NsCDE blinking vim document - xterm

[qinohe]

I want to have clear FVWM framework is not the problem!

In another thread, I have suggested adding a warning message when changing the color palette because the default “Apply” changes all user settings. Also, there is an unrepairable case when selecting two of the same colors. It doesn’t generate 8 but 7 colors. Everything becomes grey.

Have read that in nscde-releases-changes-and-announcements.
Also, ‘NsCDE’ has updated that thread 2 days ago (had not read it until now) and says:

@NsCDE

There is some race or override problems with MenuStyle directives. Instead ov ~/.NsCDE/Style.fvwmlocal, please use ~/.NsCDE/Style.override for custom MenuStyle directives.

Well, I’m not that deep into NsCDE but I think part of the problem is the adoption of env files in the NsCDE theme. Using all these ‘extra’ files ‘*.local’ is necessary but add a lot of complexity not only for the user but I bet also for the dev - NsCDE! If I had an answer to that I would have done a PR but I don’t…

@rasat

The only solution is to delete /.NsCDE and reinstall.

This is a problem I don’t have because all my edits are done in a profile from which I build an ISO. I’m thinking about a solution for that setup which will probably be scripted.
