           Summary: oxygen color gradients do not look great in 16 bit color

            Status: UNCONFIRMED

I have been running various RC of KDE. The Oxygen theme looks very odd in 16 bit color. It looks GREAT in 32 or 24 bit color.  While I would like to run in 24 or 32 bit color those systems not correctly set up or those limited to 16 bit color for various reasons (like my laptop) are stuck with a bit of a mess.

I really like it full color. Perhaps some way for it to degrade nicely at lower color depths could be found? If KDE is to be installed on embedded systems/Mobile Internet Devices at some point this point is likely to require solving when porting Oxygen. 

Great work on Oxygen.
