I'm on Windows, and when I try to go to the color theme tab, there is nothing. Maybe because on Windows we don' t have the KDE themes. I think a lot of people can't get themes on Windows and feel frustrated about that and don't take time to enjoy Kdevelop. It would be a grat idea to fix it to entertain the Windows scene. Although Kdevelop is working greatly on Linux, for example on my Manjaro flavor. I have found the issue. After digging through code, there is no fault with how the color themes are found. There is supposed to be a folder called "color-schemes" at "C:/Program Files/KDevelop/bin/data/color-schemes" filled with .colors files. These .colors files have been excluded from the Windows installation, so the menu shows up empty. I would also like to add that there might be a reason color themes have been disabled on Windows. Native UI elements don't conform to the theme, producing an uneven experience, however a fix is applicable using SetMenuInfo() and HBRUSH in the Win32 API. If one of the KDE developers could please implement these fixes (as I do not have a grasp on the KDE codebase), the entire Windows community would be very grateful. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 394622 *** > These .colors files have been excluded from the Windows installation, so the menu shows up empty.
Yes, right now the issue simply is: We don't package them on Windows (bug in packaging process).
