Bug ID: 515928
Summary: configurable transparency - wishlist
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First master
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Weather widget
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
terminals have configurable transparency. This applet is either clear or too
dark. No mouse over option. can transparency be configurable?
Are we stuck with too light and too dark?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. use the widget
2. use the composite background.. too dark for a GIF background that is
changing
3. use the clear background.... to light for a GIF background that is changing
OBSERVED RESULT
I want a readable weather report, but no option is great if I have an animated
background with multiple colours
EXPECTED RESULT
readable weather report. I want to see the weather and background, together.
make the transparency configurable like most things (every terminal for as long
as I can remember). then the background can be made dark enough to blur the
background, but not obscure the animated backgrounds.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: been a long time
macOS: rarely
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: all of them
KDE Plasma Version: current
KDE Frameworks Version: current
Qt Version: current
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Like most, I have windows open which cover the desktop usually. When I look at
a blank desktop to see the widgets I have there (like the weather) I cannot
control what frame of animation is playing. Is it light? Is it dark? I want
both the background and widget to be visible. The widget has 2 settings "All"
or "Nothing".
If you say no to adding the option to configure it I wont send in another bug
report about how I would like to see the weather, but not have it take over the
background. I will give up and just make the best of it, maybe just use a
website in a web browser or something.
Thanks for making the widget, I just want it to be able to be visible and not
obscure/overwhelm the background.
