[Thinstation-general] Issue with GTK theme and background

[Eric T. <eri...@un...>]

Hi,

Still moving from 6.1 to 6.2. Everything important is working.
I just got two features not working (it's "just" look and fell, but it's 
important for users) :

First : my thinstation.conf.buildtime and build.conf are exactly the 
same in each version


1 - Theme :
In ts-6.1, I managed to get beautiful windows, with rounded corners,...
I think I made this with GTK_THEME=Xfce option.
It doesn't work no more, I get pure vintage gtk look...
I don't know where I could find a way to solve that.

2 - Backgrounds :
I use a lot of profiles for different departments, and I used to use a 
different background for each. I use profile files 
(thinstation.conf.group-... on tftp server), and I made a little 
customization to enable this feature : background files are on tftp, and 
download during ts boot.
I just add a little piece of code in 
build/packages/base/etc/thinstation.functions, just after the lines :

###
use_wallpaper ()
{
         if is_enabled $USE_WALLPAPER && [ -e /bin/wmsetbg ] && [ 
"$WMNAME" != "xfwm4" ]; then
###

I add this code, that simply downloads the right picture from tftp 
server and copy it as /etc/background.jpg :

###
                 if [ ${TS_BACKGROUND_FILE} ]; then
                         if [ -n ${TFTP_BG_REP} ]; then
 
remotebg=${TFTP_BG_REP}/${TS_BACKGROUND_FILE}
                         else
                                 remotebg=${TS_BACKGROUND_FILE}
                         fi
                         tftp -g ${SERVER_IP} -l /etc/background.jpg -r 
${remotebg}
                 fi
###
TS_BACKGROUND_FILE and TFTP_BG_REP are declared in profiles files.


It worked in ts 6.1 (and older versions I used before), but now, when ts 
boots, I can see the picture as desktop launches (download of picture is 
OK), but as soon as icons appear, the picture is replaced by a grey 
background (though I can see little pieces of the pictures in 
transparent parts of icons). It seems the background is still present, 
but hidden behind a grey screen.
It sometimes did the same on previous versions, but only from time to 
times (most of the time, picture was OK).


Nothing really important, some would say, but offer something clean and 
not too ugly to users is important for me ;-)

Regards
E.T.
