Description Mohammed Arafa 2010-03-05 23:21:45 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

i use the blank screen saver for my system
if the window is locked and the notification window pops up (eg. forecastfox pop up in firefox) the area behind the notification pop up shows in the screen saver. 

its hard to miss, its the only colourful area in a blank screen saver

this is still valid for 4.10.5

The screen locker architecture changed with Plasma 5. The classic screen savers are no longer supported. The 4.x series won't see any further feature development, so this bug report won't be implemented as it doesn't apply to our current version any more.

I want to thank you for your bug report and for helping improving the quality of our software and I'm sorry that we were not able to provide a fix before we retired the affected component.
