Como estoy comentando estos días, estamos ante un nuevo lanzamiento masivo de actualizaciones de las aplicaciones KDE, en esta ocasión en pleno mes de agosto, con el que los desarrolladores de la Comunidad KDE siguen mostrando al mundo que tienen claro que su objetivo es ofrecer los mejor del Software Libre para todos de forma continua, constante y sin cambios revolucionarios. Finalizo la serie con el mix de novedades de KDE Gear 21.08, siguiendo la estela de las novedades de Dolphin, de Okular , de Konsole o de Gwenview de días anteriores.

Mix de novedades de KDE Gear 21.08

Son decenas, sino más de una centenar, las aplicaciones del ecosistema KDE, siempre en continua evolución, buscando adaptarse a los usuarios.

Muchas de estas aplicaciones tienen actualizaciones menores en cada cambio de numeración, otras tienen grandes novedades, de las cuales ya hemos hablado, y otras, como las que nos ocupan en la entrada de hoy, simplemente incorporan una mejora que merezca la pena destacar, como vamos a hacer en esta entrada:

• Elisa, un reproductor de audio de KDE, recuerda ahora la pista y el momento exacto de reproducción al reanudar una lista de ídem.
• Spectacle ahora permite ahora hacer capturas de la ventana que esté debajo del cursor pulsando la combinación de teclas Meta (Windows) + Ctrl + Imprimir. Spectacle también es más rápido y más fiable en Wayland y las opciones sobre qué copiar tras hacer una captura se han simplificado.
• Kate adquiere una nueva funcionalidad: Fragmentos. Los fragmentos son útiles plantillas de porciones de código que puede soltar en sus proyectos cuando mientras esté programando.
• Kdenlive, el software multipropósito de edición de vídeo de KDE, ha migrado a MLT 7. Esto significa que puede esperar nuevas funcionalidades en las funciones existentes, como cambiar la velocidad de un clip, que ahora es un efecto de los fotogramas clave.
• KDE Connect permite que dos o más dispositivos (como el teléfono y el portátil) se comuniquen fácilmente entre sí y puedan compartir archivos y recursos.
• Yakuake , un emulador de terminal (como Konsole) que reside en la parte superior de la pantalla, ahora permite cambiar de un panel al siguiente usando [Ctrl] + [Tabulador].
• Ark ahora muestra una pantalla de bienvenida cuando se abre sin un archivo comprimido y puede descomprimir archivos ZIP con barras inversas al estilo de Windows que se usan como separadores de rutas.

Y con esto finalizamos el resumen de KDE Gear 21.08 espero que os haya gustado.. y ahora a actualizar, probar y esperar a las novedades de septiembre.

When light theme and dark theme are turned on at the same time, the IBus theme will automatically follow GNOME Night Light mode, use light theme when off, and use dark theme when on. When only the light theme or dark theme is turned on, the IBus theme will always use the theme that is turned on.

If not for debugging, please DO NOT add any classes that’s not started with .candidate-* into IBus stylesheet to prevent from corrupting system themes.

If your IBus style sheet has changed after application, please close and reopen the corresponding custom IME theme to make it effective. Starting from v69, now this extension support stylesheets hot reload, CSS changes will reflect in real-time.

You can download more GNOME Shell themes from this website: https://www.pling.com/s/Gnome/browse/cat/134/order/latest/, then put it under the $HOME/.themes/ directory to complete the installation.

The IBus theme tool style sheet generation uses the GNOME Shell theme that has been installed on the computer to extract the IBus style. The extraction steps are as follows:

1. Refer to the following part: Non-GNOME Desktop -> Customize IBus Theme steps 1-2 to run the program.
2. Enter the number of the IBus-related GNOME Shell theme style you want to export, and press Enter.
3. Enter the location of the GNOME Shell theme style sheet exported related to IBus that you want to store, and press Enter. Empty selection will be the default, that is in the current directory exportedIBusTheme.css file. If there is no error message, it will be successfully exported to the specified location.

You can also go directly to the IBus Theme Hub and download specialized made IBus theme style sheet file. Here are the IBus theme style sheet files with Microsoft IME style: https://github.com/openSUSE/IBus-Theme-Hub/tree/main/%E4%BB%BF%E5%BE%AE%E8%BD%AFMicrosoft

Background

Support customizing your IBus Input window background with a picture. It has a higher priority than the theme-defined background.

If you have selected a picture, click the icon on the far right to directly open and view the picture. You can also click the clear icon to make it follow theme background.

When light background and dark background are turned on at the same time, the IBus background will automatically follow GNOME Night Light mode, use light background when off, and use dark background when on. When only the light background or dark background is turned on, the IBus background will always use the background that is turned on.

Please make sure your background picture can always be visited. If your pictures are stored in the removable device and the system doesn’t mount it by default, please disable and then enable the corresponding Use custom background again to make it effective after manually mounting.

Same as the general part, select the check box on the left to enable the configuration, and click on the right to select the background image of the IBus input candidate box.

