Description: This is the Oxyglass theme with some more customization and extra elements added. I understood from the Oxyglass original author, that this theme will be somehow adapted for the classic Oxygen theme in the future by the KDE development team, so, this theme may be obsolete in the near future... But, until than, here is what I made to expand the Oxyglass theme. The following differences are compared to Oxyglass 0.1: - Added theme for Analog Clock - Added theme for KRunner - Added theme for Lancelot Menu - Added theme for Lancelot Part and font is set to white color - Modified panel "to shine" only on the top part of it - Modified tray to respect transparency - Modified Logout screen ... but it seems like not respecting Oxyglass transparency (to be checked) - Maybe some other changes I can't remember right nowLast changelog:
systray icons have black background while rest of the panel is transparent ?!?

i know that there is problem with qt but other themes don't seem to have this problem constantly like this.
Can you show me a theme where tray icons don't have a square around them?
If you use 3D Effects, the square is semi-transparent, but I could find no way to hide it...
If you can point me to a theme where this was done, maybe I can find out how.
I checked Aya, unfortunately, I have bad new. It seem like the black rectangles are below the icon and the controllable color area.
If I make a background for systemtray with a solid color, the "black rectangles" are not visible. If I change the opacity of the background, "the black rectangles" are starting to show up... It looks like they are under the background, and a transparent background technically makes them visible ...
Sorry, I have no idea how to hide them and keep transparency in the same time.
I found out the root of the problem ... it's a QT bug, seems to be fixed in QT4.5. I've seen reports on clear background for system tray icons in Mandriva 2009.1 beta with QT4.5 RC and KDE4.2

I'm on KDE 4.2.1 built on QT4.5. Almost all icons look good now (ktorrent, kopete, etc). However, some other icons don't (opera). I suppose, all applications must be compiled with QT4.5 in order to offer transparent background in tray.
