"brushed exuberance"
A context browser style for amaroK, based slightly on Fnis by otey.
Makes use of brushed metal look quite exuberantly :)
Probably needs KDE > 3.5.1 to run smoothly. And looks best with kde baghira style.

0.5: allow width up to 500px; aligned album length; more consistent hovering; made conTEXT (script) box look better
0.4: fixed display errors for amarok < 1.4 (overlapping bug in home tab etc.)
0.3b: disc separator prettified
0.3: album's song list prettified; song separator was missing in suggested songs list
0.2: recently played tracks prettified
0.1b: made wikipedia links recognizable

I suspect it may be to do with using small images which repeat to cover the background. Maybe KHTML gets delayed over each time it has to render /images/background.png? (small image of brushed metal which matches Baghira when tiled; I think you used it unmodified as /images/back.png. IIRC I made it by cropping the background from the original Brushed Blue, which used a single large image because it didn't need to support scrolling).
Maybe making the image a bit bigger so it only gets rendered 2-3 times would make it render faster?
Do your other PNGs repeat at all?
Is it possible that in background.png I have used some stupid encoding option in Gimp which makes it take longer to render? I don't know much about the PNG format.
In any case, this is all hard for me to test because I get this problem only intermitently. Can someone who can reproduce the performance thing try my theme to see if it is affected too? Thanks a lot.

Maybe it's just that KDE 3.5.1 (KHTML) improves something in PNG rendering?

Please, anyone having the same issue, post your specs. Or any idea how this could be solved. (It's not the amarok version, I tried 1.3.8 now, and repaired some display bugs btw.).
