Background of Tooltips transparent

[Micha Neubauer]

Hello,

I can't remember since when I notice this behaviour, but I can remember that at some time
in the past it was different...
The very helpful tool-tips, on the pictures as well as on the album-view, have a
transparent background. This makes it very hard to read.
Does anybody know if it is possible to change this setting and where?
Changing the theme does not have any influence...
I upgraded from DK 1.3 to 1.4 on my Kubuntu 10.4 yesterday. This at least did not change
anything.

Thanks a lot
micha

Hi micha,
Not the digikam's theme,change operating system's theme!
I am using PCLinuxOS2010-KDE with digikam 1.4.0.After upgrading to KDE 4.5.1 had same issue.
Changed KDE's 'Desktop theme' to 'Air' to overcome it.
Best luck!

It appeared with KDE 4.5 and is fixed in SVN, at least for 4.5. There were
problems reported with this fix for KDE 4.4, but I cannot test that.

I use KDE 4.5.1, but I have transparent backgrounds, too.

Marcel,
are you sure this is fixed?

and there with KDE 4.4.3, the contrast look very bad : unreadable
digiKam theme : Darkroom
KDE theme : wonton soup

Thanks Jagdeesh,

that's is a workaround. I first tried some changes on the "workspace appearance", but it
did not help. Now I changed the "application appearance" to "cleanlooks" and there we are.
I usually do not play around much with these things, but in this time a change has quite
some positive effect.

Anyway, the problem seems to be know, so I hope it will be solved with the next release.

Thanks a lot everybody for this really good program
bye

Yes - at least for my environment. I've tested both branches.
The discussion is at
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=250265
There are screenshots how it looks for me.

The important part is
p.drawPrimitive(QStyle::PE_PanelTipLabel, opt);
in paintEvent, which draws the same background as all "normal" tooltips have
as well - code is taken from QToolTipLabel.
Previously, we painted nothing, and at least with KDE 4.5, a tooltip is a
translucent window.
setFrameStyle(QFrame::StyledPanel); is also important I think.
I'm not sure about the impact of the setForegroundRole/setBackgroundRole calls
in the constructor, as well as the call to setPalette(QToolTip::palette());

For me, the tooltip is also colored according to the current palette when I
change the (digikam) theme or the KDE color theme (did not test the latter
because it crashes KWin here ;-) )

Marcel
