Would "setBackgroundHints" is the wrong name for the function (OOP = method IIUC) be considered to be a bug? IMHO, it should be called "setBackgroundType". Perhaps Canadian really is a different language. :-) Problem is that I am looking for "setBackgroundAttributes" but thought that hints might be it. There needs to be a per widget configuration setting for widgets that use a translucent background so that it can be controlled like it is in KDE3. The fact that this is missing is a serious usability issue in FolderView. It is nice to have the translucent background, but you do need to be able to read the names of the folders and/or files. Is there a bug for this yet? -- James Tyrer Linux (mostly) From Scratch ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
