[Digikam-users] Changing digiKam colours (KDE on Windows)

[Peter Shute]

Answering my own question, I configured KDE on windows to use the Oxygen theme instead of Windows Native, and that has fixed all the problem areas.  For those yet to try this, I edited C:\Documents and Settings\myprofile\Application Data\.kde\share\config\kdeglobals and added:
[General]
widgetStyle=oxygen

I have been trialling the Lightroom 3 beta, and was wondering why my photos seemed to look better with it than digiKam, then realised it was because of the dark background.  Maybe digiKam should have a dark background by default, I think it gives a much better first impression of the program.

I've changed from the default theme to Dark, but there are still some items that are very bright and distracting, e.g. scrollbars and some parts of some right sidepanels.

Is there a way to change these?  I suspect I must change a KDE theme, but does that mean all other programs will be affected too?
