Description Lastique 2013-11-16 17:47:56 UTC

The search page of ktorrent appears to have tiled background image and the area around the search field seems garbled. The background would look much better if the image was scaled & cropped to fit the window size (similarly how it works for the desktop background) or at least if the image edges were morphing into each other.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open ktorrent and go to the torrent search page.

Actual Results:  
See the screenshot.

Expected Results:  
The background image should look better (either scaled and cropped or just do not show abrupt transitions from one tile to another). The area around the search field should not be garbled.

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Cannot test it because of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=400930.

Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version?

If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!

In Ktorrent 21.12.3, there is no background image anymore (see the screenshot) and I didn't find a way to customize it. If this is the intended look then I guess you could call it fixed.
