           Summary: Improve the schema editor
           Product: konsole
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: pfremy at noos.fr


Version:           1.2 (using KDE 3.1.0)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.1 20021207 (Gentoo Linux 3.2.1-20021207)

The concept of konsole schema is just great. However, the current schema editor has the following usability problems:
1. it is difficult to have an idea of what all the colors of the schema looks like.
2. it is difficult to tweak them.

One of the problem with 1. is that the current schema is not applied to the current konsole, which has been fixed. However, even with the fix, it is difficult to know if all the colors of the schema render fine because you usually don't have all of them displayed in a konsole.

The remedy for this is to display all the colors of a scheme in a column. It would be possible then to change them by simply clicking on them.

I realise there is a whole usability issue with all this dialog. I am going to discuss this with the usability team and try to provide you a .ui summarizing a possible better arrangement.
