neddie Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) 2009 Spring again, using KDE3, and Firefox looks awful - really clunky toolbars and buttons. Under gnome it looks fiine. Is there a way I can configure the gtk stuff under KDE3? Previously I used gtk-qt-engine but that doesn't seem to work any more...

It must be something specific to your setup as Firefox looks just fine on my 2009.1/KDE3.5 install. As lexicon said, try it with a brand new user to see whether it's related to some user setting.

neddie Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Well, I tried it with a new user and got a whole load of other problems (video-related, flashing screen, various strangeness) but indeed you're both right, Firefox looks fine. So I tried "find .kde -name "*gtk*"" from my user and deleted those three files, now it looks fine again! Thanks both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 On a similar note, does anyone know how to stop Firefox (3.0.10) making annoying "brring brring" noises whenever you download something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted May 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Update: seems to be some kind of system notification, as it makes these noises when I upload files too. And if I listen carefully, Firefox also makes a very quiet noise on minimize, and so do Thunderbird and Gimp. KDE system notifications are disabled, and KDE apps like Kate, Konqueror, digikam etc all respect that and don't make noises. Is this some kind of gnome or gtk configuration that I need to edit to switch these notifications off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bingus Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 From memory there was an option to mute system notifications in the Pulse audio sound prefs... not at my usual PC so can't tell you for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I had to disable pulseaudio in a (failed) attempt to get sound in Skype working, so that's not it. But the annoying sounds are in Gimp too, which means I have to mute the whole system in order not to go crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Skype does not work natively with PulseAudio, but it's not unlikely someone having made a startup script for the issue (like they have done for Audacity, which also does not work with PulseAudio natively).
