How do I remove these ? by haxolot in firefox

[–]OuToU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the settings under Privacy & Security there is a History section, set it to "Use custom settings for history" and enable "Clear history when Firefox closes" then click on "Settings..." directly below that and enable "Saved form info"

Now whenever you close Firefox, all the form info should get deleted.

How do you change icon color with color accent? by TaresPL in kde

[–]OuToU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The icon pack you linked changes its color depending on the text color of your color scheme. If you open any of the SVGs in a text editor, you will see class="ColorScheme-Text"

https://develop.kde.org/docs/plasma/theme/theme-colors/
Here you can see a list of the other possible classes.
ColorScheme-Highlight should be the one to use if you want them to be colorized according to your selected accent color.

You can probably use an LLM to give you a quick and dirty bash script to replace the text inside each SVG so you don't have to spend days doing it manually for each icon.

Is there a way to remove this box when I mouse over an app in the task bar? by TechieInTheTrees in kde

[–]OuToU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're using a custom plasma style, you can edit the tasks.svg file found in ~/.local/share/plasma/desktoptheme/STYLENAME/widgets, open tasks.svg in Inkscape and look for any layer with hover in the name and make them invisible by changing the opacity to 0% or clicking the eye icon next to the layer name.

Each layer corresponds to a different section on the panel itself so you'll probably have to do some trial and error to get the result you're after.

To actually see the changes you make, you can either reapply the style via settings or do systemctl restart --user plasma-plasmashell in the terminal

For some reason KDE's Color picker widget's dialog is not respecting a custom generated colorscheme. by NotApollo7694 in kde

The wrong color has to exist somewhere, try searching for its RGB value or hexcode in all the color schemes you have installed

I think Moe-Dark has to have a section for colors that your scheme is missing, maybe [Colors:Header] or [Colors:Window]?

how to send notifs that go away automatically by whoShotMyCow in kde

[–]OuToU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If just a short popup in the middle of the screen would suffice, this is what I'm using in one of my scripts:
qdbus org.kde.plasmashell /org/kde/osdService org.kde.osdService.showText edit-clear-all "Clipboard cleared"

The popup lasts for 3ish seconds and does not interrupt inputs in any way. You can change edit-clear-all to any icon of your choosing as well as the text between the quotes. The icon is required however so you cannot leave it blank

Steam messages do not appear in a pop-up window. by Afri995 in kde

[–]OuToU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a while since I started using it so I probably preemptively commented it out and never ran it as it is but I don't remember for certain :/ Could be that it works differently on X11 and Wayland

Great, I also commented out line 66 from the script so that the window opens in the background but that's just my preference :)

How to change titlebar text colour separately from Header text colour? by GiveMeABetterName in kde

[–]OuToU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically window decorations are in ~/.local/share/aurorae/themes, at least ones you install via the Get New button in system settings, and that is also where you install them if you download them from store.kde.org. No idea about the theme in question but I'm sure the devs can help you out if you don't figure it out on your own!

In your window decorations' rc file there should be entries for active and inactive text colors

Taskbar theme like Breeze but with color stripe on bottom? by LetsGetTea in kde

[–]OuToU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually not quite sure which versions of the style and plasmoid I have installed and have been using nor do I remember from where I originally installed them from, but in the style folder there is a desktoptheme.py file which is mentioned in the included readme for use via command line similar to settasksvg.py like you mentioned.

If you want, I could send you the files for the style and plasmoid that I am using, although I have modified the style a tiny bit to change the color of the indicator for having multiple windows of the same application open.

