Hi guys, with Nuno we are starting to design the new plasma theme for 4.2, of course this time won't be a total redesign like for 4.1, but just some tweaks here and there. a thing that however will look quite different is the taskbar theme, since there are some usability problems with the current one (hard to tell apart the focused task with the requesting attention ones) even it will be mostly just a changing the svg tipe of work it's a good occasion to take a look at the painting code. I wanted to make it look nicer, so would be easy to add some fancy effect that are neeever enough (well, sort of:p) in svn there is some new bling already...
aaanyways, the painting function it's really a mess because when i added the support for svg theming i decided to add a fallback for every element, so when it does not exist in the svg just paints a rounded rectangle, so the code is 80% manual qpainter cruft. now, would be interesting as a general rule how to behave in this cases, i think that just removing the fallbackswould make way more cleaner code. i kinda remember chatting with aaron on a similar situation (don't remember what was the theme/plasmoid in particular) was decided to just consider it a problem of who makes the theme to ensure all the elements are in what do you guys think?
