quite out of the blue, rox has recently started doing something very peculiar. All of my pinboard icons have a square around them, not just the text but the entire icon. Try as i have, I cannot get these squares to dissapear. I've modified rox options and GTK options and still nothing works. Has anyone else run into this? thanks, heli0s |

I can't remember exactly how I got rid of it, but I think it has to do with the way your windowmanager ( or some other program ) handles the root window. I think it's some sort of a fallback of Rox if it can't use transparanty on the desktop. -- Michiel |

It happened to me too, and the suggested solution (-o for --override) worked: "You may have to play around with your window manager to get the pinboard icons to display correctly (eg, without borders (...))" "If all else fails, try running rox with the '-no' options; this overrides window manager control of the icons altogether." I have a related question: I disabled the "Single-click navigation", so that files open by double-clicking icons. However, this only works for icons inside filer windows. Those I put on the desktop still open by a single click. Is there a way to get a uniform behavior? hysterion |

Same stu= ff (I've got -o on already so that the pinboard appears on every workspace). and `-no' didn't do anything. =3Do( thanks anyway, heli0s |

Does 'xdpyinfo' list SHAPE in the list of extensions? Do other filers (gmc, etc) have the same problem? Is the square the normal text background colour? -- Thomas Leonard http://rox.sourceforge.net ta...@ec... ta...@us... |

The rectangle is solid black, and for rox, the only progress i've made is that, whatever i make the text background, it uses that color. however this should not be extending up beyond the text itself. (here's a screenshot for further clarification : http://www.ct2600.org/~heli0s/rox.jpg). very oddly, i cannot find xpdyinfo anywhere on my system. Maybe a re-install of X is in order. thanks, heli0s |