You can also set the background picture display mode, you can set whether the background picture is displayed repeatedly, or the display mode Centered, Full or Zoom.

Examples of various picture display modes (using 128×128 compressed pictures: https://github.com/openSUSE/Customize-IBus/blob/main/customize-ibus%40hollowman.ml/img/logo.png ):

• Centered + No repeat:

Settings

Here you can reset the settings of this extension to default. You can also export current settings to an ini file for backup, and then import it when you need restore. For your information, you may also open the official IBus customization settings for customizations you can’t find in this extension.

Click Restore Default Settings, after confirming, you can re-initialize the extension.

Click Export Current Settings, you can choose to export the current settings as a *.inifile. The default file name is Customize_IBus_Settings_[Current Time].ini:

Non-GNOME desktop

Customize IBus theme

In non-GNOME Shell desktop environment, the display effect of IBus is determined by the current GTK theme.

You can download more GTK3/4 themes from this website: https://www.gnome-look.org/browse/cat/135/, then put them in the $HOME/.themes/ directory to complete the installation.

The following steps can change the GTK theme of IBus:

1. First, Install ibus-theme-tools:

Recommend to use pip to install:

pip install ibus-theme-tools

You can also install manually:

git clone https://github.com/openSUSE/IBus-Theme-Tools.git
cd IBus-Theme-Tools && python3 setup.py install

For install using package manager:

• Arch Linux:

You can use AUR to install:

yay -S ibus-theme-tools

• Ubuntu:

You can use PPA to install:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hollowman86/ibus-theme-tools
sudo apt-get update

• openSUSE:

You can install directly through the ymp file.

You can download the majority of your Linux distributions related packages through OpenSUSE OBS and then install.

• Gentoo:

git clone https://github.com/openSUSE/IBus-Theme-Tools.git
cd IBus-Theme-Tools && make emerge

• NixOS:

sudo nix-env -i ibus-theme-tools

• Guix:

guix install ibus-theme-tools

2. Then run ibus-theme-tools in the terminal.
3. Enter 1, choose to extract an IBus-related GTK theme, and press Enter.
4. Enter the IBus GTK theme you want to extract, and then press Enter. (Note that the theme name ends with :dark is the dark mode of the theme)
5. Enter the system GTK you want to mix, and then press Enter.
6. Select whether to add a customized background image for IBus panel, if you need press 2 and then press Enter.
7. Enter the picture address：
8. Then choose repeat and sizing modes, and set background border radius (unit: px).
9. If there is no error message, the setting action should be successful. Then you can choose the GTK theme that just generated in the system theme settings to apply the previous choices.

Customize IBus font size

Recommend to directly change the font and font size settings in the IBus preferences (ibus-setup).

Or:

$HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini defines the current GTK3 theme and font size.

Example of the content of the file is as follows:

[Settings]
gtk-theme-name=Materia-light
gtk-font-name=更纱黑体 SC 12

In the above content, gtk-theme-name specifies that the current GTK theme is material-light, gtk-font-name specifies that the current font is 更纱黑体 SC and the font size is 12.

The IBus font and font size can be changed by modifying the above documents.

Customize IBus colors (Create a GTK theme)

Create a GTK3 theme called ibus-custom-theme by running:

mkdir -p $HOME/.themes/ibus-custom-theme/gtk-3.0
$EDITOR $HOME/.themes/ibus-custom-theme/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

then edit the file content. An example can be:

* {
  color: #0b141a; /* Font Color */
  background-color: #ffffff; /* Background Color */
  -gtk-secondary-caret-color: #d4d4d4; /* Highlight Background Color */
}

After that, referring to the actions of the Customize IBus theme part, please select the theme ibus-custom-theme which you just created.

Blog Posted on openSUSE News about the Project

Project Introduction

IBus Customize @openSUSE by Songlin Jiang (@HollowMan6)

Before GSoC 2021, the IBus theme follows the global GNOME-Shell theme in GNOME and the global GTK theme in other desktop environments, and IBus lacks customization for users in GNOME.

Main Focus

This project aims to make IBus themes separate from the current GNOME-Shell theme and GTK theme so that users can customize it with other GNOME-Shell themes and GTK themes.

Other Goals

Improve the UI usability for IBus in GNOME. That is, to add more features, including customization of orientation, animation, font, opacity. Support right-click to switch the input source or open the tray menu, scroll to switch among pages or candidates, fix candidate box and IME switch list order, ASCII mode auto-switch, reposition, show or hide candidate box page buttons, set system tray settings, input source indicator with settings. Theme and background picture follow GNOME Night Light Mode, and so on. These customizations will make users find IBus in GNOME familiar if they have just switched from another platform. Eventually, an extension providing full customization of appearance, behavior, system tray, input source indicator for IBus will be available.

El ecosistema de aplicaciones de la Comunidad KDE está bien surtido. Tenemos de todo tipo: ligeras, potentes, rápidas, profesionales, etc.

