Worse; I'm using a yellow-on-blue color scheme :-). (Actually it's based 
on what I remember being default for Borland's IDE a decade or so ago, 
that I've stuck with ever since.) To be fair, light colors are generally 
safe, but I'm getting obnoxious light-green backgrounds against yellow 
text on *some* (not all!) CMake variable names, which is totally 
illegible, and IIRC selecting the text doesn't help.

Thanks, maybe I'll look at it later. (Hint: KCU::contrastRatio will tell 
you if a given color is a Bad Idea... assuming katepart tells you what 
the background color is; if it doesn't, well, that needs to be fixed, 
like, a month ago ;-).)
