Fix crash + tighter Konsole window condition + read default shell profile from konsolerc

Fix crash when using an unmodified color profile Fixes #29

[trmdi]

Ok, it doesn't crash anymore..

But there is a new problem: the titlebar is just transparent but not blurred when using the kvantum widget style.

Steps to reproduce:

• Use the kvantum widget style instead of the breeze one.
• Change the konsole colorscheme.
• Run qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin org.kde.KWin.reconfigure -> ok, the titlebar is transparent and blurred.
• Restart konsole -> this time the titlebar is just transparent, but not blurred ??? (tried restarting kwin and konsole, but the same result, the konsole window is still blurred)

Is there a way to fix it without switching from the kvantum widget style to the breeze one?

@alex47 @tsujan

Update: Solved

• go to the Kvantum setting > Uncheck Blur explicitly translucent windows and add "konsole" into the Opaque apps list.

[tsujan]

Kvantum doesn't and cannot affect anything in any titlebar. The problem should be somewhere else.

[trmdi]

Another problem, if you @alex47 change the titlebar's background color, you should also change its text color to the colorscheme's foreground color. Otherwise, in some cases the titlebar's background color and the text color could be the same.

[alex47]

@trmdi you mean the Konsole titlebar text should use the same color as the terminal text?

[trmdi]

Yes @alex47.

@tsujan @alex47 Thank you. I solved the "the titlebar is transparent but not blurred" problem above by go to the Kvantum setting > Uncheck Blur explicitly translucent windows and add "konsole" into the Opaque apps list.

I'm afraid that's not a solution but a workaround for a bug somewhere. Blur explicitly translucent windows isn't limited to Konsole, not even to KDE; it applies kwin blurring to apps with explicit translucency wherever kwin can be used BUT DOES NOT TOUCH TITLE-BARS.

[alex47]

@trmdi @tsujan it should be fixed now, please try again @trmdi regarding the Konsole titlebar text color, I leave that decision up to @ishovkun

I'll try SierraBreeze soon; it seems to fix an old drawback of Breeze :) I was lucky because, after being called from here, I realized such a good project exists.

[tsujan]

I tried the latest git SierraBreeze and it's very nice.

I see that it supports translucency only with Konsole and wonder if it's possible to add a configurable degree of translucency in general. If so, it'll be the best choice with Kvatum translucent themes under KDE. However, I haven't read SierraBreeze's code yet.

[tsujan]

I mean something like this (except for the buttons), which is an Emerald decoration plus a Kvantum theme, that I use under LXQt with Compiz-reloaded:

[alex47]

@tsujan try my fork of Breeze: https://github.com/alex47/BreezeBlurred I think it has just what you need. You can configure transparency in the decoration settings itself and color in the system color settings.

[tsujan]

@alex47 Excellent! I'll surely try it. Thanks!
