[KimDaBa] New snapshot with improved thumbnail viewer

[Jesper K. Pedersen]

Its all about a matter of priorities. Things takes time.
If I change the background color, then I also need to change the color of the 
lines, and the color of the shadow lines.

Tell me why you need the labels at all, please.

|    |    Over the Christmas holidays I've reimplemented the thumbnail
|    | viewer. Read all about it on http://ktown.kde.org/kimdaba/news.htm
|    |
|    |    A new snapshot is available with it, and I urge everyone to start
|    |    using the snapshots. Due to an unfortunate amount of bugs
|    |    introduced either by KDE, Qt or esp Suse, I'm planning to freeze
|    |    soon and make a release.
|    |
|    | 1) The new thumbnail viewer overrides my color choice -- the
|    |    background is always white (my normal background is black).
|
|    There is no color choice anymore (*evil grin*)
|    Color choice is IMHO an example of over configurability which just makes
|    things harder to maintain.
|    So if you want that back in, you gotta work real hard on it ;-)
|
| But KDE already provides color choice for backgrounds; I'm simply
| asking that you honor it.
|
|    | 2) The new thumbnail viewer doesn't display the image name (unless
|    |    it's actually being displayed in my normal text color, which of
|    |    course is white).
|
|    That is true too. I considered the text for a long time, and came to the
|    conclusion that I wouldn't do it.
|
| Why?
