Hi,

I just tried this style for the context browser:

http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=20777

So I started to play a little with this theme. I recognized some performance issues with the hover effects. \"top\" tells me, that the XFree binary is using up to 100% of CPU when moving the mouse just up and down the lists.

Because of with the shipped themes it\'s OK (besides the \"reinhardt\" theme, which takes 50% of the CPU on my system when moving the mouse over the lists), I started to remove almost all images from the stylesheet but with no effect on the CPU usage.

A really strange behaviour which probably needs more testing and I am not sure if this is a bug or just normal.
Maybe just keep an eye on it.

Cheers,
Marcel

I can\'t reproduce it on my computer (suse 9.1 & xorg 6.8.1). Try amarok 1.2.3, there was a bug in khtml that casued 100% cpu load in some systems.

Just compiling it at the moment. I will report back when it\'s done and tested again.

Hmm, no, I guess it is no KHTML bug, as the XFree86 process is eating all cpu time.
I am running Xfree 4.3.0 on Debian Sarge. Can anyone confirm this behaviour? I still have no time to look closer to this problem at the moment na dto fill (maybe) a bug report.

I find that theme somewhat laggy, so i switched.

I noticed that, too. But why is the reinhardt theme (and probably all other non default ones) more laggier than the default one?

Due to the background image. Slows down KHTML\'s rendering.

Maybe that\'s right, I thought the same and altered the theme by removing first the background image with no result at all.
Then I removed more images used within (almost all of them in the css file), but the hover effect still causes the XFreee process to have 100% cpu usage. Very, very strange.

The lag comes from the Transparent images used on hovering i think.
