[Bug 505578] Re: Icons etc. disappearing

 

Hello,

Same problem here since way back in time.
For the record;

Nvidia graphics
1920x1080
Arch Linux
Metacity (with and without compositing)

My findings are;

The problem indeed stems from the clearlooks engine window controls (any
theme using the clearlooks engine for controls appears to have the same
issue).

To be more specific, this section of the gtkrc file
(~/.themes/your_theme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc).

        engine "clearlooks" {

                colorize_scrollbar = TRUE

                reliefstyle = 0

                menubarstyle = 0

                toolbarstyle = 1

                animation = TRUE

                radius = 0.0

                style = GUMMY  }

OpenShot will display icons correctly with the above instance. But if we change “toolbarstyle = 1”
 to “toolbarstyle = 0”  the  icons will not be drawn on OpenShot start-up.

Not all themes that use clearlooks (for controls) will have this section
as shown. Some I have seen just use (for example);

        engine "clearlooks" {

		radius = 0.0
  }  
		
Which will again cause problems with icons on start-up (adding the top section of code to this bottom example in the gtkrc file will fix the issue without affecting the theme too much).

I hope my findings help.
Best wishes to the OS team and fellow OS users.

Title:
  Icons etc. disappearing

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When starting OpenShot, some of the icons on the toolbar are missing.
  They can be brought back by placing the mouse over them, or
  (un)maximizing the window. Similarly, this also happens when a pop-up
  window appears.

  Ubuntu 9.10
  OpenShot 1.0.0
