Description Anton Petersson 2010-05-18 08:37:10 UTC

Version:           2.1.1 (using KDE 4.4.3)
Installed from:    Archlinux Packages

I'm working on a kde theme for gaia 10 (http://www.gaia10.us/forum/thread.php?threadid=188) and don't think aurorae can do exactly what I want it to...

I'd like to show the tab background behind the title regardless if there are any other tabs. and preferably stretch behind icons etc to the edge, also, being able to set a minimum width for the background would be awesome.

Here's a mockup of how I imagine it: http://imgur.com/ZPRSJ.png

if you feel it's too much work; then doing it separately from the tabs would be fine too :)

The mockup helps :-) So what it needs is a kind of background for the case of exactly one tab (or better said: no tabbing) and a way to restrict the tab stretching over the whole window title bar.

So I propose adding two new elements "ttitle-background-active" and "title-background-inactive" for the case of exactly one tab. The element would also be used for tabs, but only if none of "tab-*" elements is present. For restricting the stretching I'd say we can add hint elements to controll it.

Now I have an idea: it seems like you already did some work on the theme. Could you just add everything you want to have in the decoration, send it to me and I implement it?

that would be title-background-active-left, title-background-active-center and title-background-active-right, right? :)

wow, that sounds awesome :D
I can't think of anything else that would be necessary for this theme though, except overlapping tabs (if it doesn't have that already :P)

I'm assuming I'll have to wait for kde4.5 to see these changes though? (not really an issue, I'm just wondering)

yes and also topleft, topright, etc. etc. So a complete FrameSvg with all 
border elements would be possible (and is possible for tabs already)

No overlapping tabs is not yet possible. I have to think about how I can 
implement that.

4.5 is already in feature freeze and it doesn't look like a bug fix to me ;-) 
So unfortunately 4.6, but will be available in Aurorae Designer earlier.

Do-able with QML aurorae
