Hi,
yesterday I decided that I will no longer look at a lyrics applet with
white background
on my dark KDE-theme (Obsidian Cost).
After fiddling with the code I'm now stuck
here's the problem:
I was trying to match the 'look' of the other applets
those other applets are using some kind of transparent-fog as background-color
in KDE's default theme this is a light-blue transparent "fog"
I replaced the (always) white background with that transparent fog...
but it turns
out that this does not look perfect (yet :))
under [1] you can find a screenshot of the result using KDE's default theme.
as I'm using a dark theme I also checked how it looked there... and
surprise, it's not
as cool as I've thought. you can find a screenshot of it using the
Obsidian Cost theme
under [2]
now my question: any idea how I could make it look 'cool'? :)
I'm bad at graphics/design stuff - and I could not find a solution
yet, that would
fit well with all other applets (I don't want to make the lyrics
applet look different
than all other applets)
my only idea was removing that transparent 'fog' and using the normal back-
ground color also for applets
Regards,
Martin
