D25337: Change transparency to 10% and added blur

[Mariusz Glebocki]

mglb added a comment.


  Default text color and this new background blended with white still has good contrast, but it doesn't look so good when colored text is used (not that it looks perfect now).
  Also, please consider how it looks with transparency but without blur (as it does not work everywhere). It can be distracting.
  Konsole is sometimes used for hours for looking at text, so it have to be readable by default.

  View backgrounds are not transparent, so this breaks consistency anyway (see Konsole panel in e.g. Kate, Dolphin, KDevelop).

  In real use cases people use more than one window and don't see wallpaper that much (even behind the window). Sometimes the other window is e.g. white web page or some pdf. Anyway, default wallpaper is far from dark.
  Maybe try a color which gives Charocal Grey (breeze dark view background) when blended with white (i.e. #0b0e12)?
