Description ghk 2001-09-06 10:38:33 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kcmcolors
Version:           KDE 2.9.0 CVS/CVSup/Snapshot
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

The preview of the color setup still shows the same old boring KDE 1 theme. It should be updated to reflect the current default theme (or perhaps dynamically reflect the currently selected theme?)

I just saw screenshots of the upcoming KDE 3.1 and noticed that the preview 
dialog *still* shows KDE 1 window decorations. Honestly this looks a bit 
ridiculous ...

Some Window decorations (Quartz, at least) does not use the colours directly, 
but use shades of the colours. This makes predicting the effect of a colour 
change very hard, since the actual colours will be a bit different from the 
ones on the preview. Yet another reason to view the *current* decoration.

Shouldn't this be easy to fix now?
Comment 5 Stephan Binner 2003-11-22 15:57:41 UTC
After having a first look I withdraw the "easy" (e.g. getting hotspots right). Also I see a problem with color picking and color dropping when a window decoration uses shades. How shall this work? You would have to remove this functionality.

I think we need something like this: http://kde.ground.cz/tiki-index.php?page=Ideas+for+projects+to+make+routine+tasks+easier+and+faster

Color preview still does not use the current theme for preview.
Comment 9 Matthew Woehlke 2007-11-29 19:12:40 UTC
KDE4 uses the current widget style (real widgets, in fact) for the preview but currently has no WM preview at all. This still needs to be fixed, but won't happen until at least 4.1.

Currently there is an overview. It could be more complete but still. I consider it closed as it's very old.
