More look and feel hacking
04/03/00

The past couple days I've spent doing hacks and improvements to both KWin and widget look and feel plugin engines. These include:

KWin style engines:

  • You can now move around the titlebar in the "B2" engine by holding down the shift key and using the mouse thanks to a very cool patch from Michael Matz.
  • General speedup in the drawing code for the "System" engine.
  • Smoother active titlebar resizing mostly thanks to Rik Hemsley's suggestions.

KDE widget style engines:

  • The B2 engine now draws a frame around lineedits embedded in comboboxes.
  • There is a new routine for drawing shaded frames such as those used in list boxes for B2.
  • B2 now has a new separator drawing routine.
  • Toolbar button handling has been improved (really visible in Konsole).
  • KHtml interaction fixes.
  • KStep (the Next-like KDE widget engine) has some color usage fixes and an improved toolbar.
  • The widget theme engine has gotten some fixes (mostly pertaining to the scrollbars).
