Marble: Improve support for rendering of the BalloonStyle to cover bgColor

completed by: Levente Kurusa

mentors: Torsten Rahn, Dennis Nienhüser

  • Copy the 30-40 line example of the BalloonStyle kml code at https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kmlreference?hl=de#balloonstyle into a file called balloon.kml (don't mix this up with the Syntax example at the beginning of the paragraph)
  • open it in Marble and click onto the placemark, so that the webpopup opens
  • The webpopup should be tinted in blue however only a small rectangle of the popup is colored in blue.
  • Try to find out what goes wrong and make it fully work so that the bgColor is used to fully tint the webpopup background.
