Description Carlos Woelz 2003-12-15 15:07:09 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.1 mdk
OS:          Linux

Small usabilty bug. Reported By Eugenia from OSNews.

On some backgrounds, fonts are hard to read. Making text shadows a default solves this.

I know that there is code to make sure that it is reasonably easy to read in the first place, but the shadows improve it further.
Comment 2 Carlos Woelz 2003-12-24 12:32:53 UTC 
Fixed in CVS by aseigo.
Comment 3 FiNeX 2009-01-02 20:26:17 UTC
