The "cancel" on the initial dialog box implies a QString::null (if i remember correctly), and the subsequent code tries to open the file with that name (no safety code here). that's why it crashes..
I'll try to do something about scrollbars, but i must admit i'm not entirely sure how to paint it and that's why i'm looking fr help from a "pro" :)

imho one should adopt a more positive attitude (along the lines "I don't like this so I'll make my own" in this case)... - Mar 24 2004

Some examples of entries are:
"OS X" , QString("0, 1, 16.0, 192.0, 2, 4, 0"));
"Windows XP" , QString("1, 1, 32.0, 139.0, 2, 4, 0"));
"Soft outline" ,QString("0, 0, 4.0, 170.0, 1, 4, 0"));
- the first 2 entries are x,y offsets (0,0 means right behind the text).
- following two determine the halo (factor, max opacity).
- thickness (how large the halo is
- selected algorithm (4 is the only implemented and probably will be removed
in 3.2)
- selection (inverse video or use the background text color) - boolean 0/1

1. remove all the objects (make clean) in kdesktop
2. check Makefile.am sources and add the files by hand.
Also, you may want to check if there's a Makefile.am.rej lying around somewhere... - Aug 12 2003

("OS X"): "0, 0, 1, 16.0, 192.0, 2, 4, 0"
("Windows XP"): "1, 1, 1, 32.0, 139.0, 2, 4, 0"
("Soft outline"): "2, 0, 0, 4.0, 170.0, 1, 4, 0"
Just replace the "schema" line in kdesktoprc" and refresh the desktop. I do it having a "set background open" and hitting "apply" after manually changing something (after checking/unchecking a box to enable it). This will send the dcop message to the desktop and tell it to read from the file again.

kdelibs should patch with kde 3.1.x without problems. Then libkonq and kdesktop should patch cleanly too. The only bit is the frontend which is different in 3.1 series. ...and i'm working on that :)
Then, theoretically, you should be able to use the config file generated already in 3.2 :) - Jun 23 2003

+ShadowEngine::ShadowEngine(ShadowItem *fx) :

the m_shadowItem(0L) was missing so if the location was not 0L, the setItem() would try to delete it... - Jun 23 2003

To be honest, I think you should have placed the message in the general discussion list. My patch doesn't really deal with this kind of things. It's just ammending the way things are drawn on the desktop (which is a sort of iconview...) - Jun 18 2003

However, your politically correctness is actually cancelled just few words after you state it :). Instead of slagging, you could have posted me the message as other people did and/or make a better patch. Obviously you know how. - Mar 13 2003

I'd rather have it hidden (as other feats in kde are) and per-distro set. Anyway, I don't think most users would configure the shadow type more than 1-2 times (if ever), especially because it requires to have the font configuration panel open as well (different shadows look better with different fonts and aliasing settings)...
Just my 2c :) - Mar 13 2003

Unfortunately, it looks like kicker control section has a link to background/libbgnd.la instead of kdeui/kdefx. Try going in kcontrol/background and do a "make clean all".
It should fix any problems.
I'd go recompile kdebase from scratch, but that's me :)

What do you mean "file manager"? I think adding the effect in konqueror is rather extreme :). However, it can be done by moving all the fx stuff from kdesktop to libkonq (I think) (or kiconview in kdelibs/kdeui).
As for the patch, please do! :) you can send it to me @ laurivan*at*eircom.net and i'll have a look... - Feb 12 2003

3.1 is frozen now and I still have few more bits to do on the patch to check the font's color and do an "inverse video" for the shadow.
maybe after 3.1 (3.1.1?). I'm still waiting for more feedback on how configurable this should be... :) - Jan 27 2003

On the kicker I think it's "Verdana". Both come standard with MS Win. Verdana I think is free and it can be found on sourceforge. - Jan 27 2003

imho per-desktop handling is a huge development task with relatively little usability gain. The halo should solve the different backgrounds problem elegantly enough.

I'd appreciate though if anyone has a kde cvs and could compile kdeui with the change from the above descrption and tell me if it keeps binary compatibility :) - Jan 23 2003
