A small thing I noticed (in the live version) was that the top widget/window bar has gotten smaller than the used fonts.
-- Besides of course that the "left-click"-menu doesn't use the same icon set as the theme ...... but we've already been through that extensively on the first RetroWave release.--
Here's what it looks like on my 3840x2160 screens:
not exactly, this is because your dpi is high (small pixels), the fonts are automatically resized to the best ones for your eyes, but this is not possible on the e16 theme as you know - in short: is doing its work correctly
also the icons and other things are not so optimal... this problem is solved in newer enlightenments
hum... same machine? if so, update elive-tools in .42, crash (restart) your destkop settings, see if it changed... if so, maybe something changed in the default dpi value, likely
also check first the dpi assigned setting changed before and after, or between these versions:
~ ❯❯❯ grep dpi ~/.Xdefaults
Xft.dpi: 134
make also a copy of /usr/bin/elive-scale-desktop to see what changed using "meld" between two of these files, I suspect the default value was different
Only that? So this means this release is just -perfect- ?
Indeed there's a difference:
Xft.dpi is 246 on the .50 machine whereas its 154 on the .42 machine (both at 3840x2160) and 164 in .50 live mode on a similar laptop at 2560x1440 res.
Admittedly the first has a very high (almost unusable) high resolution for an 11" laptop screen .....
Yes, it looks like one of the better releases, in that sense ....... I especially like the clock on the desktop. Fits in very well on RetroWave.
but probably not same dpi then, size doesn't matter for this but dpi (dimension between pixels), you can get the real value from el_dpi_get, that's the thing you need to see
note that this value is not the real dpi (as previously mentioned) but the suggested dpi configuration made by elive (otherwise the real one is too much for some applications, like chrome)
that's perfect for elive tests (comparisons)
This is very good! unfortunately I was not able to release "2 weeks before debian", it doesn't matter... im going to releease it soon anyways, we are not an enterprise or commercial anyways lol, and I have now not only the clock but a really good surprise to come (so yeah, retrowave will include it), which I think it could attract many new users (my actual idea is to provide it only to Premium users, but also from the retrowave version which will include it by default I need to think a little more about this idea
And more good ideas are going to come soon! Elive is going to be now on its best era now, it was in the past, and is going to be more now in the near future
- in short: is doing its work correctly
if so, update elive-tools in .42, crash (restart) your destkop settings, see if it changed... if so, maybe something changed in the default dpi value, likely
