Description Sebastien 2004-09-20 01:00:49 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs

I'm using a transparent kicker.
And with a nice wallpaper, it allow to customize kicker look really greatly.
But I also use KSysGuard applet aand it's not beautiful!

See screenshot of the actual state:

And mockup of what I would want to get:

As you see, a possible solution would be to separate monitors with a nice dotted line.

Now, I customized my kicker better for a MAC OS X Tiger look and few days ago I discovered that a modified taskbar alllow to have it transparent too.
The KSysGuard applet is the only one applet that still isn't transparent.

My recent kicker:

And what I would want to have (full transparency):

Thank you by advance, if it  is feasable.

so as I see it, the graph should mainly be drawn without a background, i.e. directly on the transparent background. I'm all for it, even though I don't use it.

I'm closing applet bug/wish reports since KDE4 no longer has an applet.
