Hi, thank you Kurt for the couraging words. At the moment the code resides at https://github.com/bunthut/Raibowkonsole<div><br></div><div>In the future there could be a featured to use just some readable combinations for example. Also at bluesky some people actually looked for a feature like that too, to be able to easily over look different terms.</div><div><br></div><div>At least the release should work on neon.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Thomas</div><div class="ik_mail_quote">

Hello, thanks for the email. 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>Hi all,</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>my name is Thomi (Berlin). I’m living with a chronic illness, so I might not always be very active on the list, but I’d still love to contribute something small and fun.</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>Background: cyber security / penetration testing, with coding experience. I’m getting into KDE dev now.</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>Project idea: **rainbowkonsole** – a tiny addon that applies a different Konsole color scheme each time a new session is opened (to keep the terminal a bit more lively).</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>Status: I have a working prototype on KDE neon (Qt6); a Qt5 build is not working yet. I’d appreciate pointers on:</div>
<div>- the best hook for “new session opened” in Konsole,</div>
<div>- whether this should live as a plugin vs. a small patch in Konsole,</div>
<div>- coding style / contribution guidelines for Konsole.</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>If helpful, I can share a repo link or a short diff. Thanks a lot for maintaining Konsole — it’s one of my daily essentials. Looking forward to your feedback!</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div>Thomi</div>
