Re: [kde] Is there a way to get a kde3 color scheme into kde4?

Thank you ;-).

When I asked about the color scheme, I was actually thinking about the
active kde3 scheme, not importing from say kdelook or the like.

Hmm... given that we can't know what $KDEHOME for KDE3 is, that, as you
say, is the hard part.

1) A UI element (popup, label, whatever) suggesting the default user
paths to look in, ~/.kde(n.n)?/share/apps/kdisplay/color-schemes for
kde3, or search for *.kcsrc, a bit shorter ~/.kde(n.n)?/share/apps/color-
schemes for kde4, *.colors.

Given what Import does, I'm not sure where, or if, such a UI element
should be placed. This sounds somewhat more like fodder for
documentation (userbase.kde.org?). Would that be sufficient?

(In fact, you don't want to import from
$KDEHOME/share/apps/color-schemes, unless it is the $KDEHOME of another
user/machine. Stuff there is already loaded :-).)

If there was some sort of button to push for help on where to look,
or even just what extension to look for (setting the filetypes filter
to *.kcsrc; *.colors, for instance), that would help IMMENSELY. =:^)

/me makes mental note to add file types, not sure why we don't have that
already...

2) Being able to extract the info from an existing kdeglobals would be
useful as well.

Out of curiosity, what happens if you try to import the kdeglobals from
your KDE3 $KDEHOME?
