*OLD-THREAD - SEE NEW* [Unofficial] Deluge 2.0.x installer

[shamael]

I just want to thx mhertz and all involved people for the efforts done !

[mhertz]

Thank you my friend, I much appreciate you posting that, and for sure big thanks to every deluge dev, past and present and everyone else that's helping out.

I have added a little python code to set an extra environment-variable(GTK_CSD=0) only for the session, which makes the titlebar look more win10-like, instead of the current win7-look. It's just a single file, and so untill I make updated installers next time(and I haven't even decided if I actually want this included or not yet), then you can change the file out yourself if wanted.

Backup file first if wanting to revert back again, and then replace unzipped file with: '%programfiles%\Deluge2\Lib\site-packages\path.pth'.

Note, as the titelbar with that file gets white, then the whole deluge2 window seems even more white, so if not liking that and not having anything against the current blue win7-themed titelbar, then don't use this file. I'm still unsure about if I should include it or not, the next time I update the installers, as it's imho "prettier" the old way, though just not very complimentary to win10 as a whole, but dunno. Hmm, I think actually I'll decline adding it in, and so either add it yourself with the attached file lowest down, or, alternatively, you could also just add the env-var to your system yourself if wanted.

I've sreenshot'ed the old and new look to compare before wasting time with it in vein:

I wanted to update the installers to latest python version, as the version from Cas's install instructions, and my installers, where v3.6.8, soon a year old. However, when rebuilding pygobject, which I needed as no wheel available anywhere online for latest python, then I got an error which many online encountered also, and without any real solution for it. So, I decided upon the python version just before the newest, as that worked, even though I still had to manually rebuild both libtorrent versions, and hunt down and add an additional patch to boost etc, but I got it working. The python I used was released last month, only one day between the most recent version.

I added the 4 updated installers to first page of thread, but kept the old installers just in case.

Note, I once had a python error when testing the installers, but I had installed several installers after eachother with different libtorrent versions, so I think deluge got confused somehow over the changed libtorrent version, and the error went away when deleting the profile-folder and starting new.

Updated, so far no issues.

[mhertz]

Thanks for reporting mate.

Sweet patch mhertz. I'd like to add that with custom Windows 10 colors, the title bar is dark cyan for me (kinda like solarized) and fits in with the deluge gray very nicely.

Are there any other tricks to make GTK play nice with Windows? It never remembers how I resized the components if I close and start the application for instance.

[mhertz]

Thanks psisis, I wasn't thinking about the white titelbar on my end is because I have light theme enabled as per default in my win10.1903 VM, so I think I'll include that tweak next time I rebuild installers, so it will look native on both win10 and win7.

Sorry I don't know of any tricks to better the "remembering of resized elements" - I have seen it reported before, but didn't experience it myself in quick tests I.e I resized sidebar and the bottom bar and which was remembered on restarts, and I have before tested enabling extra status elements for the torrents and resized a couple of them which also was remembered, so I don't really see it on my end myself on such short quick testings.

Btw, what's the max cache size deluge supports these days?

[mhertz]

Cache can also be set with ltconfig plugin, which I believe takes precedence, but not 100% sure of this though.

Deluge supports entering max '999999', so 15,25 GiB roughly, and checking libtorrent documentaion for 'cache_size' setting, doesn't mention any max limit on that value either, except if using 32bit, so unrelated to us then.

@all, If ever getting a python error right when starting deluge, after having updated with another installer, then that can be fixed by stopping deluge and deleting following file and starting deluge again:

"C:\Users\<NAME>\AppData\Roaming\Deluge\session.state"

This file doesn't hold your torrents, so you won't loose them by this(they are in states folder). Also, there are a session.state.bak file in that folder also btw.

I saw this also was reported by others previously on older deluge versions than v2.0.
