Please don’t be discouraged by the lack or timeliness of replies.<div> Typically the main issue is readability with color schemes. If the the colors are randomly picked, I don’t think that is feasible. If you are referring to allow a profile to randomly select any color scheme, then that would be possible.</div><div> Please provide a link to your work or create a merge request for Konsole (https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole) . This should be possible as a patch to Konsole. Also don’t bother with Qt5 as all of KDE is now Qt6.</div><div><br></div><div><div style="display: block;"><div style="-webkit-user-select: all; -webkit-user-drag: element; display: inline-block;" class="apple-rich-link" draggable="true" role="link" data-url="https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development"><a style="border-radius:10px;font-family:-apple-system, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;display:block;-webkit-user-select:none;width:300px;user-select:none;-webkit-user-modify:read-only;user-modify:read-only;overflow:hidden;text-decoration:none;" class="lp-rich-link" rel="nofollow" href="https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development" dir="ltr" role="button" draggable="false" width="300"><table style="table-layout:fixed;border-collapse:collapse;width:300px;background-color:#236EA0;font-family:-apple-system, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" class="lp-rich-link-emailBaseTable" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="300"><tbody><tr><td vertical-align="center"><table bgcolor="#236EA0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="300" style="table-layout:fixed;font-family:-apple-system, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;background-color:rgba(35, 110, 160, 1);-apple-color-filter:initial;" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:8px 0px 8px 0px;" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStackItem"><div style="max-width:100%;margin:0px 16px 0px 16px;overflow:hidden;" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStack"><div style="word-wrap:break-word;font-weight:500;font-size:12px;overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis;text-align:left;" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStack-topCaption-leading"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development" style="text-decoration: none" draggable="false"><font color="#FFFFFF" style="color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.847059);">Get Involved/development - KDE Community Wiki</font></a></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word;font-weight:400;font-size:11px;overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis;text-align:left;" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStack-bottomCaption-leading"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development" style="text-decoration: none" draggable="false"><font color="#FFFFFF" style="color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.54902);">community.kde.org</font></a></div></div></td><td style="padding:6px 12px 6px 0px;" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-rightIconItem" width="30"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development" draggable="false"><img style="pointer-events:none !important;display:inline-block;width:30px;height:30px;border-radius:3px;" height="30" draggable="false" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-rightIcon" alt="180x180.png" src="cid:65E9BD58-9ABC-490D-A22F-B01830E8B881"></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></a></div></div></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div> Kurt<br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfMessage"><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Sep 10, 2025, at 7:13 AM, Thomas Lorkowski <thomi@etik.com> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div><div><br></div><div>Hi all,</div><div><br></div><div>my name is Thomi (Berlin).
