KDE Menu Color?

Postby yankee495 » Jan 17th, '14, 23:53

After searching and playing with the settings for over an hour I decided to ask. Google searches give you the advice to "Change your theme", genius!

Other say to edit the theme files...

I am in System Settings>Application Appearance>Colors and no matter what I change the Application Launcher background color doesn't change. I see nothing labeled Menu or anything close to that under Common Colors/View/Window etc.

I may have missed one but after changing a zillion things I give up.

Take a look under systemsettings -> workspace appearance -> workspace design -> details tab -> kickoff
There you can change the theme for each component separately. But seems to only apply to kickoff menu, not to classic one.

Classic one should change by one of the other points there.

Thanks Dok.
Talk about a Duh moment. The menu doesn't change unless you log out and back in. When I changed themes I didn't like the dark menu and logging back in made it the color of the theme.
I still don't know which one it is though to change the actual color and there is a setting, or used to be. I'll check it out some more and post it if I find the exact setting for menu color without changing the theme.
