I agree completely, that's why I suggested themes be able to specify whether they want it or not (and whether it is embossed or recessed). That way you can focus your attention on getting it working well for the default themes, and in the rare cases where it makes things worse the responsibility is on the theme developer to disable it. For legacy themes I agree the default should be to have it. Just looking through the themes I only see a handful that I think this might look worse on. -Todd _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
