kde4 alternate Background

[Martin Noeske]

Hi!
Hopefully this is not the wrong list:
(But..) i have a question about color-schemes.
On KDE3 i had on my "kdeglobals"
a line like:

[General]
alternateBackground=32,32,32

this is because of eye-handicapness and a white/black color-scheme. But
now it does not work anymore. So my Colors alternate between black/white
ande white/white each line on some/most programs, like dolphin/konqueror
for instance. How and where do you can change the color propertie of the
earlier so called "alternate Background". As far as i knew on kde 3
there was no menu for changin. The only was was to edit the "kdeglobals"
. But now it does not work any more.
sorry for bothering, but surfing on the internet with this scheme is
near to torture ;-)
Kind regards
Martin

Yes, color settings changed a little, as it seems. For one the config key
changed to BackgroundAlternate*, for the other it is no longer set in the
group [General] but is set explicitly for several view categories, see the
groups [Colors:*].

What is even best: You can finally edit them via the color settings:
start systemsettings->Appearance->Colors->Tab "Colors"->Select "View" (where
Common Colors is default)-> edit "Alternate Background" in the list

And yes, this list is close to wrong. Better try mailinglist "kde"
(http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde) for this type of questions next
time, you might get more and better answers there :)

Hope that helps
