[Hampshire] GTK themes
Since upgrading to Ubuntu 14.10 the theme I use in XFCE has started showing some things in different colours. I've tried tweaking the settings for it but had no luck. I did some googling and came across mentions of gtk+ inspector and gtk parasite for helping to debug gtk. However I haven't had any success getting them running on Ubuntu. Has anyone else managed this? Or can anyone else suggest another way of finding out where the errant colours are coming from?

It's not that much to worry about really - but if you're running a Gnome desktop, you'll already have GTK. Make sure you also have the -devel packages if you want to build against it, though. > 2) When it says "or above" in the er.. above then is it best to take the > latest library, or to grab the library that is the same or slightly higher > that the version number? It's *usually* best to take the latest library. Occasionally, if one or both components has changed dramatically since the other was released, you might get difficulties. But cross that bridge when you get to it...

[Hampshire] Gtk+
Can anyone enlighten me out of my general Linux ignorance? I've bought a Canon multifunction scanner. Managed to install the drivers (from the Canon download site) for printing which works (!). I am now trying to get the scanner part to work. The documentation says: REQUIREMENTS You need automake and autoconf to build these programs. * automake(1.9.5 or above) * autoconf(2.59 or above) You need the following libraries. * Gtk+ (2.6or above) * libgimp (2.0or above) * libdl(2.0or above) * libpng (1.2.8 or above) * libusb (0.1.12 or above) * libcncpcmcm (1.0.0 or above) * libcncpmsimg (1.0.0 or above) * libcncpmslld (1.0.0 or above) * libcncpmsui (1.0.0 or above) * libcncpnet (1.1.0 or above) Which I'm planning to look for using the Synaptic Package manger. Can anyone answer these: 1) If I'm running Gnome/Debian/Mint then is Gtk+ already part of the system? It appears to be a whole shed load of libraries. 2) When it says "or above" in the er.. above then is it best to take the latest library, or to grab the library that is the same or slightly higher that the version number? Thanks to anyone who can help. Ben. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --
