Description Natalie Clarius 2022-09-19 15:21:16 UTC
It would be nice if there was a way to make the Konsole color scheme the system color scheme in that it would automatically adapt to light/dark mode. Either with a "Follow System Color Scheme" theme like Kate has, or by manually selecting one light and one dark scheme and an option to automatically switch between the two based on the Plasma scheme.

Agreed. Kate does indeed have this and it's quite nice.

This would probably have the be implemented by making one of the terminal color schemes follow the system colors, instead of having colors of its own. That's what Kate did. Konsole could do it too, perhaps for its "Breeze" color scheme

@nate That's a good suggestion, but would probably require big changes in the .colorscheme file layout before it could support light/dark modes, right? Would it not be an option instead to allow users to configure their own preferred light and dark themes, right in the konsole settings? I think that's what iTerm2 on Mac OS does, and it adds the option for users to pick which light and dark colour schemes they prefer.

Slightly off-topic, but the ability to change Konsole colour themes inside Koi has been discussed too (https://github.com/baduhai/Koi/issues/4), but sadly has been closed. Koi, for those who don't know allows setting a schedule (based on time or location) on which to change KDE/Plasma themes from light to dark mode and vice versa. Currently, Konsole is the only native KDE application that won't change colourschemes along with the rest of the desktop.
