That display is just an HTML page, {TDE}/share/apps/konqueror/about/intro.html
(more or less--there's some docbook-related injection, I think, but that's the
base).
We're looking at, in part (whitespace collapsed somewhat in the interest of
brevity):
<div ID="header">
<div ID="headerL"></div>
<div ID="headerR"></div>
<div ID="title">Konqueror</div>
<div ID="tagline">Conquer your Desktop!</div>
</div>
There are two governing stylesheets for this file (on my system, they're
/usr/kde/3.5/share/apps/kdeui/about/kde_infopage.css and
/usr/kde/3.5/share/apps/konqueror/about/konq.css, but the locations
will be slightly different on a proper Trinity system). The relevant
bits here are:
#header {
background-image: url(top-middle.png);
width: 100%;
height: 131px;
}
from the first file and
#headerR {
width: 430px;
height: 131px;
background-image: url(top-right-konqueror.png);
}
from the second.
In other words, the stripe continues on through the right side of the header
because it's being displayed as the background of the enclosing element.
The easiest ways to fix this are to 1. provide an opaque background for
the headerR div (possibly not workable for this design) or 2. create a
headerCenter div to display the background. It's possible that a couple
of other pages from the same directory will need to be edited to match.
Oh, and, in general, I can adjust the header and sidebar in the webpage,
wiki, and bugzilla designs to match this better if we decide we want to
go for it.

Hi,
I think you understood well the situation.
This new design allow use of any picture as the background and it is something that I
would like to keep, if it is possible.
I don't know much about web programming, but I did it by comparing the differents
sections with the same file in KDE 4.10.
Would it be possible for you to provide the code for the header part, with a headerCenter
div?
If it is not possible at all, the solution that I would personally prefer is to drop that
rounded ribbon, just as in the first picture proposed in this post.
I also prefer brighter color in large areas such as the toned-down Crystal-fire picture of
the second proposal. It also looks more like classic 3.5.10 KDE, but it looses the
similarity with the new K menu side picture and the splash.
If this design end up being choosen, I a willing to modify the other similar pages in TDE.
As of now, I think that these are: Konqueror, TDE Control Center, Akregator and Help.
Thank you!
