LXQt Mutter fail about fastfetch HOT 12 CLOSED

This is with r318:

I don't know why LXQt is detected as 'LXQt Desktop' here. It shows only LXQt now...

from fastfetch.

What probably happens is following:

• Mutter detection by process fails
• XDG_*_DESKTOP is set as WM, it falls back to process detection for DE
• LXQT detection by process succeeds
• DE is set to LXQT

So we have two issues here:

1. Mutter WM detection
2. Setting the WM to XDG_*_DESKTOP if it contains a known DE

Looking into both, any help appreciated.

You're not checking for mutter in detectWMDE.c - you're checking for 'gnome-session-binary'. Might wanna extend that search if LXQt is running. Parsing session.conf seems the quickest way.
I'm not sure of the default state of that file - Openbox is the default WM for LXQt out of the box though.

from fastfetch.

Yes extending the search is the right way. This will fix issue number one and additional two on setups with known WMs.

Once we fixed issue two we can check if wmPrettyName is empty in getLXQt and parse this file to get the WM if so.

Pushed the fix.

That was quick 😀

Is the WM Theme still right? Currently i simply print the GTK theme for mutter if it is not running in a Gnome session. Is this the correct behavior?

from fastfetch.

Also the output of fastfetch --terminal-font-format {} would be interesting.

from fastfetch.

Yes. The window manager handles the WM themes in LXQt.

Seems to be the old format.

Thanks i was just wondering if the font is just named Monospace (which is a bad name for a font tbh because it also is a font type) or if i am cutting something important of.

from fastfetch.

The font name is a substitution. It's really 'Deja Vu Sans Mono Book 10'
Fontconfig stuff I don't know that much about. :)
