Hello,
i am using Manjaro Xfce and after the [Stable Update] 2025-02-04 there is a strange problem, which i can not solve.
It is a little bit hard to explain.
Some programs (i think it is only in connection with qt5) like smplayer, vlc-player or the Qt5-Configurator have an layout problem. The components on the bottom of the windows slipping under the bottom border from the windows if the windows will be stretched.
Has anybody an idea?
Yours sincerely
Hans Mueller
Welcome,
What I see from your pictures, it hasn’t worked before.
…yes, configure your theme correct. I haven’t installed a fresh xfce for a while, mine is working fine,
but I’m pretty shure the default theme is set to matcha, icons are papyrus, yours looks like the fallback-theme.
Your qt5ct is unconfigured, cleanlooks doesn’t even exist in kvantum-manager (have you ever had a look at it?).
What theme do you try to use? Many pictures, but no info.
~/.profile is no longer sourced, you have to do it yourself, i.e. in ~/.bash_profile.#
# ~/.bash_profile
#
[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc
[[ -f ~/.profile ]] && . ~/.profile
…please follow the update announcements
The wiki enty itself seems fine; though, perhaps it could have a reminder to reboot after editing ~/.profile.
This is because ~/.profile is only read once at login, so a reboot (or re-login) is needed.
After login, the content of ~/.profile needs to be sourced by ~/.bash_profile if it’s to be made available when a shell is started.
[[ -f ~/.profile ]] && . ~/.profile
I seem to recall having to manually add the line myself to ~/.bash_profile (for a reason that escapes me as I type).
I’m not certain that ~/.profile absolutely must be sourced unless there’s a specific reason to do so, or for that matter, whether the line has even been included (or needed) by default for quite some time.
Any clarification is welcome. @mods
No.
That is exactly what I’m talking about!
There was a change about this subject some time ago. See here and here.
The last paragraph of the wiki entry is not working, unless you source the ~/.profile to i.e. ~/bash_profile (yes, there are other ways, but this is a seperate story).
It’s easy enough to add it manually, but I agree, it should likely be mentioned on the page. Hopefully one of our Wiki Editors can have a look at this soon(ish).
Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
Regards.
… only if they are aware about this, most if not all new users are not.
The Wiki has been updated to reflect the edit to ~/.bash_profile, in those cases where it may be necessary:
Regards.
Hello,
thank you for your help.
After i added the line
[[ -f ~/.profile ]] && . ~/.profile
in ~/.bash_profile and restarted the pc the layout of the control elements is now ok again.
No, all the pictures where made after the update.
And even in the pictures with the small windows the elements at the bottom are not displayed/layouted correct. But in the stretched (or maximized) windows it is more obviously.
But now it is working correctly. 
Thank you again.
Yours sincerely
Hans Mueller
