Proper uninstaller? How to uninstall?

Open dotjax opened this issue 5 years ago • 9 comments

How would one go about undoing the installer.py script? There should be a script to uninstall Chicago95 and a way to clearly remove all components. Just a suggestion.

You'll have to manually remove the theme from ~/.themes, ~/.icons, and ~/.local/share/sounds if you installed the sound theme.

Don't forget to reset the xfconf sound theme property too if you installed the sound theme.

xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/SoundThemeName -r

Also if you copied over the GTK3 override, then don't forget to remove it too.

rm ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

If you copied over the GTK Overlay Scrollbars .xsessionrc override then you can also remove that.

rm ~/.xsessionrc

If you installed the terminal colour scheme, you can remove it too.

rm ~/.local/share/xfce4/terminal/colorschemes/Chicago95.theme
rm ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/Chicago95.zsh-theme

If you added the bash prompt to your .bashrc or .zshrc you can remove the lines that contain the contents seen in the Extras/DOSrc and Extras/ZSHDOSrc file.

This is a good suggestion and I should probably make an 'uninstaller' for anyone using the installer.

Once this is done, I would suggest to run that very uninstaller automatically at the beginning of the installer to prevent migration problems like #220.

Besides, how would an uninstaller properly clean up? The .config gtk.css might very well also be user-defined and not related to Chicago95, so is simply deleting it a good idea? (and it also changes over time)

It'd probably be best to have the installer copy the original gtk.css as gtk.css.old and then move it back when the uninstall is complete. It shouldn't be hard to do.

Not sure if Python or Bash would be the best choice for this or if anything would require superuser privileges.

The uninstaller should also remove the fonts from ~/.fonts.

If you wanna remove the legend which appears when you start the terminal just edit the bash source

gedit .bashrc

And then scroll down till the last code line and delete the section of echos
