Just annotations of little "how to's", so I know I can find how to do something I've already done when I need to do it again, in case I don't remember anymore, which is not unlikely. Hopefully they can be useful to others, but I can't guarantee that it will work, or that it won't even make things worse.

Upgrading Debian 10 to Debian 11, three annoyances and a solution for one of them

Posted 09-06-2021 at 12:04 PM by the dsc (linux-related notes)

The good thing I've found is how to get away with GTK3's "animations," which make the UI render somewhat visibly slower even in other aspects (like browsing Geeqie's images), despite xorg.conf settings that give me the best performance, as assessed by gtkperf.

Code:

# gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations false
gtk-enable-animations=0

Getting rid of " ERROR: ld.so: object 'libgtk3-nocsd.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored"

Apparently I got rid of this message popping up every now and then on some scripts (calling things like hsetroot, feh, I'm not sure which triggered it, but I'm almost certain it wasn't a single thing) by installing a somewhat "hidden" i386 package on Debian:

Code:
sudo apt-get install libgtk3-nocsd0:i386
I saw about it here:

Autostart script method to fix the GTK3 scroll-warp feature-bug

Posted 09-27-2016 at 07:41 PM by the dsc (linux-related notes)
Updated 09-27-2016 at 07:44 PM by the dsc

I'm not aware of there being something like a "gtk-3.0-settings.d" to preserve settings.ini options between theme changes (including involuntary ones), so that's a work-around method, adding that to the session auto-start script:

Code:
! grep warps-slider $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini && echo "gtk-primary-button-warps-slider = false" >> $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
But that of course only works after a new login (not mentioning...

[UPDATED] Fix some GTK3 new bugs/"features" with a few simple configurations

"Legacy scrolling". Back then clicking on the scroll bar meant to go about a page up or down, not that you magically know the exact content that is at that absolute point. Also "remove overlay scroll indicators", so the scroll bar is always visible and occupies a definite space, instead of sometimes overlapping content and making it harder to click, as the overlay pops up.

There's a "compact" version of the Adwaita GTK3 theme

Just spreading the word, perhaps there are many other people who prefer things more tightly packed rather than all spaced out, as it seems to be the current mobile-UI infection/trend.
