the KDE colour palette is here:

	http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=Colors

but in this case you should be getting appropriate colours from the colour 
scheme... e.g.:

	palette()->color( QPalette::Active, QPalette::Highlight);

the text would then be:

	palette()->color( QPalette::Active, QPalette::HighlightedText);

there's a differences between making it user configurable and run time 
configurable. personally i find the current steps to be much too large and 
take far too much space away from the actual business are; less is more here.

 but really, this is an art issue. we should let the artists handle it. there 
can be a simple svg or three that you can find using kstandarddir's locate() 
function that would be used to paint a step. this will future proof it, allow 
distributions to make it fit with their other artwork, etc ...

some questions i have are:

 - what happens when there are more steps than space to show them all in that 
bar? 7 steps is already taking up a lot of space....

 - what happens when the number of steps change due to decisions taken by the 
user? (see the kopete add contact wizard for an example)
