Finally I could solve the test issue, here is the code https://github.com/hmollercl/lubuntu-breeze-config
If we create a phab repo we could add it there.

@tsimonq2 do you have any news on this?

Created bug for cairo issue:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131625

I found out this also happens when printing, maybe that's more problematic than pdf creation.

ok, we leave it the way it is know then

I dont think we are on a complete agreement. Ny question is:
Should we set SAL_VCL_QT5_USE_CAIRO=true or not?
If not, pdf problem
If yes, libreoffice home problem

I agree with that, but with SAL_VCL_QT5_USE_CAIRO=true we have consistet look and feel and pdf export.
BUUUT, you can only launch libreoffice apps, you cannot launch libreoffice alone. That is "libreoffice --app" vs "libreoffice" in the commandline and in the menu clicking the desired app (calc, writer, etc..) ws libreoffice alone.
Personally I only run the apps directly, not form the libreoffice alone, but that's size 1 sample.....

but which bug is better to leave? the pdf or the libreoffice home?

Just tested SAL_VCL_QT5_USE_CAIRO=true with should solve the pdf. It solves but running plain "libreoffice" with it on commandline crashes for me. But if I run "libreoffice --writer" (or calc, impress, etc..) it works, I updated the bug upstream.
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125234

Yes, also print dialog should be Qt-isch but with that about sialog should be enough.
Problem is when exporting pdf it didn't work for some fonts.

@wxl When runing debuild, it could be usefull to add -tc flag so "postclean" is run since there are a lot of files created in debian folder that won't be deleted with "rm -rf !(debian) .pc/"

@kc2bez I believe that those other themes make differences in kwin (or maybe plama?), so we don't see it. This "color-schemes" files are from kde and have more than the colors, you cal look at those files and see.

I added a note regarding apps need to be restarted

• changed copyright, removed some commented lines, bumped standard versions apply new debhelper compat standard

Updating D82: Added nm-tray.conf to xdg-Lubuntu so nm-connection-editor is default.

Bump standards, apply new debhelper and compat norms

@wxl https://phab.lubuntu.me/D82

added a restart app when apply so user can see the effects

So, I did some changes that make the app restart after "apply" and it restart with the new config chosen.

P.S. I suggest kdialog.

commented lines 98 to 102 are my attempts to redraw (which haven't worked).
I wonder why submit button says "Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom".....

@hmollercl Of course I don't want it, but it's the best we got. I had supported the change here but only decided against it because I didn't feel it was fair to non-Lubuntu users. For some reason we didn't thing it was XDG-respecting, but it turns out it is. I think my last comment should explain why.

So, this small script let the user choose different color-schemes for Breeze.

sorry, so @wxl you want now nm-connection-editor to be the default instead of nmtui?

woops, didn't check that because I didn't modify it. Will look at it.

yes, I don't think is an issue anymore with e-papirus.

In D72#1617, @wxl wrote:

Is there any other way to make this work? Or hope that upstream will fix it?

apparently we will have to wait upstream. We could let the envvar but not the package, the package an not the envvar or none, but with both vcl=qt5 will be used and the problem in generating pdf will happen.

Although it would be better to have the colorful icons, the e-papirus make them look in the menu. And it might be hard to maintain the .desktop in the different languages, if only we could "touch" some lines and not the whole .desktop.

• …is this just a copy of the original?

99% is, except the close.xbm and in themerc the lines:
window.active.button.close.unpressed.image.color:#BA63D1
window.inactive.button.unpressed.image.color: #7F8388

I wouldn't recommend installation of nvidia by default, I believe it can bring us more problems than benefits.
I'm dealing with nvidia, still is a pain, manually had to blacklist nouveau and fonts appear very small apparently because of dpi miss lecture and and when xorg.conf is created back screen appear https://askubuntu.com/questions/1189311/ubuntu-19-10-nvidia-xconfig-makes-screen-black

mmmm, maybe we should revert this, there is a bug when exporting to pdf using embeded fonts see https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125234

1. It seems that the main menu background was somehow based off of the text palette rather than being hardcoded, which, I'm thinking, might make it more dynamic.

It sounds good in theory but in practice I haven't been able to make it work well because of our strange combination dark/light. palette(text) gives the light background https://phab.lubuntu.me/file/data/ttrldxvuelxtrwlrkxqd/PHID-FILE-rewnjzd6z5bnokqc2cbs/image.png , palette gives black https://phab.lubuntu.me/file/data/f7xfnxptzrtpbccbv6aa/PHID-FILE-t3uhfy727jqnveam45z7/image.png . If same result https://phab.lubuntu.me/file/data/5ca5lmzalxicymra5icf/PHID-FILE-p6c4vzko4e7mmmoivcxp/image.png could be achieve with palette I would prefer palette, but I'm not having been able to do it. I'm no expert on colors so if there are better options I'm willing to use them.

