So I have discovered that there appears to be no way to change the colors of the task manager bar/panel in any of the system settings, or else the option is hidden somewhere as I have not been able to find anyone who has found a setting for it. I like the transparent bar, but I have a dark background and the black text of the task manager is unreadable. I just recently installed 12.1, I was using 11.4, and this wasn’t much of an issue before as at some point there was a glitch in the panel and it turned a gray color and never changed back so I could always see the text. This seems very odd that this capability is either not there, or very difficult to change, since linux/KDE is incredibly customizable in all other respects and you can change the color of practically everything else. Perhaps when I have time I will try messing around with it to make that capability, but for now I just need to find any way to change the color. I see that under the workspace appearance -> Desktop Theme -> Details you can change the whole color scheme for your theme, but I don’t want to change the whole color scheme, just that one color. Does anyone know how I might be able to modify the file that contains the color settings for a theme so I could change that one setting?
This is KDE 4.7
