Hi, indeed we removed it for optimization. Perhaps you are the only people which used it. Sorry for that. But it reduces memory allocation etc. So it was removed for it. We will not readd it. Regards |
Created attachment 107458 [details] screenshot Dear KDEPIM devs/users, gentoo has made kmail 5.5.3 stable as of today. And, unsuspectingly, updating the world got me into some issues with kmail: 1) it seems I lost the message list theme font editing capability. The one where you can cutomize the font for sender, subject, date and all those bits of email in preview pane. Just in case, the setting I am talking about is here: Settings > Konfigure KMail > Appearance > Message List > Default theme > Configure > pick the theme and see Advanced tab and right click on the fileds (see attached screenshot) The previous version of the kmail( kmail-4.4.2017.04) from the tree had all the bells and whistles. You could chose any font and/or custom color. The new version allows you select custom color, but only allows you make the font either bold or italic which is unfortunate as the my choice of fonts make the message list pretty poorly readable as it looks too bunched up and lacks visual clarity, unfortunately. I grepped kmail-4.4.2017.04/messagelist for "font" and it has plenty going on with regards to the custom font functionality for those fields in a theme. And I am not talking about "softening". My point is about the customization which was present in "previous" version. The new version seems to have rather poor functionality. Is this a planned and conscious choice or perhaps a regression? Can we please have those options back? 2) there is no possibilty ( at least it seems so ) to chose cutom font for unread messages list. I saw a bug report regarding point 2) which was supposedly fixed, alas the last reporter on it said it came back. Please, can you please point me to a resource where I can read about these minor but pertinent issues.
