mines background remains white under KDE

[Edward Cawi]

Binary package hint: mines.app

Under feisty and KDE (i386 architecture), when mines is run the game square backgrounds remain white instead of turning a darker color like they do when mines is run under Gnome.

You probably want to reassign this to the right gnustep-gui package.

I confirm this in Kubuntu 8.10 (i368).

The games suite on Kubuntu matching the desktop style is sgt-puzzles which aren't the same games as the gnome-games on Ubuntu. Check which game suite you are using by typing on a Terminal:
aptitude show sgt-puzzles gnome-games | grep State
Either suite can be installed on either Ubuntu edition. I assume the game is functioning correctly, it's just that you were expecting to see the same colors.

Sadly, gtk-qt-engine is a quite broken piece of software and has been removed from distribution. (See bug 404930)
Unfortunately this means that the large number of bugs will not be seeing fixes. :(

For now, the best integration option for KDE is the QtCurve style, (gtk2-engines-qtcurve) which offers a theme quite similar to the default Oxygen theme. The configuration module for gtk-qt-engine has been salvaged and is now living in the kcm-gtk package, which will be available and installed by default in Kubuntu 9.10.

Thanks for understanding. This package tried its best, but in the end did not live up to the standards required by anybody who doesn't like looking at a broken Oxygen imitation.
