[Digikam-devel] full color scheme theme support...

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi all,

Like you know, digiKam for KDE3 use color scheme theme to colorize interface
but only icon view and folder view are affected.

Looking how amarok handle color for theme to full interface, i have seen
than the solution is really very simple : QApplication::setPalette() !...
and that all (:=)))

It's portable to Qt4 without problem and without use new QStyleSheet...

Why not to use Stylesheet features from Qt4 ? Well after to have play with
it to test, it's work but in some case, give an instable code especially
with KDELibs4 widgets... I don't know why exactly...

Here, there is a patch to set digiKam color scheme theme to all widget
everywhere (editor, camera interface, kipi-plugins, etc...):

Of course, it's not yet optimized, because we need more digiKam color theme
entries to improve contrast everywhere...

The result with Desert theme can be seen here :

Very nice no ? It sound like few pro Aperture and Lightroom screenshots seen
over the web, like in this article :

What do you think about ?
Is this the right way to go ? ...like it's ask by Daniel in this bugzilla
entry :
