Textbox size under Oxygen

Thu Feb 25, 2010 3:23 pm
Hello All

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this. I was wondering if it would be possible to make the text box bigger when using the Oxygen theme. Right now the cursor seems to touch the top and bottom of the text box. This may be a side affect of the blue highlight but I am not sure. I think that it looks a little better if there is a gap (maybe two or three pixels) between the top and bottom of the cursor and the top and bottom of the text box. When you use the GTK-Oxygen-molecule theme with gtk apps within KDE, their text boxes center the cursor and it looks a little better.

Just a thought,
Rodney

I suggest you file a feature request at bugs.kde.org, since this isn't possible at this time.

Thanks for the reply. I checked out the kdebase source and modified the oxygen lib. In the draw code, the rectangles were being adjust by 2 pixels or 5 pixels when drawing the LineEdit widget. If I change them all to zero's then I get the affect that I want, however this breaks the address bar in dolphin. I'm going to play around some more and see if I can find some happy medium. If I do, I will post some screenshots showing what I am talking about.

Just a quick tip but using the style Skulpture (obviously you are specific to Oxygen here but just thought it might be useful to throw this in) you are able to adjust the paddings and sizes of individual widgets.