No obstante, una de las más utilizadas es Gwnview ya que combina rapidez con funcionalidades de forma muy efectiva.

Y, como no puede ser de otra manera, Gwenview no para de mejorar gracias al trabajo constante de los desarrolladores de la Comunidad KDE. De esta forma en este KDE Gear 21,08, esta aplicación nos ofrece las siguientes novedades:

• Cambio de diseño y apariencia que le confiere más rapidez y velocidad.
• Nuevos controles compactos en la esquina inferior derecha de la aplicación. Concretamente:
  • Selector de ampliación/tamaño que usa un menú emergente
  • Selector de colores para el área de visualización de Gwenview
• Adoptado completamente el KHamburger del mismo modo que Dolphin: ahora se puede acceder a todas las opciones de Gwenview desde el menú desplegable situado en la esquina superior derecha de la aplicación.
• Mejoras en el manejo de imágenes mediante teclado tanto para las vistas previas como en el control de vídeos.
• Posibilidad de mostrar imágenes con color de 16 bits y puede leer información de perfiles de color de JPEG y PNG.

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Dominique has been enjoying a vacation these last two weeks and left Tumbleweed in my hands. It’s been quite an interesting fortnight.

These two weeks have only seen 3 snapshots released, numbered 0807, 0810 and 0817. Snapshots 0811, 0812, 0816 and 0818 were all produced but discarded for a number of reasons including:

• DVD ISO grew too big (twice!)
• Random vim build failure produced an amusingly broken snapshot
• And probably a few other bits and pieces I’m forgetting now

Plus on a personal note this was the fortnight I moved house so I wasn’t able to fix all the issues as fast as normal when they came up. Thanks for everyone’s patience and understanding

The changes delivered these weeks included:

• kernel 5.13.8
• KDE Gear 21.08
• apparmor 3.0.3
• vim 8.2.3318
• And lots of other miscellaneous fixes

The future, near or far, will bring those updates:

• kernel 5.13.12 (Currently being tested in 0819)
• systemd v249.2
• nodejs 16.6.2
• glibc 2.34
• podman & crio with crun enabled by default
• and many more…

Have a lot of fun!

– Richard

A lot of work this week has been taking place in the background to release openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshots.

Documented on the mailing list in the latest openSUSE release engineering meeting was information about some challenges Tumbleweed development had this week building images with the Open Build Service. There were some build failures, which caused some broken builds. These builds aren’t released as a snapshot since these must pass openSUSE’s openQA testing. The size of the ISO media also became too large to fit on a DVD; adjustments are made frequently when the capacity exceeds the size, so let’s get into the snapshot that was released.

The efforts to build, test and release a successful snapshot did come with the release of snapshot 20210817. Users received some much anticipated software with some really cool new features. KDE Gear 21.08.0 was among the many packages for rolling release users. The Dolphin file manager now shows an animated sequence of previews for folders containing a lot of previewable files. Its preview code has also been optimized so thumbnails pop up faster and files inside encrypted locations, such as Plasma Vaults, can show a preview. The PDF viewer Okular made some enhancements in the toolbar that allows for a color design to make reading more comfortable and to help avoid eye-strain. The Konsole terminal offers a preview feature from the command line when hovering the cursor over image filenames. Enhancements were also made for the Gwenview image viewer and the Elsa music player. KDE Frameworks 5.85.0 also came in the snapshot. The developer user interface Kirigami corrected some spacing between the close button and action buttons. It also added a method to push a page as a new window on the desktop. Optimizations for the network mounting performance were made to the KTextEditor and KWayland fixed a check for an mmap system call failure. AppStream, which is a package that provides a standard for creating app stores across distributions, updated to version 0.14.4 and improved text line wrapping. Mozilla Thunderbird 78.13.0 fixed a half dozen Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures; three of those involved fixes for possible memory corruption. Better native Wayland support for handling client-side decorations and other functionality were made to the update of media SDL2 2.0.16. The first major 1.0.0 version for firewalld was released in the snapshot; the dynamically managed firewall reduced dependencies, cleaned the spec file and deprecated the iptables backend. Vector graphics editor inkscape advanced a few minor versions to 1.1 and added a Welcome dialog where the look of Inkscape can be selected and some choices for the new document size or file to open are available. And when pasting a copied object, Inkscape now pastes it directly on top of the currently selected object by default. There is a list of several more packages that updated in the snapshot. Among some of those packages update were apparmor 3.0.3, ipset 7.15, nodejs16 16.6.2, openvpn 2.5.3, vim 8.2.3318, pipewire 0.3.33 and yast2-users 4.4.6, which made an update to allow for the editing of the name of an existing user and another update to remove the password of an existing user.

openqa-cli is a command-line utility for interacting with openQA. The tool is versatile and allows you to control and interact with an arbitrary openQA instance from the comfort of your command line. While the internal help is quiet comprehensive, I list some of the most basic tasks in the form of a tutorial or knowledge base here.
