Also, I've noticed that after I uninstall all the LCARS packages, my key sounds (sounds initiated from hardware button presses) are still LCARS. Anybody know how to restore the original OS2008 sounds? )-: The key sounds are well done, but seriously geeky unless I have the LCARS theme installed/loaded.

Rebooting should return the old sounds. Id did in my case at least.

Follow the website. ;) Uninstall lcars-sounds and lcars-extras, reboot.

Did that. But I still get funky Trekkie keypress sounds. I'll try to reinstall then uninstall again and see what happens.

You sure you rebooted?

Yeh. A few times. Once with "reboot" and a couple of times with that tiny depressed button on the top of the device that looks like this:

:D

I have to say I'm not a Trekkie but thanks for the theme how-to :)

as for omweather, it's background is transparent and the font colour can be changed in its options.

Huh. Weird. Rebooted again. All is well now. The take-away, I suppose, is ... when in doubt, reboot. When that doesn't work, reboot again. x-: It kinda reminds of how you need to restart MicroB TWICE to get Greasemonkey working properly. And that's actually in the installation instructions.

True, but as mentioned in a previous post, the detail view (shows when you click on the applet) has a black font.

Oh,sorry, my bad.

As usual, I quickread and assumed :rolleyes:

It's a shame there aren't any more themes for os2008 (i've only seen ones with their size modified & plankton) otherwise problems with themes etc could get more noticed (AFAIK, the built in ones are all same font colour).

Re: LCARS themes for ITOS2008
 
I was able to fix most issues with apps using hardcoded colors by changing two colors in
/usr/share/themes/lcars-bridge/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

First the text colour

color["DefaultTextColor"] = "#CC9900"

this is a bit darker shade of yellow than in the original theme. This way it's readable on both dark and on bright background. -> fixing the yellow on white issues in apps like Skype and Video Center

color["DefaultBackgrdColor"] = "#FFFFFF"

Reverting default background color back to white. -> fixing the black on black issues in apps like OMWeather.

Doesn't have a big impact on the overall appearance of the theme. The only annoying side effect is, that the border around some buttons is still black.

Or another combination that doesn't break the appreance of the theme too much is
color["DefaultTextColor"] = "#CC0000"
color["DefaultBackgrdColor"] = "#F1DF6F"
