Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources 1. KTextEdit a; a.setReadOnly(true); 2. change color scheme in systemsettings 3. background color is still the same and btw katepart doesnt react on colorchanges either, even after kwrite restart
katepart has an annoying habit of remembering what the colors are, even if you haven't changed them. Fixing this should already be on the TODO somewhere. Note that katepart will, and should, remember the total color scheme as soon as you *do* make a change. We could also really use a 'reset to system colors' button (or else, a not-modifiable 'system colors' scheme)... (Please reassign back to kdelibs if I'm wrong in guessing that the KTextEdit you are using is indeed katepart...)
I confirm the bug. New info: for syntaxes that mix/add other syntaxes (like PHP that adds Doxygen), it wont change the PHP color if i change only the Doxygen color palette. It seems that Kate merge the them before and the relationship gets lost.
