Hi All,

Just finished a mammoth KDE update session and upon firing up Kmail I noticed
that the fields for To: , CC: and BCC: are flat white boxes, without the
border on the top & left edges. The Subject: field has kept its border.

Has something gone wrong with my emerge, or is this an intended change of the
KDE decorations (or artwork, or whatever the responsible package is called).
Do you get the same?

I attach a small snapshot as words may have failed me in describing it
adequately above.

It appears to be an artifact of the current Keramik theme you are
using - I get the same here, but Plastik theme does display correctly

You mean you get the same when you set up your theme as Keramik, right?

Is this a bug? Do I live with it until KDE-4 becomes stable? It's amazing
how silly little things bother us when get set in our ways. ;-)

PS. Just messed up my KDE Style now and all my fonts are small and blurry!
Which file(s) should I restore from a back up to bring my theme/style back?

none.
Just open kcontrol, 'appearance (I guess)', fonts.

Yes that's right.

It doesn't appear to be a bug, it appears to be two different kinds of
text-entry widgets. By coincidence, the difference seems most
noticeable on styles that don't use rounded corners for text-entry
boxes.

Phase and Keramik are very noticeable, Klearlooks and Plastik less so.
Why two different text entry types? Well, To: and CC: have that
text-completion feature, and Subject: doesn't.

I don't have a non-Gentoo machine handy to compare with though

It'll be in ~.kde3.5/share/config I imagine, but I have no idea where.
What I would do is run kcontrol, make some changes to the font
settings, then run find on that dir looking for files with an mtime in
the last 2 minutes

Darkening the window background colour shows up the fields. I guess it'll all
be fixed by KDE-4.

I think I've got it back where I wanted it. Only one, well two things. The
font of the Favorite Folders is in italics. How do I straighten them up? I
can't see an appropriate category under the Fonts selection in the Theme
Manager.

Finally, the header frame for signed messages is now collapsed until I click
to on it say Show Details. When expanded it shows "No Audit Log available" -
what's that all about? How can I keep it expanded?


Thanks for your answers. :-)
