look of task manager font

Sun Jul 10, 2016 10:01 am
I want to change font color in MX Theme
https://www.kde-look.org/p/1118373/

I edited it but with Plasma Theme Explorer but some colors text gets blurred

Another example. Looks like there is a white shadow around font.

And it stays the same regardless of whether the window is minimized or maximized (active, inactive).
How can I make it looks sharp?

I don't know which element in Plasma Theme Explorer is responsible for this because I don't know what values from these options match the actual element that I can see on desktop
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/126089/file/2552/
Is there any documentation that describes what element correspond to what as seen on actual desktop?

Can you explain to me what are this elements for?

Is it described somewhere? Why elements on the left are narrower than elements on the right? What should be the distance between bottom and upper element? Where are the guidelines for this?

I looked at
https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma5/ThemeDetails
but is not very clear. It lacks important information.

What are the dots for?

Why one element is vertical while other are horizontal? Again, what should be the size of all elements?

What are these 4 + for?

Is this back frame around it necessary?

Where is the option to change font size and the font type (Arial or other)?

I wish I could be able to create theme for myself or be able to adjust some downloaded themes to my preference but I have no idea how to do it.
KDE team is doing a poll about KDE mission, for example whether KDE should go mobile or offer KDE web-based products / services while such basic issues are not handled appropriately. It is frustrating.

Shadow color

The shadow color seems to be hardcoded (black/white):

KDE-Look: https://www.kde-look.org/p/998746 ( obnosim comments )
--> Bug 357242 - Use theme-defined color for task label shadow: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357242
----> https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=plasma-desk ... tlabel.cpp
Code: Select all
    if (qGray(textColor().rgb()) > 192) {
        shadowColor = Qt::black;
    } else {
        shadowColor = Qt::white;
    }
