Editing Kate/KWrite/Kile syntax highlighting schema/theme

[molecule-eye]

I'm using the dark system theme called Obsidian Coast which is generally unproblematic, but in any editor that uses Kate (or katepart or whatever it is) there are some highlighting features that make things hard to read. E.g. in LaTeX markup all expressions filling in the ellipses of a \<command>{...} field are DARK BLUE. That makes it really hard to read on the charcoal background. And stuff in \section{...} is BLACK! (I don't want to change the background colors.)

Within the Font and Colors section there is no way to adjust these things. Is there a configuration file (e.g. in ~/.kde/share/config) for editing such things manually?

Mmm. Hve you tried ~/.kde/share/config/katerc ? I see a lot of relevant stuff there, things like
