Bug ID: 505029
Summary: Sub-pixel font smoothing is disabled on translucent
backgrounds
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
Reporter: im.tech.tac at gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
When sub-pixel font smoothing is enabled in font settings, it would work
everywhere* except in places where the background of the text is
semi-transparent (which is quite common in modern themes) where it instead
reverts to full-pixel grayscale anti-aliasing.
This doesn't seem to apply to shell widgets.
EXAMPLES
1. All menus when setting menu transparency to any value other than 100% in
Breeze application style config
2. Konsole when background color transparency is enabled
3. Window titles when Breeze or Oxygen window decoration themes are selected,
but not Plastique (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=460840), though not
sure this is because of transparency
OBSERVED RESULT
Grayscale anti-aliasing
EXPECTED RESULT
Blended sub-pixel RGB smoothing
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
