(_ _? that's not how x11 works. mixx is in charge of rendering its own content. it does so directly using x11 protocol to its own window. e just composites the resulting bitmap. the "it only happens in e - thus i blame e" is a bit of continuing false logic almost always from people who have no idea how apps, toolkits, wm's, x11 or compositors work. your logic is flawed. e is not involved in rendering, it's the client side that does that. at worse e setys the env vars to tell qt to use a gtk handling style plugin to make themes match between gtk and qt falls over badly when it can't find the gtk style plugin and qt or e sets dpi to something qt/mixx does not like. but both of these would be bugs on the client side. i've explained that e sets some env vars to encourage qt to use the gtk style plugin so it will inhrit theme information from gtk. if qt completely falls over as a result of this, then qt is not very good at handling its own errors. there is no way for e to know if qt can or cannot handle gtk themes. there is no mechanism to find out. if it's this then unset the env vars OR install the style plugins as i mentioned so qt stops failing poorly. it could also be that e set a dpi value lower than qt5/mixx would expect. there is nothing wrong with setting a low dpi. if you have a low dpi screen then this is exactly what you want. if this is the issue the problem is STILL in qt5 or mixx. it's not e's fault or problem that it sets a lower dpi value. you can find out the above by unsetting the above env vard then running mixx from that shell. you can find out if its xsettings dpi by disabling e's x settings feature - logging in again to clear everything out and running mixx (also try both with env vars gone an d x settings not there). but just saying "it's e's fault" is not even trying to narrow down what on qt/mixx's side the problem is as the problem *IS* over there as e has NOTHING to do with the rendering of an x11 client - only the final compositing of the resulting image. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
