnome to make apps look similar but to make apps using different toolkits look similar (so the other way around):
I use qpdfview (Qt4) for reading pdfs and gimp (gtk+-2) for image processing. Those apps will always look different as they use different toolkits with different theming approaches/apis/... In order to make those apps (you don't want to replace!) look similar you have to use themes (for Qt4 and gtk+-2) looking similar.
And your setup (lxde+openbox) won't magically make that happen... |

Meaning you don't even USE-flag them? (or even unUSE-flag them?!?)

I do shut off these Code: | -kde -gnome -libnotify -pam -consolekit -policykit -systemd -udisks | in my make.conf file
And don't try and run kde or gnome programs.

Wasn't trying to imply that it would. Yes I do use themes.
One can even do that with openbox by itself, http://box-look.org/ is a start _________________ PRIME x570-pro, 3700x, 6.1 zen kernel
