Bug ID: 401644 Summary: Certain Plasmoid textual elements have poor legibility when used with transparent themes Product: plasmashell Version: master Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: minor Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk Reporter: tyx...@gmail.com CC: plasma-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: 1.0 SUMMARY Currently using fairly transparent themes can be troublesome because some plasmoid textual elements have poor legibility. The problem is present in pretty much all of the plasmoids. As exemplified in the case of Kickoff's menu item subtitles, the code sets the opacity at 60% when inactive and 80% when active, which is the cause of the legibility problems. IMO a better solution would be e.g. to call upon the "inactive text" class color (although this value in Breeze would need adjusting, Breeze Dark is fine). OBSERVED RESULT See screenshot: https://i.redd.it/4np7y2i3w4021.png Some plasmoids' text when using transparent's themes is not legible when the plasmoid is superimposed over a lighter background. EXPECTED RESULT See screenshot when calling upon inactive text color of Breeze Dark: https://i.ibb.co/Wsd5RvC/Screenshot-20181202-105714.png Text is legible. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I would be thrilled to do work related to this myself and implement any kind of suggestions from more experienced people, but I'd need to know if it would be up for consideration when reviewed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
