Version: 2.4.0 OS: Linux The moodbar default colors changed in 2.4 to something less useful. Please readd the old default color scheme, maybe as a new name, but now i have to use happy which is just terrible. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: enable moodbar with default colors Actual Results: pale and useless Expected Results: should look like 2.3 not like frozen. Even frozen is now more colorful :-(
Confirmed, the default looks different.
i suggest simply adding a new entry "medium" or so, which does not set any value at all, so it's the old default. long term would be nice to have a config entries file for this settings.

I really like the moodbar feature, but this change makes it quite useless.
(In reply to comment #4) > I really like the moodbar feature, but this change makes it quite useless. Well, this bug report will be acted upon ASAP, we only have two hands per developer and all are working in their free time.

Hi, as far as I see it (and I am no expert in mood bars) the default style uses the amarok theme colors. Stylish but not very colorfull. However in the settings you can switch the style. If you want something with more colors just choose the "happy". Might it be that you rather want "happy" to be the default? If not, which of the styles do you like most?
Upps, just re-read the original bug entry. That actually answers all my questions. Will fix
Checked the provided commit and also if there are any more changes. Here is the relevant code: - default: // Happy + case 3: // Happy -snip- + + default: // Default (system colours) Previously "Happy" was the default. The commit adds a new system colours default. Reverting the patch would just mean that the "terrible" Happy theme would be default again. Sorry, won't fix.
You don't understand: even Happy is not anymore the colors it used to be. All colors look dull now. There was definitely a change somewhere, and this is a regression. Reopening.
Sorry, maybe you changed your kde style. How about making two pictures (one with the old and one with the new colors) to show me what you mean?
I never change my KDE style and always use the default color scheme provided by KDE. The default moodbar has definitely changed and looks different than before. Apparently the current default mood is the same as Frozen. The only one still looking correct is Happy
(In reply to comment #11) > maybe you changed your kde style. No, I did not. Come on, the moodbar color change is even listed on a release page. > How about making two pictures (one with the old and one with the new colors) to > show me what you mean? See main screenshot on Amarok moodbar wiki page.
At this place I would like to copy my old comment: - default: // Happy + case 3: // Happy -snip- + + default: // Default (system colours) Previously "Happy" was the default. The commit adds a new system colours default. I can't believe that the old default (which was Happy) is different from the current Happy. I would like to see a screenshot. This would also allow me (if they are really different) to restore the old look.
(In reply to comment #14) > I can't believe that the old default (which was Happy) is different from the > current Happy. I've found it: http://amarok.kde.org/blog/archives/1115-Post-Amarok-2.2.1-Adding-some-color-to-your-life!.html "Even the 4 different moodbar "styles" (normal, angry, frozen and happy) have been ported over." Currently, there's no "normal" style in the moodbar configuration. There's "default" instead. As for the commit, something else must've been changed also, because the relase notes state: http://amarok.kde.org/en/releases/2.4.0 "The default moodbar style now uses system colors." not "The default moodbar style is changed from Happy to Default".
Created attachment 58906 [details] Moodbar screenshot: default vs happy color scheme Happy is more colorful than the old default scheme. The default one uses the original RGB values as they are stored in the *.mood file, while the happy scheme increases saturation and value of the colors. I patched my Amarok's src/moodbar/MoodbarManager.cpp back to the old default values. Here is the code (starting at line 311): switch( paintStyle ) { case 1: // Angry threshold = samples / 360 * 9; rangeStart = 45; rangeDelta = -45; sat = 200; val = 100; break; case 2: // Frozen threshold = samples / 360 * 1; rangeStart = 140; rangeDelta = 160; sat = 50; val = 100; break; case 3: // Happy threshold = samples / 360 * 2; rangeStart = 0; rangeDelta = 359; sat = 150; val = 200; break; default: // old default: don't change Moodfile's RGB threshold = samples / 360 * 3; rangeStart = 0; rangeDelta = 359; sat = 100; val = 100; break; /* default: // Ugly default (system colours) threshold = samples / 360 * 3; rangeStart = The::paletteHandler()->highlightColor().hsvHue(); rangeStart = (rangeStart - 20 + 360) % 360; rangeDelta = 20; sat = The::paletteHandler()->highlightColor().hsvSaturation(); val = The::paletteHandler()->highlightColor().value() / 2; */ }
Yes, the old "Normal" style is gone, and the "Default" style for me currently is the same as "Frozen", so no system colors here AFAICS. It would be sensoible to either get the old "Normal" style back or to really set "Default" to system colors.

Sorry to reheat this old topic, but upgrading to Kubuntu 11.10 (overwriting my self-compiled Amarok version) made me recognize that this bug is still not fixed. The old "Normal" style was and is *not* the (IMHO ugly) happy style, so 82d102ba32e0a1b6a154dfe4653e786229c0dcb7 did not really fix the bug. Please have a look at the attached screenshot for a comparison of the different moodbar styles! I have submitted a review request at https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/103036/ which re-adds the old "Normal" style as a fourth option.

Kevin, could you please have a look?
