Color gradient problem in Banshee song information window

[PRGUY85]

When using Banshee 1.2.1 and having it minimalized on the taskbar, the information window displayed when hovering the mouse over the Banshee icon appears with wrong color gradient. The New Song notification appears with an appropriate light orange window yet the current song information appears just wrong. Image attached.

This is happening because Banshee uses the theme for the panel to display this info. But currently in the pixmap engine it is not possible to stretch the gradient image so that it fits different sized panels and such a situations. If you know somebody that can fix this in the pixmap engine or probably know where I can download the pixmap source code I can try to fix it myself.

This issue is not only in Banshee. In Mail Notification 5.4 the background of the "Add Mailbox" PopUp-Window has repeating pixmap gradient and wrong font colours.

This is not problem of New Wave. Please contact the creators of Mail Notification 5.x and ask them to use some better way to make their apps like the rest who are following the rules.

Hi Dilomo,

What theme engine you are using for your "New Wave" theme?
Is there no workarounds to avoid this pixmap error?

I like the scrollbars and icons. It's sad, that they don't display correctly in some apps.

I'm using the pixmap engine. All engines cannot stretch pixmaps for panels so probably that is the problem.

No workaround to fix this is known by me.