2. The main menu selected item goes from being an rgb (decimal) value to being an html (hexidecimal) one. I'm sure as far as the end result is concerned, this doesn't ultimately matter, but perhaps consistency might not be wise?

I used the same consistency of the original file https://phab.lubuntu.me/source/lubuntu-artwork/browse/ubuntu%252Ffocal/src/usr/share/lxqt/themes/Lubuntu%20Arc/lxqt-panel.qss in which those backgrounds are rgb. We can change all of them, but I don't know if that has been done for a reason or not.

1. The commented lines which should be removed, unless we're trying to expose some options to allow people to change, in which case, they should be documented.

In xbm lines starting with # are definitions, not comments https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_BitMap

2. It should have a Lubuntu copyright.

You mean change this?

When I created the task I didn't know if it will work, now I know it's feasible and have uploaded all the changes needed except for meta.

instead of patching we might have to take a whole git version, there are to much commits from the last release. We should try to get a new release and establish a deadline to get it or do the git/patch

remove old close xbm

Ok, I made 2 changes to better match the whole theme. Changes are background color and selected. I put the same of the menu.
Please tell me if you like it to upload the changes to phab.

However, this is how the in menu search looks with breeze dark, lubuntu arc, papirus-dark.

border: none;
background: palette(text);
color: #D2D8E0;

}
change background:
#MainMenu ActionView {

border: none;
background: palette;
color: #D2D8E0;

}

This could have some releations with the "redraw" of the menu. If you change a .desktop icon (directly not icon theme) or category it won't be notices untill you restart.

I found out that with breeze qt style is quite easy to change between dark and light breeze color schemes
The color schemes are in: /usr/share/color-schemes
and to used one it need to be copied to ~/.config/kdeglobals
so this make the magic happen:
cp /usr/share/color-schemes/BreezeDark.colors ~/.config/kdeglobals
(restart pcmanfm-qt icluiding --desktop for it to be seen in pcmanfm-qt) and to revert erease kdeglobals or:
cp /usr/share/color-schemes/Breeze.colors ~/.config/kdeglobals

I installed Spotify as snap and it appears in the menu. Also Remmina and OpenRa, all in 20.04. But Remmina put yhe .desktop in the normal /usr/share/applications

I only reported the issue, haven't followed up either. To be honest I don't remember much why it happens and how we solve it.

I tried to let it as default in the code, but tsujan didn't let me.
We will have to change it in the xdg that goes to ~/.config/pcmanfm-qt/lxqt/settings.conf entry PerScreenWallpaper=true

PR already merged, we should wait new release to have it for 20.04 or package the git.
https://github.com/lxqt/pcmanfm-qt/commit/dfdf1fa0db00330d927e664c8e6829c0835adfa7

If someone wants to look a this, apparently here is the code that does the magic in nm-applet
https://github.com/NetworkManager/network-manager-applet/blob/master/src/applet-vpn-request.c
https://github.com/NetworkManager/network-manager-applet/blob/master/src/applet-vpn-request.h

for documentation purposes, I already did the modifications and is in a pull request waiting for review and aproval to be merged https://github.com/lxqt/pcmanfm-qt/pull/1043

and we should do the "intervention" here https://github.com/hmollercl/pcmanfm-qt/blob/master/pcmanfm/desktopwindow.cpp#L618
in the
// really generate the background pixmap according to current settings and apply it.
void DesktopWindow::updateWallpaper()
function

I have an idea, instead of use xrandr to get the current monitor configuration to use ~/.config/lxqt/lxqt-config-monitor.conf [currentConfig] info.

Thanks @guiverc, there is a problem when no internet is found by geoclue. But that's more a redshift problem than a redshift-gtk or redshift-qt. There is no fallback. However, you can give redshift and redshift-qt manual latitude
-l LAT:LON Your current location
I haven't take the time to see if the ppa will actually update the version, is more for testing purposes (instead of giving the .deb)

@guiverc I just uploaded version 0.5-1 to ppa, could you test it if icons works ok?
thanks!

thanks @guiverc I think problem is that Oxygen Icon doesn't have redshift icons so fall back to whatever. I will have to revisit where should I leave the icons during installation.

I thinks that this from bugie is a little overwhelming

remove mention to dch -r in README

Ready with the repo and initial commit https://phab.lubuntu.me/source/redshift-qt/
not sure what I need to do next.

fixed versio 19.10 to 20.04

added update script modification to changelog

remove test file
