Attachments: 'Dark Pastels' color scheme for KDE 4 based on Zenburn

Description Francisco 2008-04-15 11:45:47 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I would like to request you to consider the inclusion of the Zenburn color scheme in Konsole's default set of color scheme.

[...]

I recently came across Zenburn http://slinky.imukuppi.org/zenburn/. Which is IMHO a very well thoughtout color scheme made for Vim, and that has been spreading to other applications.

This is a Konsole scheme based on it: http://termos.vemod.net/zenburn-for-konsole

This color scheme strikes me as:

1. a much better composed color scheme than most of the variations shipped by default by Konsole;

2. fairly different from the default color schemes, so that its inclusion in the konsole defaults would actually add something new to the color scheme collection.

[...]

I am neither the author of Zenburn, nor of its Konsole scheme. 

I am just a full time programmer using konsole quite often, and relieved to have found out about this color scheme.

'Dark Pastels' color scheme for KDE 4 based on Zenburn

I like it.  Some of the colors do not work well for me though.

- The intense green (which is used by 'ls' to represent executable files) is a
beige color which is not easy to see against the foreground
- The plain blue (which I use as a prompt color) is too dark against the
background.

SVN commit 798584 by knight:

New color scheme 'Dark Pastels'.  This is a softer alternative to Black on White or
Linux colors.

It is a very slightly modified version of Zenburn, originally made for
Vim by Jani Nurminen and later adapted for Konsole/KDE 3 by Christoffer Sawicki.
