Hi!

The work on new guidelines for fonts and colour  use in KDE4  isalmost 
finished. I have received some more helpful comments from Kenneth that I 
still need to merge into the document:
http://amen-online.de/~olafschmidt/colors/

While discussing this with him and Danny Allen on IRC, I realized that the 
suggested default colours in the current draft of the document do not have 
enough contrast for accessibility. I have therefore written a PHP script to 
objectively evaluate the colour contrast of the Oxygen palette, and then 
defined a new suggestion for the default colours in KDE4:
http://accessibility.kde.org/oxygen.php

Of course I am interested in hearing feedback from artists on this.
To make testing of the suggested settings possible, I am attaching two files:

1. Most colours can be tested by copying KDE4.kcscr to  
~/.kde/share/apps/kdisplay/color-schemes and then selecting the "KDE4" colour 
scheme in kcontrol.

2. For seeing how the new colour roles could be used for syntax highlighting 
in KDE4, colorscheme-kate needs to be attached (not with kwrite or kate, but 
with some other editor like kedit) to the file 
~/.kde/share/config/katesyntaxhighlightingrc
Then you need to select "KDE4" in the Kate colour settings, to switch on 
syntax highlighting and to open an adequate file.

Olaf
