It's possible to customize plasma notes background (beyond "white", "black", "red", "orange", "yellow", "green", "blue", "pink", "translucent")?
I tried to modify something in /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.notes/ but without success ...

EDIT

It should be so easy to modify the background, as long as the plasma notes are html files, so easily modifiable via css: why not do so, I ask? Why modifications made are always rejected by KDE plasma? Customization is important!

EDIT

Modified, but unsuccessfully, main.qml

Code: Select all

  style: PlasmaStyle.TextAreaStyle {
  //this is deliberately _NOT_ the theme color as we are over a known bright background
  //an unknown colour over a known colour is a bad move as you end up with white on yellow
  textColor: plasmoid.configuration.color === "black" ? "#dfdfdf" : "#202020"
  backgroundColor: plasmoid.configuration.color === "yellow" ? "#c7c5bd" : "#c7c5bd"    // row added       
  }


Thank you

Another option could be to create your own desktop theme which overrides the notes backgrounds. It looks like they are defined in the theme's widgets/notes.svg file (see /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/default/widgets/notes.svgz).

Thank you. But notes.svgz doesn't seems a plasma note (plasmoid widget): is it?
If it's so, could you tell me how should I do? There is a guide?

Theme elements are for the most part defined using SVG images (svgz just means it's also compressed). You'll need either an image editor which handles vector graphics like Inkscape, or since svg is an xml-based format you can open them up in a text editor and edit the xml directly.

There's a tutorial for making your own plasma theme at: https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tu ... sma4/Theme
