Description Oswald Buddenhagen 2009-02-09 23:55:48 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

while i generally like dark backgrounds (linux colors in konsole all the time :), the black frame in the konq about: page simply does not cut it:
- the contrast to the rest is too high
- as can be seen by the appearance of all "terminal" and "vga" fonts, fonts meant for dark backgrounds are generally somewhat bold. otherwise they strain the eyes more than necessary
- many of the icons are hardly recognizable; they were rather obviously designed with light backgrounds in mind. i suppose that's a kde-wide problem. but if nothing else, with default settings (background light) the icons appear different in that page than in the actual ui.

The icons are also rather small. Are there usability provisions for that?
Comment 2 Maksim Orlovich 2009-02-10 03:10:33 UTC
You may want to ask the artists about this instead; or does dfaure have a secret art talent, too?
Comment 3 A. Spehr 2009-02-10 03:29:19 UTC
dfaure knows all! But perhaps "artwork"?
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2017-11-29 06:36:36 UTC
No longer relevant.
