Kate: Importing color schemes from other software

Mon Dec 16, 2013 5:54 am
Is it possible to import color schemes from other software, in my case Notepad++? I have been trying to set up Kate with the color scheme I had with Notepad++, but I am having a hard time getting all of the items set up to the correct colors. Here are three samples (sorry some lines wrapped):
Code: Select all

I'd love to have the color schemes I had in Notepad++ for those three types.

Re: Kate: Importing color schemes from other software  Topic is solved

I don't know of any extant scripts or anything that will do the conversion automatically, and it certainly isn't a simple problem as different highlighting engines use different names for the same things and there usually isn't a 1-1 mapping.

That said, the config files are in ~/.kde(4?)/share/config, in particular kateschemarc has some of the general items like background color, highlight color, current line, search and replace highlighting, and font; and katesyntaxhighlightingrc has the syntax type metadata (takes up the first 4300 lines in mine) followed by the syntax highlighting information for the different syntaxes in each of the color schemes.
If you are well-versed enough in scripting you could probably throw something together to map the notepad++ names to the kate names.
