Make values in attribute form better readable

Currently in readonly modus of a form, the line-edits get a 'disabled'-palette. But because text is then so light readability is bad. Removing the palette make the lineedits look like they are writable input fields. So to distinguish them from input field, the frame is removed and the background (of the lineEdit) is set to almost transparent.
