Should I give > you screenshots about the not proper working to clarify what is my > problem? Should I report this as bug in bugs.gentoo.org? a clear description of the problem is absolutely vital. Here's how=20 your question goes: Q: KDE candy is broken A: No it's not You are going to have to put in the effor to be clear about what you=20= are saying, use the correct names for things (eg the theme name, not=20= "the original " - that's means very little) and probably screenshots=20= too if the query is about corrupted visuals. I suspect your setup is wrong. I have switched all my fancy effects=20 off and all shipped 4.6 themese work here. --=20 alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
