Version: 3.1.3 (using KDE KDE 3.1.1) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux I had the ThinKeramik style as default and then I went to the theme manager and clicked the first item the "Default" item (which really shouldn't be called default since it shows the hicolor style) than I clicked apply. My panel became inacessible and it became jsut a gray because my mouse was skipping slowly and ther est of the desktop was gray too, moving windows left many redaws behind and skipped slowly too. I rebooted the computer. Now it said ksplashscren had a segfault and all I could see was the panel in KDE, the rest was gray, my mouse still skipping and I couldn't click anything. I also couldn't go into GNOME to try to fix KDE because I had automatic login so I didn't even go to KDM. I don't know what happened, but I hope all ANCIENT THEME MANAGER THEMES ARE REMOVED because they may cause the same problem that happened to me. I am too scared to even test another theme. Hopefully this was just a SuSE 8.2 bug or something else triggered it. BTW: The theme manager is pretty useless because it can't handle C++ styles. Everything in the Look n Feel section of the control center should be able to be changed with a Theme Manager theme.
I did another install and well I know I said I wouldn't, but I tried the same thing, but this time I didn't alter the system, it was a completely default SuSE 8.2 with almost everything on the DVD installed. Same result.
Sounds like the same bug as #62293.
Yes, but its more general than the bug link you gave me. It does this crap on any theme in teh theme manager, this si a very serious bug IMO, but yeah I guess this is a duplicate.
*** Bug 62293 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Okay what's going on!!! It says my bug is a duplicate of Bug 62293 and Bug 62293 says its a duplicate of my bug!
NM, I was looking at the wrong thing. Sorry.
The Theme Manager is no more. It was removed so I will close this bug.
Very well ;) I do hope that a far better theme manager that will be able to support everything in teh Look n Feel and Destktop section of the control center willa rise, because the idea of a theme manager is fantastic.
Subject: Re: Theme Manager totally destroyed my KDE All I wanted to do was find out what a "theme" is, but the Theme Manager wiped my desktop. So now you are wiping the Theme Manager ... great solution, guys ... I still don't know what a theme is and cannot find out! So why not get rid of themes too?
Cool down! The theme manager can manage differnet package swhich can alter KDE's look and feel, for example a theme pacakge might include a different wallpaper, color scheme and style. A theme is the definition of a theme package. Ina ddition, I'm srue this si not a solution, it is temporary, there is not enough time to implement a very good theme manager in 3.2 without big delays. Remember 3.2 is a point release after all.
