[Gambas-devel] Background colors in QT4 + Comments on the toolkit

>  large. I used the screen ruler and a set of manifying loops to read it
>  properly and  for example on a 10 point font height, 25% of the line in a
>  listbox is taken up by whitespace. Maybe there is a desktop setting to

>  an add for a laundry detergent but the whites are whiter and the blue's

> Overall the effect of different rendering the colors and (perhaps but I
>  havn't looked at it in detail the controls/angles/edges) is a much
>  harsher/cruder looking gui-interface. I guess the solution is to tone-down

Please provide some screenshots of what you are talking about. This is the 
fastest way for me to see if there is a problem or everything is normal.
