Proposal for moving KColorScheme from KConfigWidgets to KGuiAddons

[Andreas Cord-Landwehr]

Thanks, that's actually the consequence I completely oversaw...
With this in mind, I am coming to the same conclusion. Considering the 
alternatives, the only somehow reasonable solution IMO would be  to move 
KColorScheme "up" to KIconThemes. However, that place looks similar "unfitting" 
for that class IMO. And Secondly, it would drag the KIconThemes dependency for 
all of the many places where KColorScheme is used... So, I am not sure if it 
would be worth the effort.

Thus, let's discard my proposal.

Cheers,
Andreas
