Thanks for report, i did not remember to export in time, will add this file soon.

Not all qtcurve users have kde, however, or like to start kde systemsettings in lightweight environments (lxde, xfce). - May 03 2013
Looks like problem of untransparent window background is applied for all windows. When i tried to set such gradient to window background, its header looked transparent, but window body did not. - May 03 2013
I posted it in this subtheme, because sure, it may relate to some common problem.

When i worked on plain glowing theme for dark color schemes, which uses Simple shading mode and controls, whose custom gradients consist of pure white color with transparency ≈10—30%. For buttons such gradients look as expected, but for tooltips it is just a white. Though it is not good, and 150% brightness with 40% alpha should be good as well (due to inability of first solution to follow color scheme), it just showes, that tooltip are drawn on some own, old way, responsible for both problems. - May 03 2013
I tried to use this feature to texturize background:
http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=158464
But since image is placed only in single instance, i was forced to multiply it by size to ensure, that it will cover entire window.

Anyway, feature to set image as background overlay, instead of background itself is great. - May 03 2013
Last time searching for solution of ugly borders with rounded tooltips, i noticed, that switching its style to something other than flat makes it candy, but without border. It would be nice to draw it like for popup menu (which seems to be border of all widgets). - May 03 2013
Production Curve

I got confirmation for problem with background texture, which is not used when theme is installed.

To fix situation - copy texture to ~/.config/qtcurve dir and rename to style-bgnd.png. - Mar 29 2011
Hi. I noticed this bug when tried to setup transparent texture, adding brushed metal like look, keeping same color.

When this is enabled, background color is not drawn for decoration - there is just emptiness, completely transparent area. In order to avoid this, i have to use opaque image, snaping self and users for one color scheme.

For example, try this texture:
http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=140214

Open source in gimp and just disable background layer before to export png or jpg.

Packages:
kwin-style-qtcurve and kde-style-qtcurve 1.8.5
gtk2-engines-qtcurve 1.8.6
qtcurve 1.8.5

Currently i have these two themes, where opaque image is used (though in first, for popup menu, transparent version is used):

Being transparent, they have shadow, which look awful without compositing. Can anyone help to remove them? - Jan 28 2011

Somewhere in this site is libargb module for gtk2, but it crashes some apps.
In order to fix this issue I disabled libargb and defined 99% transparency for "any" windows. - Dec 06 2009
