Summary: graphical artifacts due to custom interface colors
(especially with KDE custom window color gradient)
Product: amarok
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: amarok-bugs-dist lists sourceforge net
ReportedBy: ahlgren mit edu
Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.3)
Installed from: Ubuntu Packages
Using custom colors produces many graphical artifacts:
Replication:
1- Menu: Settings > Configure AmaroK > Appearance > Custom Color Scheme
2- Set the colors to something kind of light-on-dark (e.g. light blue on dark blue, \
maybe even white on black). 3- Set KDE's color scheme to a gradient: launch kcontrol, \
go to Appearance/Themes > Colors, select "Blue Slate"
What you see:
- You see many flat dark rectangles (background color) around the screen within the \
gradient-colored menubars and panels; this is most noticable with: 1) the text \
"search" to the right of the black "[X>" icon on the filter bar, which is \
black-on-black and manifests as a black box on a gradient; 2) the volume control, \
which is hard to see because it's dark-blue-on-black, and also manifests as a black \
box in the middle of a nice gradient toolbar; 3) the Fourier Transform box, which \
also manifests as a black box in the middle of a nice gradient \
toolbar
- There's no way to edit the colors of the text used for songs.
- There're odd and large dark borders around the toolbars in various browsers, e.g. \
the Collection Browser.
The 'Search' button graphical artifact should be easy to fix. I would suggest that \
the easiest way to fix the bottom panel would be to keep it a toolbar (like it is \
right now I'm guessing) but give it a solid background color that trumps KDE's \
background gradient. However, I think the most elegant and prettiest way to fix it \
would be to make the volume control have a transparent background, and give the FFT \
box a nice, perhaps 2-4 pixel, border.
