           Summary: Konsole 2.x doesn't support temporarily switching the
                    color schema
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: fexpop onlinehome de


Version:           2.1  (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

In KDE4 Versions of Konsole it is not possible anymore to temporarily switch to a different schema.

I'm using this feature of Konsole 1.x very often for different reasons

1. Usually I've got lots of Konsole windows open at a time. Some with SSH sessions, some running calculations, some for system administration etc. The ability to give them a different color schema very easily from the  settings menu aids a lot in telling all the Konsoles apart, in differentiating the important from the less important etc.

2. On my Laptop I'm switching schemas depending on the lighting conditions.

The new way of putting it all in a profile makes using Konsole a lot harder for me. E.g., what used to be a 3-click action

Settings -> Schema -> Green on Black

has now become a 10+8-click action. 10 clicks creating a 'temporary' new profile and switching to it:

Settings -> Manage Profiles -> New Profile -> Appearance -> Green on Black -> OK -> Close -> Settings -> Change Profile -> New Profile

and 8 clicks deleting the temporary "New Profile" and switching to the old one:

Settings -> Manage Profiles -> New Profile -> Delete Profile -> Close -> Settings -> Change Profile -> Shell

Wow, that's real progress ;-)

So, please re-introduce the good old "schema" settings in Konsole 2.x.

BTW, I'm also missing the context menus right-clicking a tab.

Kind regards,

Felix
