Hi,

Using konsole with background-pictures is currently very 
hard as it is very difficult to read the text on the background.

BUT:

Could someone *please* implement shadowed text to make 
this feature usable?

I mean that every character is displayed twice:
Normally displayed in the foreground and the same character
displayed behind the other character but moved by one pixel
to the right (or one pixel to the right and one pixel down).
Depending on the background-picture this shadow-character
should be white or black.


example:

bbw  bbw
bbw bbw
bbwbbw
bbbbw
bbwbbw
bbw bbw
bbw  bbw

b=black
w=white

This would result in a much improved readability and this
konsole-feature would be much more useful.
