Some more misc integration stuff about nscde HOT 6 CLOSED

Thanks. I will try this in VM next month and incorporate what is appropriate for new release.

Hi @tim78245

I just tried this with xcalc, xedit and xterm. Good work for this old apps, nice look. As soon as I convert this to dynamic template form for theming, it will go to the master and for next release. Thanks.

Corrected and improved few things and merged.

Thanks, someone has to keep the desktop looking coherent.

Do try the Links. Links is really cool simple x11 web browser that fits nicely with old x11 apps. Only one of it's kind.

sudo apt install links2
sudo dnf install links

You then need to do links(2) -g in a terminal to open the gui mode, or your package manager should have included a shortcut to it.

Hi @tim78245,

There are some concerns about rewriting people's ~/.links/links.cfg:

• people using links are probably highly alergic on programs rewriting their config files, and this file is exactly that in contrast to (mainly) decorative X resources files
• even editing this file with sed would be risky.
• I can maybe make it optional (commented out) part of ~/.NsCDE/colormgr.local - do_links

Here is example how template for processing should look like:

background_color NSCDE_BG_COLOR_6
foreground_color NSCDE_FG_COLOR_6
scroll_bar_area_color NSCDE_SEL_COLOR_5
scroll_bar_bar_color NSCDE_BG_COLOR_5
scroll_bar_frame_color NSCDE_TS_COLOR_5
html_g_background_color NSCDE_BG_COLOR_4
html_g_text_color NSCDE_FG_COLOR_4
html_g_link_color 0x0000ff
html_g_ignore_document_color 1

~/.links/links.cfg can be produced with:

/usr/libexec/NsCDE/palette_colorgen -n 8 -p /usr/share/NsCDE/palettes/Broica.dp -i linkscfg -s -c | sed 's/#/0x/g' > ~/.links/links.cfg

from nscde.

I think since all of the links changes are decorative they should be fine. I doubt people using NsCDE would want their links themed differently than the rest of their system, NsCDE already themes things like terminals and firefox.

Maybe what should happen is there should be an "advanced menu", that when clicked allows one to select which colormgr profiles they want to use (I think the default should be all).
