Understanding Color Schemes

[gldvorak]

I am exploring how the colors are set. I am using Dolphin with a split view. On the active side the background color of the first line is set with [Colors:View] BackgroundNormal. On the active side the background color of the next line is set with [Colors:View] BackgroundAlternate. The same color is used for the same line on the inactive side. BUT the first line on the inactive line is set to a color that does not occur anywhere in the color scheme file!

I have checked several color schemes and this is always the case. The color of the inactive sides first lines background changes between the color schemes but does not appear anywhere in the file.

Thanks for any insight.

Hi, I'm not sure if this will help, but each of the plasma themes have their own color files too. The color you are looking for might be listed in them.

Color scheme locations:
/home/username/.kde/share/apps/color-schemes/
/usr/share/kde4/apps/color-schemes/

Plasma theme color file locations:
/home/username/.kde/share/apps/desktoptheme/.../colors
/usr/share/kde4/apps/desktoptheme/.../colors
