The problem isn't one I cannot live with if I chose the correct theme, but
when running kmail under this window manager, 99% of them use so faint a
marker in the folder list to indicate which folder you are in that it
needs a concentrated stare to spot it, and if the msg list is aggregated
other than flat-by-date, there is so much of the same garish colors there
that I am unable to read the subject line of the currently displayed
message, the color totally overrides the textual content.
What I was hoping I could do was to make some minor edits in the best of
the lot to see if it could be further improved.
From the proliferation of available themes available, one would draw the
conclusion that there is an editor used by the producers of all these.
Looks like a false hope at this time & repo selection.
Thanks Petter.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
