[Solved] How to install ksplash themes in Mageia

[Creto]

Hi all,

How can I install a new theme ksplash in mageia 5

K Menu> System Settings> Behavior and appearance of the workspace> Appearance Workspace> tab "Splash Screen"

It would be the standard for installing themes in .tar.gz format also standard for this procedure far as I know

Sorry my bad english, i'm brazilian user and use translate google

Same topic in Fórum Mageia do Brasil

The button "Install theme file..." allows to install downloaded themes, and the button "Get new themes..." allows to download and install them from kde-look.org.

[Creto]

Yes it is the "Install" button, doktor5000.

But does not install the "theme.TAR.GZ" or .tar.xz files, which was to be installed, but it does

Simple in Mageia changed the default folder as the install KDE themes

Best regards,

Which theme do you want to install?

[Creto]

The theme that I do http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Ma ... ent=170783

And I know to install, and the graphic part or manually, the case is "not all know how to do manually" and changing the location of folders in the KDE mageia brought these problems.

So not posted any theme for mageia because I apologize but the distribution forces us to use only what comes standard with these default location changes KDE

doktor5000, sorry but this topic is more constructive criticism

You linked to your plymouth theme, where is to relation to ksplash themes? Or do you want to create a ksplash theme in the same design?

And there has not been a change in the location of the KDE folders since a long time, as far as I'm aware.
The ksplash themes that are installed systemwide would be located under /usr/share/apps/ksplash/Themes
or for user-installed themes it would be ~/.kde4/share/apps/ksplash/Themes and that has always been the case AFAIR.
See e.g. kde4-style-bespin-ksplash for an example.

Hi doktor5000, you asked:

Which theme do you want to install?

And most of the distros the folder is: /usr/share/kde4/apps/ksplash/Themes

And in short, so just tell me because in System Settings> splash screen, do not install a theme TAR.GZ just as it should?

Again I apologize, but to me that there is only buggy in KDE Mageia, only it

T+=Bye

Again, you cannot install a plymouth theme (plymouth is the bootsplash when Mageia boots, between bootloader and start of X server)
as a ksplash theme (ksplash is displayed after you login in your display manager when you start KDE) - those are simply 2 totally different things.

And yes, system settings works fine to install .tar.gz ksplash themes, just tried with e.g. http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Su ... ent=117251

If you want to create a ksplash theme, you may want to look at http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Ks ... ent=104456

[Creto]

Oops,

excuse me confuse me with the theme of the link, my theme ksplashX here http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Ep ... ent=169145

The rest remains the same for the part of co0nfigurações System> splash screen does not work!

T+=-Bye

Not sure what you are doing, tried the installation with your theme, works fine as with others.

Yes doktor5000,

Try >>=>>this one<<=<< based on ksplashqml...

Click Test the subject probably will not operate.

Now this rather work >> Default.tar.gz >>by Creto

Can be installed after renaming it to tar.gz, and test fails. If you run the dialog from a terminal via kcmshell4 ksplashthememgr
the following issue shows up when testing it

the engine is "KSplashX" for "Mageia-Ksplash-Claire"
Cannot find description.txt file.

Do the test with this other please

Can be installed after renaming it to tar.gz, and test works just fine.

Although the two themes only differ in one line in one file:

Code: Select all

[doktor5000@Mageia5]─[22:54:33]─[~] diff -ur .kde4/share/apps/ksplash/Themes/Default .kde4/share/apps/ksplash/Themes/Mageia-Ksplash-Claire

But that's a totally different issue then you described, first you said they cannot be installed.

I did the following changes, and now it works also fine:

Code: Select all

[doktor5000@Mageia5]─[23:05:06]─[~/.kde4/share/apps/ksplash/Themes] cat Claire/Theme.rc
[KSplash Theme: Claire]
Name = Claire

Renaming the theme folder from Mageia-Ksplash-Claire to only Claire helped.

Hi doktor5000,

but the theme is based on the workshop theme mageia org, with only a change of name and background.png

But I quite understand your recommendation, thank you for all the patience you had with me

I'll do the tests with their recommendations and feedback here

Best regards,
Creto
