Projects/Oxygen/StyleWinDec: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 09:03, 18 May 2011

The current Oxygen style and window decoration for KDE4 can be found in kde-workspace git repository (https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdebase/kde-workspace). The relevant subdirectories are:

libs/oxygen/
kstyles/oxygen
kwin/clients/oxygen

Visitors

We no longer accept bugs here.

Please use bugs.kde.org under Oxygen

We strongly suggest that you come to #oxygen on irc first to discuss the bug.

Rejected Bugs

In (double) spinboxes the font is positioned one pixel too high. Lowering it one makes it baseline-aligned with labels in front. Unfortunately not possible. We want them to be the same size as editable comboboxes and lineedits and buttons so those line up. The 1px wrong placement of text is a qt weirdness that gives visual bugs when we try to work around it
Centered group titles pose several problems. Left align group titles instead. See Discussion for more details.
KMenu::addTitle() adds a widget action to display a title in a popup menu. This is not specific to Oxygen, but the widget it creates could use some polishing. (to see this, right click any icon in the system tray)not a style bug report to kmenu maintainer - and don't ever add things to "accepted bugs" below again - this went unnoticed because of that
"flat" buttons drawn same as regular buttons we may not want flat buttons - considering

Things we'd like to do

progress bars still not like the artist wants priority
should repaint on globalChange signal (how?) releasable
- this seems to only be a problem for the colors kcm, may not even be a style bug
headers in tables
- not really done - but the plain color look is acceptable for now releasable
Rounded corners of floatables (windows,menus dockers) should be done with alpha
Windeco should use alpha for corners (need kwin improvements?)
groupboxes
- make flat more homogeneous in look with normal (very short regular?)
docked dockers might need a nicer frame

QA

This is helpful checklist to use when looking for bugs in a style:

reverse layout
high-contrast color schemes (i.e. all fg/bg black or white)
reverse-light/dark color schemes (e.g. light-on-dark buttons with dark-on-light views, etc.)
QA color scheme
sliders, scrollbars, progress - in all orientations and good cross section of values
content padding works for all controls, does not break sizeToContents functionality
controls align nicely and controls that should be the same size, are
no obvious glitches in uidemo

-* add your entry here and we (the developers) will move it down and prioritize
+We no longer accept bugs here.
-* The bouncing icon (the launch feedback) is black. This <b>was</b> also happening with drag-n-drop icons from Plasma Applet Browser, but is now fixed.
+Please use bugs.kde.org under Oxygen
-* Dockers;  the title is positioned too far to the left and it runs into the rounded-border

-: what about altering the size hints so the whole widget moves down? Trouble is we want them to be the same size as editable comboboxes and lineedits and buttons so those line up. The 1px wrong placement of text is a qt weirdness that gives visual bugs when we try to work around it - believe me - I've spent several hours on this.
-* The ok and cancel buttons on dialogs (so called 'control buttons') don't have the same width. <b>Not a style problem </b>

-* Window decoration scales the menu icons down resulting in the icons blurring. Interestingly in the kwindecoration kcmshell the preview shows the 16x16/mimetypes/unknown.png icon at its correct 16x16 size, but as soon as the use the deco for real, it starts blurring them. (This is also true for KDE4's Plastik deco). [[User:Djmdave|Djmdave]] 22:26, 28 October 2007 (CET)
+== Things we'd like to do ==
-* QPushButton::setFlat() is not honored
-== Known Bugs ==
-* tabs
-** east and west aren't done at all <span style="color: orange">priority</span>
-** small glitches in filling inactive tabs <span style="color: orange">priority</span>
-* Dockers
-** frame when docked can be overwritten <span style="color: green">releasable</span>
-** frame when floating should have rounded corners <span style="color: red">showstopper</span>
-* KHTML integration
-** khtml makes illegal assumptions about buttons. Awaits patch review by Maxim <span style="color: red">showstopper</span>
-* KLineEdit
-** stylesheets ruin the look. Aseigo says to wait for qt fix <span style="color: red">showstopper</span>
-* Holes in general
-** need bigger margins so shadow/glow are not lost?
-** fix non-rounded corners when filling (at least) lineedits <span style="color: orange">priority</span>
-** with autoFillBackground, corners are overpainted (how to fix this??) <span style="color: orange">priority</span>
-* QToolBox not drawn <span style="color: red">showstopper</span>
-* need to audit color role use (see QA #3) <span style="color: red">showstopper</span>
-* Reverse layout is broken
-** listview,tablevies paint the frame in LTR place Qt issue 137304 <span style="color: green">releasable</span>
 * progress bars still not like the artist wants <span style="color: orange">priority</span>
-* menus not done <span style="color: green">releasable</span>
-** KMenu::addTitle() adds a widget action to display a title in a popup menu. This is not specific to Oxygen, but the widget it creates could use some polishing. (to see this, right click any icon in the system tray)
-* windeco
-** corners should really be alpha transparent <span style="color: red">showstopper</span>
 * should repaint on globalChange signal (how?) <span style="color: green">releasable</span>
 ** this seems to only be a problem for the colors kcm, may not even be a style bug
 *headers in tables
 **not really done - but the plain color look is acceptable for now <span style="color: green">releasable</span>
-* checkboxes in Q3ListView (Kontact-ToDo) are broken <span style="color: green">releasable</span>
+* Rounded corners of floatables (windows,menus dockers) should be done with alpha
-* Groupboxes
+* Windeco should use alpha for corners (need kwin improvements?)
-** does not report a minimum size that allows it to show the text on the box. I.e. a groupbox with no contents, the groupbox-title is clipped. <span style="color: green">releasable</span>
+* groupboxes
-** metrics for checkable groupboxes broken (see discussion for screenshot) <span style="color: orange">priority</span>
