           Summary: Wish: Tool to select specific item to change its colour
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 4.1
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: eljefedelito at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

There are a lot of options for changing colours, but if I want to change (say)
the scroll bar, how do I know what one to pick?  Especially since different
themes use these colours differently.

I'd love for there to be a tool which acts like this:
1. Click the tool; mouse cursor changes to a brush or colourwheel or something
2. Use this new cursor to click the item (on ANY kde app) that is the colour
that you want to change
3. Colour Settings then highlights the appropriate colour in the list and opens
the colour picker dialog for that item.

I wanted to change my scrollbars and the background of Kopete away from a
previous green theme to a custom theme, but I've not found which colour from
the list affected either of these.  I've eventually changed them all but that
is not a good way to do it.

I am not entirely certain that this is even possible.  But it would be great.

Thanks a lot, KDE people, you rock hard all the time!
