--- Comment #2 from PGillespie <vermontp...@gmail.com> --- Why would you want to blur your own wallpaper? 1.) The first answer is that I sometimes simply like the look of it. So. Aesthetics. Why allow someone to change icons? Global Themes? After all, one doesn't need anything other than the icons Plasma ships with. Different looking icons offer no tangible benefit. None. 2.) For the same reason that Google Gmail allows one to apply Gaussian Blur to a background image. I guess one could ask Google the same question. And obviously it's a useful and popular enough feature that A.) they introduced it and B.) they maintain it. The straightforward answer is that it makes text, appearing directly over a background image, more readable. For transparent themes without Gaussian blur, this is a nice way to accomplish the same effect. Wouldn't this just make it harder to see what it is? The point of background images isn't always "to see what it is", 3.) What's the use case? Precisely the same as the ability to change the Global Theme, Plasma Style, Application Style, Colors, Fonts and Icons. It's the same. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
