Solus Plasma defaults

logtom

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.

@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:

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

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

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

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

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

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.

perstreperous FiraSans Book is a very good font https://github.com/bBoxType/FiraSans

This font is used in Pop OS

I wanted to report that when I went to install solus plasma, I could never put the installer in Spanish I had to continue with the English and Google translator to see what it said

JoshStrobl

alexis0071 The Installer is in English, the language selection is for the installed system.

alexis0071

JoshStrobl
haaaa and thanks for your answers and for the time you use for us

alexis0071

I thought that by putting the language in Spanish, the whole installation process in Spanish begins that would be easier for Spanish speakers and much better for people who are starting

Could you set the GTK theme to the same Budgie/Gnome currently uses (Plata)? I think it is better looking but most importantly much more readable than Breeze dark. Also I think this is the direction QT theme should be going, currently those tones seem bland and not readable enough.
I just moved to Budgie after a year of Plasma, and I think Plasma is a fantastic edition, but Budgie is themed nicer.

JacekJagosz The plata maintainer hates QT, and wont make a Kvantum (A theme engine for QT that makes it easier to create individual themes) or QT theme for Plasma. That said, feel free to try making a Kvantum theme for it. That's why the Plasma desktop in Solus just uses a color scheme.
