I know its a no brainier :) if every one agrees we can make it more opaque by 25%??? everybody please checkout the last revision (also backported) it's about that percentage more opaque, i think it's quite easy to read both on black and white backgrounds. on really noisy wallpapers is still a bit crappy, but the only way to avoid that would be to have a 95%-100% opacity.. and would be another theme :) aanyways, checks this and there is always time to correct it In a word, you fu...ing rock :) Now choose the word you like best :) blurring would probably help a lot, but that isn't supported by all compositing setups and we simply can't (yet) do it properly on a QGrahpicsScene. ___ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel -- Oxygen coordinator ___ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
air backgrounds - a little too translucent?
