That absolutely sounds like a problem, but AFAIK lightdm/wm's should have no impact on what colours kmail uses. I personally use no k*-apps, but aren't the colours configurable from within kmail? From what I've seen of the k-family, they tend to be pretty configurable. Maybe it uses some system-wide KDE/Qt setting, have you tried to look at that? If you can't find anything there, I would look for a kmail mailing-list and ask there. Failing that, I would suggest you switch to Claws Mail ;-) > 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. If there is, I haven't found it if you're still talking about lightdm, but in that case I'm afraid you're barking up the wrong tree :( > Looks like a false hope at this time & repo selection. Sorry I couldn't help. Petter -- "I'm ionized" "Are you sure?" "I'm positive."
