why don't client-side decorations appear in font-manager in Debian. about font-manager

[JerryCasiano]

That screenshot you posted is using client side decorations. The only difference I see is theming.

If you disable the option in preferences you'll see the difference.

As far as why the screenshot on the homepage looks slightly different, it because I updated those recently and used the testing branch for those screenshots.

As far as roadmap. What exactly are you interested in?

I have a lot on my to-do list and we're still quite a ways from 1.0 so it's pretty open at this point. Anything and everything could change.

That's the thing. I click on Preferences and pretty much nothing happens.

Although doing this I did manage to get this fatal error, maybe this explains things -

$ font-manager
[FATAL 05:33:15] Archive Manager : GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.ArchiveManager1 was not provided by any .service files
[FATAL 05:33:15] Font Manager will not function properly.

aha.

Currently getting the look fixed up is the top-priority :)

That error just means the package was compiled with support for using file-roller to handle archives but file-roller is either not installed or failed to start. It has nothing with the look of the program.

Sorry, but I don't see anything wrong from the screenshot you posted.

I don't currently have a Debian system to test on so I'll leave this open in case other users have the same issue.

Oh, can you please post details about your installation so I can at least try to reproduce in a VM?

i.e. OS, version, package selection, etc.

Thanks.

FWIW, I have downstreamed the bug-report as well, bugs.debian.org/909627

From what you shared file-roller should be in depends , not suggests although the package has file-roller: /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.FileRoller.ArchiveManager1.service while the application at your end talks about org.gnome.ArchiveManager1.service, no FileRoller in-between :(

Alright, that sounds good to me.
