Where in KControl is the TDE panel menu color controlled?
I can change the panel color and background image, but my menu color is gray. How do I change that to black(ish) with white text?
I am not much into themes so an extra clarification or two would be helpful.
Uugh...
Total guess, but I think menu background is controlled in kickerrc with, e.g. "TintColor=24,25,29" (which should be the same as the panel background color). I use a small gradient image for the panel, so the menu then gets a color of its own.
It could also be in kdeglobals (tdeglobals). If I recall correctly (and I may not), the foreground text color is just that selected in general desktop appearance.
It has been so long since I picked through every setting tweaking a dark theme, it's more of a fuzzy recollection now than a firm memory :)
I've attached the image file I use for the kicker background - for what it's worth. (yep, still dated the original create date 4 Mar 2011)
