Lila Theme Official Thread (Part 1)

I'm back from my holidays again...
and it's great to see that development is still going on at a high pace.

I have some things to say/ask:

I haven't heard anything from the cvs acces thing... but I don't think it's a real problem if scaba and salmo do have acces. (do you?)

I'm going to have a look at the xfce themes I made in the beginning of Lila and update where it's needed

http://rezza.uni.cc/lilawiki

We have no wiki anymore but I remembered some icons still had to be made, how can we solve this?

How is the mail list on the dedicated Lila server going?
That's about it...

I upgraded librsvg, libxml2 and nautilus to the latest, but it didn't help. I get "500 internal server error" when I try to download the latest theme here:

http://lila-theme.uni.cc/themes.html

Are there any other mirrors?

@9-speed
concerning cvs access you should contact dgt84.

Okay, I am now running the latest Lila theme but there's still the issue with the makefile. So, I dug a bit deeper. I fired up inkscape to look at the makefile mimetype icon, "gnome-mime-text-x-makefile.svg" and it looked okay, at least what meets the eye.

Then I replaced this icon in the ~/.icons/Lila/scalable/mimetypes folder with an icon from the Gartoon theme. And guess what, Nautilus doesn't crash anymore. This is weird. I'd like to help fix this if I can, because Lila is a great theme!

Neato, it works now! :lol:

There must be some kind of "bug" in the old icon, then?

OK the site has been slightly updated... more being worked on as time permits. There should be a lila forum up soon.

Oh, also, If anyone has any idea about setting up a wiki manually then please get in touch with me via email (dougwhiteley \at/ gmail \dot/ com ), AIM (rezza314), MSN messenger (doug@bits.bris.ac.uk) or jabber (rezza@jabber.skynet.be). You can see what I have up so far at http://lila-theme.uni.cc/wiki/ . It looks like its kinda working, but it spews PHP errors all over the place.

Another quick website update: the front page has been changed to a news section where anyone can post news. The wiki and forum are being worked on next.

Well the FTP Server will be down again for a little bit the company i am working for donated me a p3 500 w/256mb ram and 2 6gb hdd's not bad they have a few of these that they are tossing out because there being replaced:-) So i'm going to move the ftp server to this new machine and toss the other one in a trash can. You can laugh now and again and again i had the ftp server on a p166 w/32mb ram he he worked fine though i also had samba installed on it and for being so slow linux really does do wonders on a slow machine.

Well I seem to be spamming this topic with website updates... lol.

Anyway, there are forums over at the lila center now, and they might be a cleaner way of discussing things. Shoot on over and sign up people. It should lessen the horrors of thread page search we have to go through to dig information out of this topic

Great work rezza!!
If we're going to use the new board, I think it's a good idea to lock up this forum thread with the last post saying we moved over. Otherwise we still have to keep watching this board while using the other...

Nice job setting up the forum. I agree with the idea of locking up this thread and migrating over to the lila-center forums, where we can have multiple topics, threads, etc.

Sorry I've been sporadic lately, they're working on the cable in my neighborhood so my connection is up and down (mostly down, grrrrr.), and I've generally been too busy working during the day to do anything before 6:00pm my time. After tomorrow, I should have a bit more free time.

I'm having trouble in Xfce with the Lila icons, as they are SVG-based. The current "stable" version of librsvg is 2.6.5, which is 4 months old; the current version is 2.8.0. So I get a crashing panel everytime I try to run SVG icons in Xfce because of an outdated package. Apparently, the package will only be updated with Gnome 2.8.

Has anyone else experienced this? How did you resolve it?

I'm using gensplash on my system, but lila doesn't like that; it wants me to have bootsplash instead. Is there any way to update the dependencies to reflect the Gentoo shift towards gensplash and away from bootsplash?

Snooper · Posted: Thu Sep 16, 2004 2:19 pm Post subject:

there is a guide to using bootsplash themes with splashutils look it up in the documentation and tips thread.

you just have to move the theme from /etc/bootsplash/<themename> to /etc/splash then move the files from config into the top level theme name

theme
-bootsplash-1024x768.cfg
-config
--bootsplash-1024x768.cfg
-images
--bootsplash-1024x768.jpg
--silent-1024x768.jpg

then delete the config folder and rename the *.cfg files to 1024x768.cfg from bootsplash-1024x768.cfg
