Description Maciej Pilichowski 2009-09-19 08:34:56 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

The problem is, that with each KDE colors scheme change user has to change KDE apps colors scheme to make it "compatible" (visually). It is really tiresome.

I would suggest using KDE colors instead of defaults, i.e. simply by copying the value from let's say "unvisited link" to "unread message" instead hardcoded value. This _guarantees_ the colors would always look ok in akregator.

( Yes, I know, it would be better to have colors "unread", "new", "read" in KDE, maybe some day ).

If not, please provide algorithm which would separate colors on fly (when default colors are used). For example, if user sets background color to red (in KDE) akregator would shift color for "new" (default one) from red to light yellow (just an example).

IMHO the #1 solution is a way better and it is more easy to change it when KDE will add unread/new/read colors.

r1178008 should fix this I hope.
I'll backport to 4.5 and 4.4 too.
