Call for testers, Jade desktop

I tested Manjaro webdad 20.2 unstable in Virtualbox. That worked. I got it installed, but after the boot screen I only get a black screen. Bummer.

Can you post Xorg log so I can have look.

Great work so far! Absolutely loving it so far. I have noticed a couple things however.

  1. Multi-Monitor Support. lxrandr does not like my triple monitor setup at all haha. I get some pretty crazy wallpaper distortions when moving the location (on left, on right, etc) of my monitors. I have one that I absolutely cannot move so I have to move my cursor across two monitors to reach. Iā€™m sure I can tweak this and get it working properly, or just use a different tool instead of lxrandr.

  2. Wallpapering. For some reason I cannot get a wallpaper to apply to anything other than the default display. It would also be a ā€œnice to haveā€ to move the settings fly-out to a different display while maintaining the default display.

  3. This one may just be something Iā€™m missing as I didnā€™t look for the solution super hard, but Iā€™d like to disable the application fly out when the mouse reaches the top border or more hopefully disable the mouse boundary and have it set to a keybind. I accidently trigger that flyout so often.

Other than the monitor location issue and wallpaper issues this feels really good to use, Iā€™m very much enjoying it.

Try to install xf86-video-vesa, xf86-video-fbdev or xf86-video-vmware, let me know which one is missing and I will add it to the image.

1 - Did you update? I have added multi-monitor support but only tested dual screen.

2 - wallpaper needs a fix as it will be bounded to the window manager instead of the application.

3 - I think I will be removing that in the future as it is a bit annoying the way is done now.

You can give them a different class name, using JavaScript or use nth-child selector.

Yeah I should be fully current. ISO was downloaded last night. I noticed a similar issue on another forum post with peppermint OS and lxrandr. The issue is I have three displays, dvi0, dv1, and hdmi0 (i think that was the naming convention). One has the position set to default and the option is greyed out. The other two I can adjust and move. I just canā€™t adjust the one thatā€™s locked therefore I canā€™t get the positioning right. All in all itā€™s not that big of a deal, just an annoyance.

Not sure if youā€™re super interested, but I ended up finding a resolution for my monitor issues. I ended up installing arandr and saving a screen configuration and having that apply on startup. This worked perfectly other than borking wallpapers and positioning for the search placement and application flyout. Which I kinda expect to happen to a degree. Iā€™m wondering if I can find a way to adapt the saved screen configuration from arandr and apply it to lxrandr. It seems like the application flyout and search function positions are dictated by the lxrandr configuration, so editing that directly will probably give me better results.

validity of what I did so that it did not work

VMWARE0405 is installed and working. I got it working by resizing the window I think. I think a large resolution is too much for it maybeā€¦

What I found is that when I start Jade in text-mode then login and startx it does not show the bottom program shortcuts, incl. the menu:

It does show them when I startup normally.

Its not designed to run with startx.

You most likely need to look on archwiki on how to configure xrandr for triple monitor.

I am always happy to help, but i would like very much for people to provide feedback and bug reports instead of software modifications, if something does not work then reading the documentation can help you overcome some coding difficulties.

@eweee Usually the best way of doing things like this is to open the UI inspector under dev tools and play with the code live until it works, then when you are ready create a file in /home/username/.config/jade/theme/style.css

That way your changes wonā€™t get overridden by any updates.

Victor Is stable now? Can i use it for work? Or Is not ready and Need wait.

Has anyone tried to use Jade on ARM? I was thinking I might try this out on my pinebook pro.
