    This is awesome. Unfortunately on my HiDPI laptop I have not succeed in using CDE in a way that my eyes can see the desktop detalis. xrandr does not look as easy to use in my case. If I solve this issue I will return to CDE as a daily driver. Of course the need to support the new type of fonts (opentype) remains THE big problem for me even on non-HiDPI screens. And his relates to HiDPI: if I increase the font size for example the old Greek fonts that are available in the format CDE can use, look...

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> Yes Manjaro is Arch+EasyInstallation. Minor differences exist I think but they are ...minor. How do I easily install your images. Sorry, I am used to use pacman for this (or yay) but pacman does not find cdesktopenv in the repos. So I guess some manual way must be used unless the packages are uploaded to community and install with yay. Currently if you do yay -Ss cdesktopenv it says: [atsol@damo ~]$ yay -Ss cdesktopenv aur/cdesktopenv-git...

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> Since Manjaro Linux is essentially the same with ArchLinux and many people prefer Manjaro since the installation is easy, is it possible to have cdesktopenv on Manjaro too? [atsol@damo ~]$ pacman -Q cdesktopenv error: package 'cdesktopenv' was not found [atsol@damo ~]$ pacman -Ss cdesktopenv [atsol@damo ~]$ Thanks, Antonis.

    I change the subject (to locale settings+HiDPI) but the subject does not change and again it is Building etc... sorry for this but I do not understand what is going on with the subjects of the emails.

    Thanks for the answer. I will check what you wrote about locales. About font sizes it is not easy to fix it for non originally supported locales. I am in el_GR.UTF-8 and currently I can not find good Greek fonts for sizes above 4. If at some point CDE manages to see and use scalable fonts (does it?) what you suggest may work for non Latin languages such as Greek. Antonis.

    I am trying to set up CDE on a Librem13 laptop by Purism running PureOS (Debian derivative). Once in the wiki there was a startxsession.sh script but now it has been removed(?) I do not see how to set properly the locale if not en_US, without this script. It seems that LANG from /etc/locale.conf is ignored. But if from cde.desktop instead of executing Xsession this is changed to startxsession.sh and the latter script exports LANG before executing Xsession everything works. So if startxsession.sh...

    Is there a solution for HiDPI monitors and CDE? I tried some xrandr commands (from the ArchLinux wiki) but did not manage to make it work. Also I set Xft.dpi in .Xresources but firefox did not care. Moreover, on a laptop the mousepad works only if you actually click. If you tap the pad it does nothing. Antonis.

    Does sound work after you login using dtlogin? It used not to work. I had written a howto for this, but maybe it now works out of the box and this https://myria.math.aegean.gr/~atsol/newpage-en/software/cde/dtlogin.html https://myria.math.aegean.gr/~atsol/newpage-en/software/cde/dtlogin.html is irrelevant. I will test it on Manjaro Linux. Antonis.
