well the themes edit these files, so all the changes are to be recorded in these themes only i guess

Hey @q4osteam is it possible to change the button image/color on hover when using icewm twin theme? Right now it only changes the image on click

As far as we know no, but we are not quite sure.

We would recommend you to save your $HOME dir snapshot, for example as tar.gz, make desired changes and get another snapshot. Subsequently you can compare both snapshot using kdiff3 tool and check all the changes even inside the files in well arranged way.

Please don't post duplicates if not needful. It takes our time and attention.

Also tried theming tdm at /etc/tdm/... Via tdecmshell tdm, setting the gui style to qtcurve does set it to qtcurve.. but I can't set it to like Darkonair.qtcurve etc. is there any way to theme it's qtcurve theme?

theasmitkid · 2025-10-12 10:39

@q4osteam i am getting this error a lot..

to reproduce:
- first make sure theme is timir
- open: tdecmshell style
- configure qtcurve widget style
- do anything
- click apply/ok

result:

- happens everytime

i dont know if this happens with debonaire, but it prolly does with darkonair too..

konsole output:

asmit@q4os-desktop:~$ tdecmshell style
[kcrash] TDECrash: Application 'tdecmshell.real' crashing...
asmit@q4os-desktop:~$

We can confirm this issue. It's not Q4OS, but Trinity native issue. You can reproduce it on vanilla Debian / Trinity stable installation:
- Run
$ tdecmshell style
- Widget style > configure > options > predefined style > select for example Ozone > Ok > Ok
- Tdecmshell module crashes

So we consider this issue as an upstream one. Some config option in /opt/trinity/share/apps/QtCurve/Ozone.qtcurve probably causes the crash. The same as for /opt/trinity/share/apps/QtCurve/Darkonair.qtcurve

theasmitkid · 2025-10-13 15:58

Are there any qtcurve themes (similar to debonaire, darkonair) where this issue isn't produced?

q4osteam · 2025-10-13 16:12

Just check the built-in themes /opt/trinity/share/apps/QtCurve/* and try to apply them.
