YaST and other issues after upgrading to 13.2

Hello everyone,

After a fairly uneventful upgrade from 13.1 to 13.2, I am having a few minor issues and maybe someone can help. May biggest problem is YaST2, which refuses to follow the theme of the rest of KDE, as shown this screenshot:

Dolphin is shown as a reference, the theme is Fry & Leela and I have been using it for ages. I have also changed the theme for the administrator as well so that I have the same appearance for YaST from my main user. I also have removed openSUSE’s YaST branding because it’s not compatible with the theme (white text disappears etc). Annoyingly, whenever I add or remove packages, YaST tries to pull the branding package back in and I had to taboo it. This is actually more aggravating than YaST’s appearance, which I don’t really mind.

A bigger problem is that whenever a YaST window is opened, my main monitor (out of two) flickers a couple of times. This happens whether desktop effects are active or not and for root as well as my user and for any of YaST’s modules. Before I post a bug I would like to confirm whether anyone else seems to have that problem, I am using an ATI 4870 with the Radeon driver.

Also, can someone tell me how to remove the network manager icon from the tray? I am using wicked, this is a box with an ethernet cable and I have no reason to use networkmanager (unless it eventually becomes the main network management tool).

Thank you very much!

The Yast2 theme is frustrating, isn’t it? I just started a thread about it here, before I saw this thread.

You can remove tray icons through the system tray settings. Right-click on the arrow that expands the hidden icons and click on “Settings…”. In the first section, you can uncheck the network management plasmoid and it will be removed from your tray. If you just want to hide it, you go to the second section and change its visibility setting to “always hidden.”

You may get more answers to your questions if you start individual threads. You may get better answers for KDE-specific questions if you ask them in the KDE forums. At least that’s what I would do.
