• The close button of taskbar tooltips will no longer prevent highlighting of a window.
• The tooltip hover will now be automatically visible only for the currently active window.

• Fixed smaragd's awkward maximised window rendering.

QoL changes:

The following graphical elements now have SVG textures for better scaling and more faithful design:

• System tray "Show hidden icons" arrow
• Show Desktop widget
• Start menu sidebar menu entries
• Start menu shutdown and lock buttons

SYSTEM TRAY:

• The size of system tray icons has been reduced to 16px.
• The size of the system tray popup menu has been reduced.
• The system tray popup menu has a new design which stands out from other dialogue menus. This style follows the colour scheme set by AeroColorMixer.
• System tray items will have a hover effect, as well as a press effect.
• The popup menu is now a floating dialogue menu.
• The system tray has updated icons.

DIGITAL CLOCK:

• The clock has a hover and press effect.
• The popup menu shares the same design as the system tray.
• The size of the clock popup menu has been reduced, making the calendar much smaller.
• The clock shows the current day, and long date at the top of the popup menu.
• The layout has been moved to make the calendar appear on the left, while events appear on the right and take up less space.

WINDOW DECORATIONS:

• The height of the window titlebar is now smaller.
• The horizontal offset of caption buttons is reduced past its minimum limit of 0. (CAUTION: Opening the window theme in Emerald settings will reset the horizontal offset back to 0. Reverting the horizontal offset back requires editing the theme configuration file manually.)
• Window decorations have sidebar glow effects.
• Window decorations have text caption glow.
• Window decorations have an incomplete reflection effect. (TODO: The effect does not update itself upon moving the window)

TASKBAR:

• The size of taskbar tooltips has been reduced, and hovering over a tooltip will show a highlighted rectangle.
• The size of taskbar items themselves are set to match the size of Windows 7 taskbar items.
• Taskbar item labels can be switched on or off on the fly in the settings, instead of having to change plasmoids completely.
• Taskbar items now have mouse hot tracking, which takes the dominant colour of the task icon.
• If the task icon is missing, it will be replaced by a generic icon.
• If the icon in question has a dominant colour with low saturation and lightness (greys, white and black colours), the dominant colour is then set to a predefined blue colour.
• The text sizes of taskbar tooltips have been greatly reduced.
• The task manager (KSysGuard) can be opened from the taskbar.
• The task buttons have an updated look for grouped tasks.
• Newly opened tasks will show an animation which fades out after a while if the application refuses to start. This feature needs more work.
• Tasks pinned to the taskbar now have a hover and press animation similar to the system tray and clock plasmoids.

START MENU:

• The Start menu button has three states: Normal, hover, and pressed.
• These states are configurable by the user, who can set icons, custom images files or bitmaps for each state.
• There is a smooth transition when changing between states.
• The Start menu follows the design of Windows 7's Start menu.

PLASMA THEME:

• Some buttons and tabs have a new and improved look.
• The highlight svg has an improved look.
• Solid dialogues have been added to make the system tray and clock plasmoids look distinct.
• The entire plasma theme is configurable via AeroColorMixer, which is able to change the colour scheme.
• Elements affected by AeroColorMixer are the panel, window decoration, dialogues and 'solid' dialogues.
• Replaced certain plasma icons with Windows 7 counterparts.
• Progress bars have an updated look and have more width.
• Task elements have a stacked+ prefix, which are used by the task manager to display grouped tasks.
• The 'busy' widget has an updated look.
• Most icons have been downscaled to 16px sizes.

MISC:

• The desktop has reduced icon sizes as well as reduced spacing.
• The general icon theme has been updated and improved in many areas. Work still needs to be done here.
• Kvantum has been added as an optional Qt visual style to replace QGtkStyle, although either one can be picked by the user.
• GTK 2 applications can also be themed to look like Windows 7.
