2. Improve appearance of plastik style mouse-over on scrollbar sliders.

0.69.0-KDE4

1. Add option to control whether bottom tabs should have their gradient shades inverted.

2. Config files now stored under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/qtcurve (e.g. ~/.config/qtcurve)

3. Fix some issue with 'flat' appearance.

4. Add an experimental option to hide/unhide menubars using Ctrl-Alt-M. Some applications, such as kcalc, do not save the menubar's state - and so this will be reshown when the apps starts. If this happens, edit ~/.config/qtcurve/stylerc and add application name to 'menubarApps', e.g:

    menubarApps=app1,app2,app3
   

5. Update versions of XBar menu files - taken from Bespin r652

6. Disable XBar support for KDevelop - as per Bespin.

7. Classic style for QWizzard.

14. Dont move icon in editable combobox when button pressed.

15. Remove nvidia arrow work-around. (Old plmasma and nvidia releases used to have re-draw errors with some arrows.) To re-enable this, use -DQTC_OLD_NVIDIA_ARROW_FIX=true at cmake time.

16. Fix shaded listview headers sometime being uninitialised.

0.69.0-gtk2

1. Add option to control whether bottom tabs should have their gradient shades inverted.

2. Config files now stored under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/qtcurve (e.g. ~/.config/qtcurve)

3. Fix some issue with 'flat' appearance.

4. Add an experimental option to hide/unhide menubars using Ctrl-Alt-M.

5. Respect double arrow setting for non-editable combos on more Gtk2 combo types. (Affects combos in pidgin.)

6. Colour arrows on mouse over of non-editable combos on more Gtk2 combo types. (Affects combos in pidgin.)

7. Fix disabled editable combos.

8. It has been reported that under intel Xorg drivers > 2.8, that QtCurve's arrows are not appearing. This seems to be due to the fact that QtCurve is using cairo to draw non-antialised lines in this case. To work-around this issue QtCurve has been changed to use the older Gdk to draw arrows. To revert back to cairo, use the following cmake option:

    -DQTC_USE_CAIRO_FOR_ARROWS=true

5. Dont draw window border/buttons into pixmaps when compositing is active.
6. Use KIconLoader to determine icon sizes - if compiled against KDE4.

8. Workaround some issues with window style and compositing - where parts of the frame are not updated.
