Re: <SOLVED> Calibre Line spacing

As said here: https://www.codetd.com/en/article/13062026.

Without editing the book itself, just add this in the Calibre reader settings, Preferences - Styles:

Code: Select all

body 
    {

In fact Windows can create a backup image and restore the system from it while booting an installation media. I have just used this feature to transfer a system between two computers and I am looking for a Linux alternative. A windows backup image is not System Restore. A completely different proce...

Re: Remove text from the window decoration in Cinnamon

Perhaps using a different theme will improve your 'happiness'. But according to what I read courtesy of Mother Google, it looks like your best bet is to use a different Desktop Environment.

Re: Remove text from the window decoration in Cinnamon

open a new tab with a different address and you'll see the name appears as the name of the tab. ask mozilla about this not mint. this is not a mint issue. also removing the title bar doesn't remove the information just hides it so people like you don't get annoyed by it. chromium is the same just a...

Remove text from the window decoration in Cinnamon

By default in Mint 20.1 Cinnamon I have too much info on the window decoration. https://i.imgur.com/5blAvcr.png Is there a setting to just show the application name instead of that of the tab etc? https://i.imgur.com/OjNReeJ.png I would prefer just application icon and name in fact, like in many oth...

Re: XFCE: Visual appearance in 19.3 - Icons, themes, panel

I appreciate all the useful explanations and hints. Thank you! I just want to clarify: When upgrading from 19.2 to 19.3 the new kernel series have *not* been installed on my computers. They are still 4.15.* LTS in Linux Mint 19.3. This behavior was also noted by some other users in the comments of ...

In Mint Xfce 19.2, RAM 4GB. I had this problem where a few minutes after last use, Whisker Menu had a lag of about 2 seconds when shortcut was pressed.

Re: changing the preferred or default music player app

There is another way to achieve the same by opening Mime Type Editor.

There, you can filter the list and change the default player by double-clicking.

Re: XFCE: Visual appearance in 19.3 - Icons, themes, panel

The upgrade from 19.2 (Tina) to 19.3 (Tricia) brought the HWE kernel (overriding the LTS kernel) and the HWE xserver components. It looks like you've already tried a bunch of different kernels. I'd recommend sticking with 4.15.0-* LTS kernels. Delete/remove all the others. Also remove the "lin...

Logout and cycling windows menus not themed in 19.3 Xfce

I prefer dark themes and among those Vertex Dark. But no matter what theme I select the same happens: After some update in 19.3 Xfce the Alt-Tab menu as well as the logout menu (Alt-F4 on the desktop) are not themed as supposed to, instead defaulted to Adwaita I imagine. screenshot_3.png screenshot_...
