The problem is caused by enabling Transparency in the Panel configuration: Appearance,
Panel Background, Enable Transparency.
When Transparency is enabled, the clock font then displays with an outline/shadow.
This does not happen in KDE. I can toggle Transparency in either mode in KDE and the clock
font remains normal.
Seems like a bug, but I'd like confirmation before filing a report in the bugzilla.
Additional info:
When I enable the date and day of week, that part of the
clock display does not contain a shadow or outline. Only the
time portion of the display.
I can toggle between Trinity and KDE and the outline/shadow
appears only in Trinity.
I installed the Trinity packages on a
system where KDE 3.5.10 was installed. I was careful
to
first manually remove the KDE packages before
installing the
Trinity packages.
I did not delete any user KDE profiles (~/.kde).
User accounts have the clock configured in the
kicker/panel
as Plain Clock (text) using the format H:MM a/pm.
Font
style
is Regular.
With some user accounts, the clock font seems to use
a
shadow or outline. Yet other accounts the font
text
looks
the same as in KDE 3.5.10 with no shadow or
outline.
Shadowing is not enabled in the Desktop configuration
options.
While not running Trinity, I deleted the clock config
file
from ~/.kde/share/config. Deleting the file did
not
eliminate the shadow/outline.
Any ideas what might be causing this behavior?
Thanks.
