Description Guillaume 2014-03-26 14:02:38 CET

A while ago, an option has been introduced in Drakconf in order to change the theme. It appears that this option is broken (trying to change the default theme for another one is not working. Try with this one for instance : http://malcer.deviantart.com/art/Mandriva-Elementary-Theme-MCC-211180775)

You will notice that you cannot change the theme using the menu and, if you click on 'Add new themes', a popup will appear, saying you'll find more themes at damz.net, a website that does not longer exist.


Reproducible: 

Steps to Reproduce:

Before beeing able to see the option, you need to add an extra theme in /usr/share/mcc/themes, then, if you relaunch drakconf, you'll see it

Comment 3 Otto Leipälä 2014-03-27 18:10:16 CET

Yes it's bit broken so i will too recommending to remove it.

Comment 4 Otto Leipälä 2014-03-27 18:20:14 CET

I think it's broken because drakconf is ported to gtk3 so it broke all drakconf themes what are gtk2.

Nope, i don't think so, i noticed this problem on Mageia 3 too. (to be confirmed)

Comment 6 Otto Leipälä 2014-03-28 19:29:32 CET

This just useless to remove anything from drakconf for now because drakconf is going to replaced with mageia new settings tool in future (admin panel),so why to do lot of work and then it's disappeared to air.?

I wasn't aware there were still people using alternate themes.
I though this was unused for the past 10 years

You're right, the only theme i have found is the one I mentioned before.
But if it is planned to rethink Mageia tools for Mageia 5, doing something will be useless.

Comment 9 Otto Leipälä 2014-03-29 13:04:56 CET

You can still use alternate theme just backup original theme and replace it with your own theme.

Comment 10 Samuel Verschelde 2015-05-19 19:00:04 CEST

I favour either fixing or removing the option and in any case remove the broken link to damz.net

Fixing it or removing it? (just to update the summary in case it's the "fixing" option that was retained)

Target Milestone: --- => Mageia 6

Happy birthday (+ a few months) unanswered question :)

More seriously, what's current status Thierry?

But then why is your comment #11 only one year old or such? :)
