Can you please try which one exactly? (coment them with '#')

There's a problem with the font metric calculation - I guess you'll somewhere have special font settings in kmail (eg. for the message view etc.)

Ideally, please try which font (some Script?) causes this (and where it's set) and share that knowledge.

should not happen anyway, because dolphin is kind of a "document" tab (like browsers) but apparently the tabbar does not provide that hint.

There's a thin outline w/o compositing. With compositing you could utilize the shadow (use them as halo) and if you configure the deco hint to sth. that's not the Window role and set "None" as gradient you'll also get a border (if the edge and base sizes are > 0)

Does that fit your needs?
Otherwise please illustrate the faced issue with screenshot. - Sep 29 2012

neither FF nor chromium can use bespin since they're gtk+ applications (where FF is not even that)

you'll be using gtk-qt (a gtk+ style which wraps around a qt style)

1. don't expect gtk+ applications to look too much like qt applications because gtk+ simply can't do a couple of things (foremost generic contrast swapping on hover is pof)

2. iirc the div by zero error used to be a bug in rather old gtk-qt versions which failed on non-visible scrollbar buttons, so i'd try to either enable those in "bespin config" or update gtk-qt

if you're interesten in a certain look, a native gtk+ style like orta will rather fit you for those applications (bespin also ships a chromium skin in it's svn repo) - Jul 15 2012

Bespin

Be-Shell/Bespin by thomas12777 1662 comments

No. The color is capped because it's f****** hard to cast a shadow on black ;-)

You can however control the cap (i just see the default is 70, what's actually to bright, i use 48 - tsts..)

If you've a recent version of bespin it's sufficient to enter
bespin write style Bg.MinValue 48
to konsole or krunner, otherwise you'll have to edit ~/.config/Bespin/Style.conf and add the key by hand.
The value _has_ to be between 0 and 255 (while setting it to 255 is maybe not the smartest thing one can do ;-)

I'll update the default, sorry for the trouble and thanks for the report. - Jul 06 2012

If you want to update beclock immediately just run

"kcmshell4 kwindecoration", press configure.
on the first tab you can configure gradients and colors (since the kwin color kcm no longer provides that) for the "Default" decoration. This is used for any "unknown" window.

For bespin styled windows, the style signals the window the current look and what colors/gradients are intended.
You can suppress that in the "trick" (yes, silly name) tab of the decoration config dialog. Just check "ignore bespin style hints"

If you want to alter the style controlled look, that's configured with the style, eg. run "bespin config" and adjust settings in "kwin decoration hints" - Jun 23 2012

Bespin

Be-Shell/Bespin by thomas12777 1662 comments

It is unfortunately not that simple :-(

The geometry calculation is unlikely the issue, but the font hinting and dpi as well as the set font metrics impact the result. To get a realistic idea of what the default font looks like, i actually paint a string with a lot of chars and count pixels (eg. some fonts have huge extents)

Unfortunately i set this font dynamically during painting the widget, so painting a nice image and count pixels by try-and-error to get the "ideal" size is not a great way to achieve this.

For the moment, i tried to use the flooring point size since i assume pixelsize will use pointsizef and thus may cause a ceil through hinting on your side (r1495)

You could also run "kcmshell4 fonts" and check the detected dpi, resp. try forcing 96dpi as well as the actual dpi of your screen ... - Apr 25 2012
Bespin

Be-Shell/Bespin by thomas12777 1662 comments

Yes, I've actually not tried to adress this one so far.
The reason is however for most sure a "failure" in QFont::setPixelSize() - either because of the font, libfreetype or even Qt (doesn't occur here however, with no tested "regular" font that does not rely on invalid as/descends anyway, eg. zapfino or so)

I'll probably have to seek for more reliable ways to get the font metrics (did you know about hidden FontExtent & FontOffset config items? Don't however apply here, but on buttons sizes etc.)

Hi, please don't stash bug reports or wishes in or after cheering text, because i usually stop reading the latter after the first lines.

Also ideally report bugs or wishes at cloudcity.sf.net since they'll easily get lost here.

> when the menus are transaprent, not all are blurred
yes, plasma gets some special treatment (because it uses translucency and blurring itself there would be too much interferecence)
I enabled blurring for at least QMenu popups
-> r1487

> Konsole is not blurred
that issue is not as trivial as you think and there's even a bug report on it.
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198175

> the transitions won't always work.
tab transitions do not work with ARGB windows, mostly because xrender does not support additive composition and by this you cannot eg. crossfade between two transparent elements (but will always get some overpainting because the lower elements are too strong)
(iirc i however control this by the bespin config setting, ie. you'll see the effect with an ARGB konsole background)

Doesn't help though.
It's a graphicsview so i've little control about that thing.

animated treeviews is just a setting the developer needs to turn on for his treeview, and i did that for those who forgot - but this simply is no real treeview but a movie that looks like one. pro of the latter is the superior speed of the scenegraph.
