Hi dear KDE fans!
I enjoy KDE 4.7-4.9 last 4 years and I've migrate to KDE 4.14.2 a few days ago
I could ask a question about KDE 4.14.2 (jessie 8.4, NVIDIA Driver Version: 352.79).
The panel in Air theme in 4.14 is defferent from one in 4.9: 4.9 was translucent and not too transparency (as a glass). I have files from 4.9 /usr/share/kde4/apps/desktoptheme. But if I replace new versions of those files with old ones this has no any affect/result.
how panels could be backed from 4.9?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your detailed reply.
It is work for widgets but does not work for panels. Maybe some settings conflict with each other?
There are some other bugs in KDE because of previous (created in KDE 4.9) configuration files.
Previous configuration files were deleted. It is fixed some bugs. I'll describe the rest in a new post.
Frosty Air theme could be used as a replacement of Air 4.84. Frosty Air is a little bit different from 4.84.
So this post should be marked as solved.
