Create shortcut to color scheme?

Sat May 25, 2013 1:14 am
Is it possible to create a shortcut to apply a color scheme (not theme) directly without having to dig into systemsettings? Or at least, is it possible create a shortcut directly to color schemes page in systemsettings? Or, can it be done in a script (dbus, etc.)?

The reason I ask is that I use my laptop in the field when observing (I'm an amateur astronomer) and I need to set the screen colors to a dark red scheme I created. I also put red Plexiglas over the screen but both it and the dark red color scheme are needed to be usable when dark-adapted. However, that red scheme is far too dark for daytime use. It would be extremely handy to be able to change the color scheme with a single click via an icon rather than firing up systemsettings, navigating through it, etc., etc.

Thanks!

This command should open a single dialog to allow you to configure the colour scheme:
Code: Select all
kcmshell4 colors
