Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Ah. Thanks. That's a very good step to know and will be helpful :)

Then I guess I'm back to the beginning of my wish list - to be able to have the 'images' folder pre-.deb so that I can dowload theme features from a list of modified feature .pngs on a web page, insert them into the 'images' folder and have the modified-to-taste .deb created.

There's another Mariners baseball game today. While I'm watching it in a corner of my computer screen, maybe I'll use this time to practice going to root and replacing the theme's feature .png with an altered one.

I've got some instructions from a post by jellotherat and another by him(?) here, as well as ebe51's nicely detailed step-by-step instructions. All these instructions came from the Show off you Startup Screen! thread.

I'm sure I'll evenutally, maybe, perhaps figure it out :D

Answers to Underscore's questions
 

Yeah, I see the black line on the keyboard. It has nothing to do with LCARS. Looking at the nuvoClear gtkrc file, I see Change that "#000000" to "#ffffff" and the black line disappears.

For the record, the current LCARS packages (v4.1) all install/uninstall properly on the current OS. Unthemeable graphics (statusbar and tasknav icons, startup graphics, and other things that don't change when you switch themes) are in their own package, "lcars-extras" (which can be removed while keeping the themes themselves). The theme packages aren't functionally much different from other themes, although they were actually built with the official theme tools, rather than with ThemeMaker. (see http://live.gnome.org/Hildon/ThemeHowTo )

That's a ThemeMaker bug. There are supposed to be two different images for each desktop applet - one completely opaque, and one alpha-transparency mask. Instead, ThemeMaker produces two identical images (both with transparency). Take the internet radio, for example: the image "qgn_plat_radio_applet_bg.png" is supposed to be completely opaque (since there's a separate image for it's alpha transparency mask, called "qgn_plat_radio_applet_bg_alpha.png"). ThemeMaker mistakenly outputs the same image for both of those, and when the OS tries to apply the alpha mask to an already transparent image, it bugs out and produces the weird artifacts. If you don't feel like waiting for Konttori to fix ThemeMaker, you could fix the images individually and then repackage the theme.

Re: Answers to Underscore's questions
 

Thanks a million! These are the only things that are really 'bug'ging me right now and you pretty much fixed them with one post. I searched through the images folder and found both the (supposed to be) opaque and transparent images before, but I never really knew that they were the source of the problem. I'll see what I can do, thanks for your support.


*edit* I'm using WindowsXP....what could I use to edit the gtkrc file? If I edit it with notepad the formatting seems to go haywire.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Sorry... I got an email from a poster asking if it was possible to make a transparent background clock applet to add to the FunFun4c theme and then I went and lost the email :o

So let me throw the modified FunFun4c theme out into the great big public forum and hope whoever emailed me will read this thread again.

I present to you... FunFun4f ('e' was a bit of a disaster :rolleyes:).

The zip file contains the .deb, description + notes, the theme's actual template .png for anyone who'd like to also play with making some modifications for their own theme, a couple of screenshots to show some of the mods (mostly the analog/digital transparent-background clocks, translucent radio and internet search applets and font sizes) and one or two other things I can't remember at the moment.

In keeping with the spirit of the thread, here's a screenshot showing the analog transparent background clock:

Ummmm did I just see a QuickTime plugin? Where can this be gotten?

Re: Answers to Underscore's questions
 

http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm :)

I just edited on the device with leafpad :)

I'm sure it comes from Bundyo's web mplayer plugin. Not sure on how/if it works though.
