 Posted: Fri Jan 23, 2015 2:45 pm Post subject: adwaita-icon-theme destroys my mouse theme |
 |
|
Hello,
after installing adwaita-icon-theme my default mouse theme is no longer working.
My custom mouse theme is located unter ~/.icons and configured in ~/.icons/default/index.theme
| Code: |
cat ~/.icons/default/index.theme
|
shows
| Code: |
[Icon Theme]
Inherits=GT3-azure
|
after unmerging adwaita-icon-theme everything is fine again.
Any help here? |

Well, you should know that adwaita theme/engine has its own cursor theme! I don't know if you can go otherwise... because GNOME/SystemD OS is all about "no choice."
Good luck.

Yeah it comes with its one mouse icon theme but I hope you're wrong that by installing gtk-3 I'm FORCED to use their own mouse theme now. I'n not even using GNOME as my desktop environment.
Any other thoughts / hints? |

Well then, how did you try to set a new cursor theme? With an app like LXAppearance? Does not work?
In that case, try... First, change and use another theme rather than adwaita (like zuki...). No luck? Second, hijack `/usr/share/themes/Adwaita/index.theme' file and set whatever you like! This is not necessary for gtk+-2, because a user settings file `~/.gtkrc-3.0' is there for that, but GNOME/SystemD OS devs decided to remove many users settings... so no `~/.gtkrc-3.0' to be found there! You're free, of course, to look for the equivalent for gtk+-3... but I will be surprised if such a thing exist for gtk+-3.0.
Good luck!

saski4711,
I hate adwaita too and I'm a Xfce user.
I have a | Code: | | /usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11/Adwaita_do_not_use/cursors/icon |
That gets me my hardware cursor back since X can no longer find Adwaita

Funny, expected something like this... GNOME/SystemD OS devs just want to impose their new **BRAND**--it's all about _brand_ these days. Well, at least a company (RH) is trying to get some noticeable market share.

Yeah that does it thanks so much for the hint. Funny that Gnome starts to act like a big player and forces stuff on us. At least they should allow us to override the defaults without hacking /usr/share |

Ant ... bah, standards. When they introduce a XDG_CONFIG_NONE=~/ then I'll happly accept this fdo "standard". Right now its just a further set of directories, and used by only three applications, while ~/.{dotfiles} counts just a little under 100 (when we subtract ~/.{config,cache,local})
| Code: | % print -rl ~/.*(.,/) | wc -l
101 |

It's not only a container for fdo bloat, I have a .config/git/ in there...
| Code: | $ find ~ -maxdepth 1 -name '.*' | wc -l
141
$ find ~/.config -maxdepth 1 | wc -l
36 |
But thanks for the reminder, I probably ought to tidy up my dotfiles... some of those programs haven't been installed in 5+ years! |

Dotfiles/dirs are up to date here...

Seems khay is in rant mood for XDG.
It's not a bad idea to have a user config directory in HOME like `PREFIX/etc' for system... rather than stuffing here and there... app custom sub-config/local/temporary directory.

tclover ... yes ... or something like that :)

Fine, but as I said above make it optional, we have a prior standard that most everything uses, we also have TEMPDIR for such temporary data, but with the fdo "standard" XDG_CONFIG_HOME can't be set to ~/ because the standard doesn't even consider them being dotfiles (or, in short, the prior "standard" is just rejected as obsolete). If the standard stated something like "you can set XDG_CONFIG=n and applications using xdg will use $HOME/.{application_name} for their configuration [...] you can also set TEMPDIR to something appropriate for temporary data and this will be used in place of .cache", I wouldn't really have a problem. The claim is that xdg will reduce "clutter" but in fact it adds to it, because there is no consistent "standard", dotfiles and xdg operate on two separate namespaces, and never the twain shall meet. That's not really a "standard" (because if you want to standardise you have to consider, and account for, prior methods) its (in typical fdo fashion) "here's the new standard, get use to it".
What annoys me, if anything, is that you have professional grade tools (like wireshark) that have a hard dependency on x11-misc/xdg-utils simply so that the 'help' button knows what browser to use (via xdg-open) when this feature can be configured via the preferences, and wireshark functions perfectly well without xdg-utils (and its dependencies) installed.
So, yes, its a "rant", but there is some thought behind it.
best ... khay |

khayyam,
Thats the wonderful thing about standards ... there are so many to choose from :)
Don't get me started about .INI files either, we all know what that developed into ...

tclover ... I was being ironic, Neddy probably meant to suggest windows, but anyhow, gnome3 is using binary files for configuration? They are under the Open Specification Promise I hope ;)

khayyam,
I was going to suggest the binary Windows registry.
Soon coming to the Linux desktop if we are not careful.

Neddy ... I'm sure there are 101 reasons why its a good idea ... grandma doesn't need to be bothered with having to don deep sea diving gear in order to run the latest botnet :)

I noticed that x11-themes/adwaita-icon-theme was pulled in as a new dependency by x11-libs/gtk-3.14.9, which was marked stable for GNOME 3.14. I actually use KDE with only a couple GTK applications.
After the update, I noticed the following elog message:
| Code: | * Messages for package x11-themes/adwaita-icon-theme-3.14.1:
*
* Installation of a symlink is blocked by a directory:
* '/usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11/default'
* This symlink will be merged with a different name:
* '/usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11/default.backup.0000'
* |
The '/usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11/default' directory exists because I use an 'index.theme' file to set Oxygen_White as the KDM cursor theme.
| Code: | [Icon Theme]
Inherits=Oxygen_White |
The issue is that every time x11-themes/adwaita-icon-theme is emerged, another '/usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11/default.backup.000x' symlink is created. Potentially creating many useless symlinks, which need to be manually deleted.
If I rename the 'default' directory to 'Oxygen' and create a symlink to it named 'default', x11-themes/adwaita-icon-theme will silently overwrite the symlink and make itself the default.
My solution was to add '/usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11/default' to INSTALL_MASK to prevent the symlink from being installed. |
