Description Marc Haber 2012-09-23 07:17:37 UTC 
Hi,

this is surely a dupe, but the search function didn't turn up any, so I probaby searched incorrectly.

Some of the background colors chosen by the "black on random light" color scheme come around really ugly on my display, and I would like to disable them.

Please make the list of colors to choose from for the "black on random light" color scheme configurable. This does not need to be fancy, a text area listing the RGB values (#aabbcc) of the colors or even a list editable in .kde/share/apps/konsole would be fine with me.

Greetings
Marc


Reproducible: Always

Well, the background in "BlackOnRandomLight.colorscheme" is currently really random. It is controlled like this:

    [Background]
    Color=247,247,214
    MaxRandomHue=340
    MaxRandomValue=[0~255]
    MaxRandomSaturation=[0~255]

Refer to Qt Doc[1] for a simple explanation of Hue, Value and Saturation.

So it is configurable in some sense, but it is not friendly or suitable for the need of a list of predefined candidates.

The file to change is:

.kde/share/apps/konsole/BlackOnRandomLight.colorscheme

If the color chosen is really random, then a function to create a new random background color would be nice.
