Is anybody having the same problems as I am with the 'appearance' module. When I click on change background from the desktop menu or via the appearance button in the menu, I get nothing or the window spread lengthways across the screen in a narrow box. All the backgrounds are lined up horiziotal with no scroll bar either up or down. Most of the time it won't load at all. I am running Nvidia with compiz. Everything else is working well....... fonts still a little hazy even with the suggested fixes. Better but not a patch or M10.
Getting to like LMDE but there are a couple of issues that need attending to for mine. (Appearance module plus the font rendering not good enough yet). Very quick. Even running some stuff that's setup for M10; seems to work OK on LMDE. Nothing broken yet.

Have you tried turning Compiz off and then attempting your desktop changes? Compiz has been know to have issues.

Re: Background / theme changer not functioning
or did you perchance try what was in the first post of the fix your font-rendering (or something along the lines) posting?
Because that caused the same problem for me but just a couple of postings down is a fix.
Also the font-fix in the beginning is still for the 201009 release and should be unnecessary now

Re: Background / theme changer not functioning
Thanks Man. That was the problem. Ran the code and all is now well. Font rendering is still not quite up to standard though. Happy again. I will continue to play.gotjazz wrote:or did you perchance try what was in the first post of the fix your font-rendering (or something along the lines) posting?