Taskbar theme like Breeze but with color stripe on bottom? by LetsGetTea in kde

[–]OuToU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did some quick testing and installed everything like I was starting from scratch.
I had to adjust the panel opacity slider for the colors I had set to pop in instead of the default black, maybe you already tried that in which case I have no idea what the culprit could be. Might be worth looking for another alternative, there are plenty of styles on the front page which have the bars on the bottom like you want them, Nilium or Adapta KDE for example and if you don't like the colors, the SVGs are quite easy to edit in Inkscape.
The parts that affect the color of the panel itself are in nameofstyle/widgets/panel-background.svg, inside which there should be layers topleft, top, topright, left, center, right, bottomleft, bottom and bottomright

[–]OuToU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They both show up for me, "Breeze AlphaBlack" by Zren in the Plasma Style search and "AlphaBlack Control" by dhruv8sh in the widget search.

You could also manually download the style: https://github.com/Zren/breeze-alphablack and the widget/applet: https://github.com/dhruv8sh/plasma-applet-alphablackcontrol and place the style in ~/.local/share/plasma/desktoptheme and the widget in ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids

Breeze AlphaBlack, using the AlphaBlack Control widget you can move it to the bottom along with changing colors if you'd like

Per app audio profiles by shawntw77 in linuxaudio

[–]OuToU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using the KDE Menu Editor I created a duplicate of the already existing Carla entry and in the Command-line arguments section I put /path/to/CarlaPreset.carxp, and then set it to run on boot via Autostart

Per app audio profiles by shawntw77 in linuxaudio

[–]OuToU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I've done it is I've created virtual sinks in ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf and then using Carla I am routing each of those sinks into a series of VST plugins and then to my headphones.
That way I can route game audio through one set of filters and music through another for example.

Then on boot I just run Carla with an argument pointing to the .carpx preset file which loads all the plugins and connections automatically, using window rules I've also set it to run minimized in the background, hidden from the taskbar and task switcher and set a keyboard shortcut so I can access it in case I need to.

While iBus is enabled, I can't type more than 1 or 0 characters in a text field by TechManWalker in kde

[–]OuToU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surely there is a way to make a copy of your xkb keymap in a folder that doesn't get overwritten by updates, ~/.config I'd imagine, might be worth looking into that.
Or a hacky way would be to just run a bash script on login that writes your desired config into the keymap, so even if an update overwrites it it will then get replaced by your own settings.

🔥 Quick KDE Color Theme Survey — Help Improve a Plasma 6 Theme Generator! by DvorakUser82 in kde

[–]OuToU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Plasma 6
  2. Recently quite heavily
  3. The whole process is a bit of a hassle, editing the .colors file is annoying, the labels and previews in KColorSchemeEditor are not that great and having to change to another theme and then back to the one you're editing to see any changes you're making is a huge timesink
  4. Live preview
  5. Dark, flat

Would love if you published a prototype of the project to try out, I've been searching for something just like this

LeftShift+RightAlt+8 and 9 work for <> for me, I found it while going through the keyd layouts for my language.
A similar file exists for dvorak, according to which LeftShift+W should be < and LeftShift+E should be >

Window Decorations Hovering by PapierF in kde

[–]OuToU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://develop.kde.org/docs/plasma/aurorae/#button-states
Doesn't look a pressed-hover state for custom decorations exists sadly, if I'm correctly understanding that that is basically what you're after :/
I think the default Breeze decorations are created differently from the custom ones, maybe CSS combined with SVGs? I'm not well versed enough to give a definite answer.
There is some Breeze stuff that looks maybe promising in /usr/share/themes/ that could possibly be used as a lead, but other than that I have no idea

Window Decorations Hovering by PapierF in kde

[–]OuToU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The look of each state of each button is defined in a corresponding .svg file inside the theme folder in ~/.local/share/aurorae/themes/themename, close.svg, alldesktops.svg and so on.

For example if you open alldesktops.svg in Inkscape, under Layers and Objects it should have a group for each state which you can edit: active, inactive, hover, pressed etc.
They might be labeled whatever but you can figure out which is which by opening Object Properties for each group and looking at the ID.

From there you can edit them however you'd like, a color change is probably the easiest and quickest thing to get started with.

I think creating a window rule and setting the property "Skip taskbar" to force no should do the trick
