Imo KMessageWidget should not rely on being placed where there's enough contrast. The transparency just doesn't work in the case of Konsole. Either Konsole needs to move the widget outside the terminal painting area which looks complicated to achieve or the message widget should provide some API which apps can use in cases where the background has not enough contrast.

Maybe some autoFillBackground helps, see http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwidget.html#autoFillBackground-prop I just tried setting autoFillBackground: The background is not animated, so it breaks the animation of the message widget. Also it is painted black. I guess those things could be fixed within the KMessageWidget. The question is what makes more sense, fixing each application where the message widget looks broken or fixing the message widget to look not broken. 🤔 REPOSITORY R236 KWidgetsAddons REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D12508 To: ngraham, hein, #plasma, #vdg, elvisangelaccio, cfeck Cc: broulik, anemeth, abetts, cfeck, mart, fabianr, elvisangelaccio, jnoack, #frameworks, michaelh, bruns
