There is, that's exactly what I did for 4.4. I listen for the global color 
scheme for 4.3 and it works as long as you have a kate scheme with the 
same/similar brightness as your global color scheme.

But of course it fails for bright global vs dark kate or vice versa. That's 
exactly what I try to fix, hence this very email.
