My point is I used to be able to have a 'light text on dark background' 
colorscheme for kmail (and knode) and use the more commenly accepted 'dark 
text on light background' global colorscheme. As using such an inverted 
colorscheme all over KDE results in numerous problems* (not much thought has 
gone into allowing these schemes to be used) I was using it only with 
specific applications (kmail, knode, kate etc). So, the problem lies in only 
being able to set the alternate background color on a global scale :(

What would be the best solution, making this alternate color configureable 
from kmail (knode, kate ...) as well ? Or (much harder) make adjustments all 
over KDE (possibly Qt) that allow the use of inverted color schemes better ?

* Some elements of the KDE look are expecting a light on dark colorscheme and 
look bad with inverted ones.
