Plasma GUI fonts borked
by Patrick O'Callaghan 08 Jul '18

I was fooling around with the Settings panel and must have done something I shouldn't, because now the fonts for KDE apps are all wrong. GTK apps are unaffected. I enclose a small screenshot to illustrate. Note that the left-hand side looks fine, while the right- hand side is clearly wrong. The same fuzziness affects the Plasma panel and the Konsole fonts. I've no recollection of touching the font configuration, but I guess anything is possible. How can I restore sanity? poc

usability "spectacle" compared to "ksnapshot"

in ksnapshot when you selected a rectangle and after the snapshot said "new screenshot" by default the same rectangle was kept which is great when you produce a step-by-step howto, now you need to select again and again by hand also the delay "on click" makes no sense for a rectangle but disable it makes "window behind the pointer" useless given that it's an optical clone of ksnapshot why didn't the developers care about usability?

KDE session scripts
by Patrick O'Callaghan 06 Jul '18

I found a Python script (I think on Github, but I can't seem to locate the URL or the original author) that saves or restores the desktop location of each open Firefox window*. It does this by calling wmctrl(1) and storing/loading the location as a JSON data structure. The data structure is indexed by the window title, but Firefox changes the title based on the currently active tab in each window. Thus the saved data will depend on which tab happens to be active in each window. The script already works when called manually but I just want to automate the process when I log in or out of KDE. The Save script has to run *after* Plasma starts and all my windows are already created. According to the KDE manual, this seems to rule out Autostart. The Restore script should run just before killing any running windows. It should also work even if I reboot directly from the KDE Leave tab without logging out. Is this possible? poc * It would be trivial to modify the script for other apps.
