Description Steffen Eibicht 2015-05-04 20:01:47 CEST

Hi,

I did a brief testing of Mageia 5 RC in Virtualbox and stumbled over some optical bugs, which are... annoying. That's why I wanted to share information

Description of problem:
The color of the fonts of the icons which are on the desktop by default, is black. The default wallpaper is dark, so the fonts can not be read in a proper way


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Mageia 5 RC with Cinnamon Desktop


How reproducible:
Just boot the system :-)


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.


Reproducible:

I've done a bit of research, and it looks like changing the font color requires editing the GTK+3 theme directly...
cf. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Cinnamon#Desktop_Icons_Text_Color

A prerequisite to fix this bug might be to fix bug 15844 by defining "adwaita" as default GTK+ theme instead of "oxygen-gtk" here:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/cinnamon/current/SOURCES/cinnamon-mageia.gschema.override?view=markup

Comment 5 Joseph Wang 2015-05-05 08:20:34 CEST

Is there anyway of fixing this without changing the gtk+3 theme (i.e. through nemo only files).  I don't want to muck with gtk+3 packages this late in the release.

Comment 6 Rémi Verschelde 2015-05-05 08:44:12 CEST

I searched for a while but couldn't find much info apart from how to edit the GTK+3 theme directly. I've tested it and it works, though I also find it pretty messy, but it looks like that's what GNOME/GTK+3 devs like.

The GTK+3 changes are nemo-specific though, so they should not harm other components (hopefully..).

If you can find a way to change the color in Cinnamon's gschema.overrides though, it would be great.

Comment 7 Joseph Wang 2015-05-05 09:07:07 CEST

I'll play with this in nemo.  It should be possible.

The default font color for the desktop is now white. Standard theme is now Adwaita. This bug got somehow forgotten to get closed.

Closing as FIXED.
