I don't understand the hype for transparency. From a usability standpoint I see no argument whatsoever that transparency should enhance your productivity or improve your workflow. Any element on top of another one is inevitabily more ditracting and takes longer to grasp than a single clean and well designed element. True, it's much more complex to design consistent and meaningful elements, panels, symbols and windows without any transparency.

Still I want to remove transparency from KDE 4.7 without disabling desktop effects alltogether. Since I don't find an opaque theme I would like to use (hints are welcome!) I want to disable the transparency within existing themes. How to do that?

thx for reading, p.
