Hey all.

I was just wondering, is there any way to clean up the edges of tooltips/extenders
when composite is disabled?

I'm running KDE4.2 on a fairly old (IBM Thinkpad r50e) laptop with only a 855GM graphics chipset.
composite works but there's a fair performance hit when enabled.

I've now decided to run it without the fancy effects but keep finding that themes have ugly borders on tooltips/extenders.

Examples...

Is there an easy fix or do I need to fire up inkscape and tinker with the images myself?

Cheers

If the Plasma theme itself doesn't do pixelart rounding in its non-composite theme then you will probably have to open the files up in Inkscape. :(
