Created attachment 119268 [details] The screenshot of the proplem. SUMMARY In kwrite 18.12.3-1 on Manjaro linux, the variable color does not change in the ui if you change it in editor settings, in the settings accessible from Menu>Settings>Configure Editor>Fonts & Colors>Default Text Styles>Variable. I can change the formatting of the variable font (Bold, Italic etc.) but when I change the variable text color, it shows the chosen color in the preview rectangle but the color of the variable text stays the same dark blue color even if you hit apply or choose a new schema. It works properly for any other types of text. This all happens in a fish shell script file.sudo STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open up kwin, enter Menu>Settings>Configure Editor>Fonts & Colors>Default Text Styles 2. Change the variable color, click OK and apply. OBSERVED RESULT The variable color in the editor UI stays the same. EXPECTED RESULT The variable color changes accordingly. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro Linux 18.0x , plasma-desktop 5.15.3-1. (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0 Qt Version: 5.12.2
Confirmed on kwrite from git master. Colour will not change even after restarting kwrite.
I tried this with KDE Frameworks KTextEditor version 5.76. (that framework provides this) The UI is nowadays a bit different, you need to copy the default shipped themes in it to modify them. And yes, after modification, this is directly picked up.
