Well, I eventually found that command. In the meantime I had built openbox and obconf-qt (for lxqt it _is_ (a little) better than fluxbox, but for a minimal wm when only X has been installed - so, no qt - not so good.
But anyway, my panel or taskbar was still black. Changing the text colour to light colours looked good on the panel itself, but the sections for open windows, and the menu, are light grey. In the end, I have gone for red text as the best compromise here. Still need to evaluate a little more, then I'll post my thoughts. That might take a few days, I've got a lot of them and many have moved from "I really dislike this" to "I could almost use this" (an indication of network activity is key for that, so far only icewm and xfce (with a plugin) do that conveniently - with kf5/plasma I can get a window but not a panel indication : in lxqt I have to mouse over the icon to get a current reading). For the moment, I'm doing a bit more on photos with the gimp (I think I've found instructions for pseudo HDR which work : more shadow and highlight detail rather than cinematic effects : but I'm not yet certain about the process). [ aside - there were plugins, i.e. using script-fu, which claimed to do this, but I tried those some while ago and got nowhere - my guess was that they did not work in 2.8 ] > > Replying to my reply, because I read the post-install instructions and > think these comments and instruction should be included there. > > Do you agree? > It would be useful. > Should I open a ticket for issues or something like that, to include > your comments/issues and fix them at once, or just add them to the pages > without including in the Change Log? > I don't think a ticket will be useful, unless there are things which we wish to think about. Most of what I have seen (and I might retract some or all of my comments!) is not worth mentioning in the Change Log. One problem I had last night - I had been running 'ck-launch-session dbus-launch startlxqt' and I noticed that for other WMs I use --exit-with-session for dbus-launch. So I edited my .xinitrc and repeated startx : no menu! At the moment I cannot find any way of typing in a program name to start it (I suppose I'm looking for the runner), so that was unusable. Took out the addition, problem continued. That made me think that an old dbus process might be the problem. Reinstated the addition, rebooted : things were ok. I had not seen that problem the night before (using fluxbox - I think I ran startlxqt several times, but not sure), and I thought I had started with openbox at least twice without any problems, so for the moment this is not a definitive diagnosis. ĸen -- This one goes up to eleven: but only on a clear day, with the wind in the right direction. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
