if use base.color with alpha channel on Dolphin

Please never do that! Quoting myself in Theme-Making.pdf → Dealing with exceptions:

"(3) Always use an opaque color for base.color (under GeneralColors); otherwise, item-views of some applications might show what is “behind” them (because of a bug in those applications)."

Thanks!

Maybe it's possible hacked? This style looking very good and added translucency for window with borders on all apps: image image

The problem can happen anywhere, not just in Dolphin. Read Theme-Making.pdf → Dealing with exceptions to know why such problems happen.

BTW, your theme is elegant. It's a shame that some apps don't support translucent colors completely.

Good news:

I may have found a way to save your theme, as far as possible. I'll make a commit after some tests and will tell you when it's ready.

Reopening...

Big thx @tsujan :)

tsujan commented 6 years ago

@varlesh Finding a workaround for all apps may be impossible but I'll try my best to add a workaround for Dolphin at least.

varlesh commented 6 years ago

ok :+1:

tsujan commented 6 years ago

Done! Please test the latest git Kvantum and tell me the result! If it's successful, you could tell your users to install the latest git Kvantum.

Please note that a translucent base color is still tricky and can result in strange things here and there. However, I liked the risk you'd taken. So, please tell me if anything goes wrong! I might not be able to find a workaround but I could try at least ;)

BTW, I think Kvantum is the only widget style that partially supports translucent base colors :)

Ok, i try it now

varlesh commented 6 years ago

I check this with Dolphin and KTorrent and this worked fine!!!! You are a wizard and awesome!!! Very Cool. Big thx :smiley:

Thank you for testing! In future, I might find a better way of detecting special widgets for removing base translucency from them.
