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

-* Dockers: The tab bar for multiple dockers in the same slot looks poor; there is more sophistication in the engine and additional design work required to make tabs-for-dockers look good

-* On a menu, it is not possible to see which menu is actually active.

-: 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.
 * Centered group titles pose several problems. Left align group titles instead. See Discussion for more details.
-* 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)

-* Window titlebar buttons do not 'react' when mouse clicked. Only indication when the mouse moves over them. Need a 'depressed' look/state when actually clicked like other widgets. (spstarr) 14:40, 02 December 2007 (EST)
+* "flat" buttons drawn same as regular buttons <b>we may not want flat buttons - considering</b>
-* Maximize/Restore Buttons on titlebar 'jump' and corrupt panel on redrawing. See http://rapidshare.de/files/37960220/oxygen-resize.ogg.html or http://video.tinypic.com/player.php?v=72vk3df&s=1 for example. (spstarr) 15:01, 02 December 2007 (EST)
-* With everything around it styled nicely, having just a plain colour for selected items, e.g. in the speedbar, looks a bit disconnect from the rest of the GUI. Thus any effect that polishes this bit is welcome, such as a frame or even translucency.

-== Known Bugs ==
+== Things we'd like to do ==
-* Dockers
-** frame when floating should have rounded corners <span style="color: green">releasable</span>
-* KHTML integration
-** khtml makes illegal assumptions about buttons. Awaits patch review by Maxim <span style="color: red">showstopper</span>
-* "flat" buttons drawn same as regular buttons <span style="color: green">releasable</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>
-* need to audit color role use (see QA #3) <span style="color: orange">priority</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 almost done <span style="color: green">releasable</span>
-* windeco
-** corners should really be alpha transparent <span style="color: green">releasable</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
-* Buttons on KNewStuff download dialog do not appear
+** make flat more homogeneous in look with normal (very short regular?)
+* docked dockers might need a nicer frame
