[SOLVED] Firefox tooltips and dropdown menus deprecated

holden87 · 06-19-2014, 02:04 PM

Hi!

Well, in qtcurve my firefox 24 esr menus in slackware are deprecated. they are either completely flat, or they pull images of icons on screen. See screenshot:

As you can see on the right, it shows an icon of some sort in a deprecated menu. Any way i can get normal menus?

I have installed qtcurve-gtk and kde-gtk.

Hi:

I am now familiar with the widgets that qtcurve has.
Give it a little time and other Slackware members will most likely chime in.

The current version of Firefox is:

Code:

mozilla-firefox-30.0

You might want to upgrade to the newest version.
Using an old browser is a risk.

Actually, that's an issue all over the GTK apps. Don't understand what could be wrong :/

Maybe KDE and gtk isn't playing nice with qtcurve?
Could be a rendering issue but I'm not sure.

Solved. The qtcurve-gtk2 default slackbuild is 1.8.15, but these issues have been fixed in 1.8.16.

What you need to do is visit the slackbuild maintainer's site: http://craigd.wikispaces.com/ - and download the 1.8.16 version. Then you nano the SlackBuild, and change only the version number from 1.8.15 to 1.8.16, and proceed normally as with any other slackbuild. It works perfectly.

Marked as solved.

Thanks for providing that info. I have had similar issues while using kwin in gnome2, and Xfce4. I thought it was a gtk2 bug, but now you've cleared that up for me.
