Description Lorenzo Bettini 2024-03-14 13:59:22 UTC 
SUMMARY

Since the switch to KDE Plasma 6, Kate uses a too light grey for printing text files: the result is almost unreadable on printed paper


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open a text file with Kate
2. print it

OBSERVED RESULT

The text is printed on a very light grey

EXPECTED RESULT

The text should be printed as black as it was before

Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.2.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Printing i a mess and uses and modifies even parts of the current view colors, that will need fixing.

Yes, I forgot to mention that it also modifies the current view colors.
I seem to understand there's a property in katerc for specifying the Printing color scheme, but I find no way of setting that from Kate, and manually setting in katerc doesn't seem to do anything.
