[digiKam-users] Change color of thumbnail frame & checkbox frame?

[Jens Benecke]

Hi,

I created my own "Breeze Black & Blue" color theme which is *really* 
dark but has bright (Neon) elements in it, I can share it if somebody 
tells me how to export it from the KDE color settings ... :-)

I would really appreciate a configurable thumbnail border color, and a 
checkbox border / background color which is visible when using dark themes.
I'm willing to help design this color scheme and find the optimum color 
combinations.

Thanks!

Jens
