          Priority: NOR

described feature is implemented by this patch

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

This patch changes the display of image-captions during a slideshow.

caption text is:
* horizontally centered
* surrounded by a rounded rectangle
* opacity of the background-rectangle can be set (0-10)


The previous option "Transparent Background" had the feature to draw the
caption in an outlined-text style. This feature is still available and can now
be set independently of the background-transparency (option: "Outlined Text").


For example, the google-picasa look can be emulated by setting:
Font: Bitstream Vera Sans
font-size: 20
foreground-color: white
background-color: dark gray or dark blue tone
opacity: 80%



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
in the advanced slideshow setup menu, options for captions, one can choose the
foreground color, background color or transparent background.

Actual Results:  
Caption text is printed on the left side with a simple background.

Expected Results:  
caption text is printed horizontally centered, with a more attractive
background.
