Btw. regarding fonts no distro seems to be perfect. While the rendering of the fonts for my Arch install might be better for nearly all applications, compared with my Ubuntu install, I get unwanted psychedelic colouration effects for black fonts, when visiting websites with Mozilla and Mozilla forked browsers, only on Arch Linux. -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
Re: [ubuntu-studio-devel] antiX Linux, great piece of software to construct other UbuntuStudio
PS: I prefer openbox over jwm, for the very simple reason, that I'm able to remember, what key I need to push, assumed a window's title bar hides under a panel. Apart from this jwm most likely is faster and smaller, than openbox, but also as stable and comfortable as openbox. However, it's an issue hat sometimes window title bars disappear under a top panel and since openbox is more or less equal to jwm and I know how to move a window in such a situation when using openbox, I only install jwm as a fallback, assumed openbox should fail. -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

Instead of a script using xrandr, I prefer an xorg.conf, while just using one monitor and I autostart feh by the WMs autostart features. Ubuntu ignores ~/.gtkrc-2.0, ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and qt5ct seems not to be available by official repositories. I don't know how to set up wine fonts, but already common configs to set up GTK and Qt fonts doesn't work for Ubuntu. You might need to get through all dependencies and take care about all font configurations. Debian/Ubuntu might have add patches, you perhaps need to remove, when building your own packages. My daily workstation for good reasons is _not_ Ubuntu, but Arch Linux ;).

[ubuntu-studio-devel] antiX Linux, great piece of software to construct other UbuntuStudio
Hi to all. I remember that some one give the idea for use jwm and like x windows managers to construct a UbuntuStudio release. I I said I did not like the idea that connect to external monitors was difficult, and that this is automatic in UbuntuStudio, easy to configure. In addition I could not set my external monitor VA1931wa-LED ViewSonic to 75Hz to avoid eye strain, but now I found a solution with this script: #! /bin/bash # Este es el script que yo utilizo para ponerle 75Hz a mi monitor externo y al mismo # Adaptado de "Using xrandr and gtf to add a new mode to your X configuration at runtime" http://www.arunviswanathan.com/node/53 # Este script funciona primero apagando el monitor de mi laptop y luego poniendo el nuevo modo al externo y los 75Hz xrandr --output LVDS1 --off xrandr --newmode "1280x768_75.00" 102.98 1280 1360 1496 1712 768 769 772 802 -HSync +Vsync xrandr --addmode VGA1 1280x768_75.00 xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x768_75.00 feh --bg-scale /home/wachin/.icewm/wallpaper/Jesus-inside.jpg & # Para ponerle un wallpaper al escritorio de icewm después que he puesto los 75Hz. With this script first: 1.- turn off laptop monitor 2.- turn on external monitor 3.- enable wallpaper (of course in second because this are on) Now I working in the config files and make a entry in my linux blog icewm Administrador de Ventanas para PC con bajos recursos en Ubuntu http://facilitarelsoftwarelibre.blogspot.com/2016/07/icewm-administrador-de-ventanas-para-pc.html is only in english, but contain very usefull content. Now I install antiX Linux 2016 to learn the .icewm folder, inside this are more configurations that I need to learn. This antiX have others x window manager like jwm, but I think that IceWM is the best (this is the default in antiX). I think that is possible fo UbuntuStudio Team make other release but with IceWM Then it would be two download releases that the public would 1.- UbuntuStudio XFCE based 2.- UbuntuStudio IceWM based But now I have only a several problem.

[ubuntu-studio-devel] unmet dependencies

[1] I was informed that xubuntu are seeding shimmer-themes directly, rather than murrine-themes. Shouldn't we do the same? Any pros and cons we should be aware of? As with many of the technical things, i'm very much a noob in the whatnots of theming and its dependencies. That is, if you guys can break it down for me in the easiest possible way, i'd be super grateful.
