Solus Plasma defaults

perstreperous

Lucien_Lachance I think this is because SolusDark is incomplete - there is no GTK SolusDark, so it falls back to Breeze (Dark).

An issue with KDE is that, if certain elements (e.g. fonts) in the KDE theme are changed, the equivalent elements in the GTK theme have to be changed by hand - they do not automatically change to reflect the KDE settings.

There are also KDE elements of SolusDark missing - e.g. no SDDM login screen or splash screen.

However, despite these flaws, SolusDark is an excellent start and the basics are there.

I really appreciate the attention to detail and sane defaults. I didn't feel the need to do a lot of tweaking after install. I tend to prefer Qogir icons, but that personal preference. Surfn Breeze Dark might be a nice addition to stand out from the crowd a bit.

Uniformity of Gtk app themes with SolusDark

Software Center in system tray?

@perstreperous Libreoffice

Draw is more powerful then kolorpaint
what do you mean with the cursor?
SolusSC are icons for the Softwarecenter, not an actual icon pack for Solus.
SDDM Login screen I do plan to do some changes but first I need to figure out how 🙂
and no splash screen, it slows down boot time

@livingsilver94

I agree with making Dolphion less fearsome but this seems to be more complicated
for Icons-only task manager I need to create a Solus panel, I use the default KDE one at the moment
ALT+TAB would need additional packages no support for this from Default KDE at the moment, but it seems we do get a different grid system for it in the future KDE Phab
? good catch, gonna have a look into this

@Lucien_Lachance

Yea I know, but KDE just starts with better KDE support, so I probably going to use breeze-dark gtk theme at the moment

@sothis6881

Need to checkout if I can do this via a solus default panel design and gtk is planned from my side but no ETA, has no first prio

Girtablulu Usually the cursor is the opposite colour to the theme. However, only breeze-cursor-theme (dark cursor theme) is installed by default. breeze-light-cursor-theme should be installed by default as well so that, when a dark theme is selected, a light cursor may be selected without having to do an install (and know what the light cursor theme is called).

If you go to System Settings -> Windows Management -> Task Switcher and change visualization mode maybe what I mean becomes clearer to you.

Would you be able to add colord-kde to manage ICC profiles?

Justin

WannaBeOCer You'll need to submit a package request.

The window of the touchpad settings menu is too small by default.

It should be more like this:

I've done a fresh install of Solus KDE 4.1 (was on budgie before). Here on the screenshot you can see that I can barely read filenames in code-oss in the "Open Folder" dialog window. I didn't notice this problem on budgie.

Girtablulu

@perstreperous Ah okay, yes makes sense

@TheMooseIsLoose not happening here, even on a test iso. But this is an issue upstream and I know they added or planning to add code where windows will have a min size depending on the screen

@logtom cannot reproduce this but I guess it depends that 4.1 still uses the breeze theme for gtk and not breeze-dark, can you go under systemsettings-->Application Styke-->Gnome/GTK and choose Breeze-Dark as a theme and check if this fixes it?

It didn't work. I also did a reboot, just to be sure.
Here are my current settings and you can still see the problem on this screenshot.

One nice little tweak would be to have the Solus icon for the Application Launcher menu button:

Justin

jgs Feels ever so tacky on every distro I've seen it used on.

JamesStevens

jgs How can I go about doing that? I like it better than the plasma logo. 😃

Girtablulu

if you have issues with a package phab task is the way to go not this post

logtom

Girtablulu
OK, it's here: https://dev.getsol.us/T8716
Should I also create a phab task for the illegible font color?

Girtablulu

@logtom this has most likely to do with my default patches I done, which this post is about.
Could you please create a new User and check if it still happens with the new user as well? Could be a config file which goes havok with it

kaktuspalme

Maybe I'm the only one, but I'm missing a light "SolusLight" theme. Therefore I switched to Breeze for that.

Why didn't vlc set the default media player in the plasma version?

Girtablulu

alexis0071
I want to have as less gtk stuff as possible on the iso and mpv player is a great player as well

alexis0071

Girtablulu

Thank you very much for your response, I think there is a vlc version for qt, if I remember correctly, I want to thank you, install solus kde and it is excellent

Girtablulu It's a shame the music player don't work. Everything works in Budgie, except there is no auto pop up asking me which program to use to open the inserted music CD.

It was the same with many other distros. KDE looks nice but everything doesn't work, like in Gnome or Budgie.

Just a few thoughts for what it's worth.
