Hi David, thanks for the insight! The program would be ideal. However, it depends on KDE libraries. If an application links to KDE anyway, it can simply use the KDE platform theme. Users of QKdeTheme are e.g. applications that don't link to KDE, because they need to run on Gnome environments as well. If we wanted to propagate palettes to QKdeTheme, we would have to read them directly from settings without having to link to KDE.

I've written very small program that prints the resulting QPalette from color schemes. The output for BreezeLight and BreezeDark is as follows: /usr/share/color-schemes/BreezeLight.colors QPalette(resolve=0x7ffdffffefffff7f,"WindowText:[Active:#ff232629,Disabled:#ffa0a1a3,Inactive:#ff232629],Button:[Active:#fffcfcfc,Disabled:#fff0f0f0,Inactive:#fffcfcfc],Light:[Active:#ffffffff,Disabled:#ffffffff,Inactive:#ffffffff],Midlight:[Active:#fff6f7f7,Disabled:#ffebedee,Inactive:#fff6f7f7],Dark:[Active:#ff888e93,Disabled:#ff82878c,Inactive:#ff888e93],Mid:[Active:#ffc4c8cc,Disabled:#ffbbc0c5,Inactive:#ffc4c8cc],Text:[Active:#ff232629,Disabled:#ffaaabac,Inactive:#ff232629],ButtonText:[Active:#ff232629,Disabled:#ffa8a9aa,Inactive:#ff232629],Base:[Active:#ffffffff,Disabled:#fff3f3f3,Inactive:#ffffffff],Window:[Active:#ffeff0f1,Disabled:#ffe3e5e7,Inactive:#ffeff0f1],Shadow:[Active:#ff474a4c,Disabled:#ff474a4c,Inactive:#ff474a4c],Highlight:[Active:#ff3daee9,Disabled:#ffe3e5e7,Inactive:#ffc2e0f5],HighlightedText:[Active:#ffffffff,Disabled:#ffa0a1a3,Inactive:#ff232629],Link:[Active:#ff2980b9,Disabled:#ffa3cae2,Inactive:#ff2980b9],LinkVisited:[Active:#ff9b59b6,Disabled:#ffd6bae1,Inactive:#ff9b59b6],AlternateBase:[Active:#fff7f7f7,Disabled:#ffebebeb,Inactive:#fff7f7f7],ToolTipBase:[Active:#fff7f7f7,Disabled:#fff7f7f7,Inactive:#fff7f7f7],ToolTipText:[Active:#ff232629,Disabled:#ff232629,Inactive:#ff232629],PlaceholderText:[Active:#ff707d8a,Disabled:#ffc2c8ce,Inactive:#ff707d8a],Accent:[Active:#ff3daee9,Disabled:#ffe3e5e7,Inactive:#ffc2e0f5]") /usr/share/color-schemes/BreezeDark.colors QPalette(resolve=0x7ffdffffefffff7f,"WindowText:[Active:#fffcfcfc,Disabled:#ff686a6c,Inactive:#fffcfcfc],Button:[Active:#ff292c30,Disabled:#ff272a2e,Inactive:#ff292c30],Light:[Active:#ff393e43,Disabled:#ff383d42,Inactive:#ff393e43],Midlight:[Active:#ff2e3337,Disabled:#ff2d3136,Inactive:#ff2e3337],Dark:[Active:#ff131516,Disabled:#ff121415,Inactive:#ff131516],Mid:[Active:#ff1c1f21,Disabled:#ff1b1d20,Inactive:#ff1c1f21],Text:[Active:#fffcfcfc,Disabled:#ff606263,Inactive:#fffcfcfc],ButtonText:[Active:#fffcfcfc,Disabled:#ff6d6f72,Inactive:#fffcfcfc],Base:[Active:#ff141618,Disabled:#ff131517,Inactive:#ff141618],Window:[Active:#ff202326,Disabled:#ff1f2124,Inactive:#ff202326],Shadow:[Active:#ff0e0f10,Disabled:#ff0d0e0f,Inactive:#ff0e0f10],Highlight:[Active:#ff3daee9,Disabled:#ff1f2124,Inactive:#ff1b4155],HighlightedText:[Active:#fffcfcfc,Disabled:#ff686a6c,Inactive:#fffcfcfc],Link:[Active:#ff1d99f3,Disabled:#ff164160,Inactive:#ff1d99f3],LinkVisited:[Active:#ff9b59b6,Disabled:#ff402b4c,Inactive:#ff9b59b6],AlternateBase:[Active:#ff1d1f22,Disabled:#ff1c1e20,Inactive:#ff1d1f22],ToolTipBase:[Active:#ff292c30,Disabled:#ff292c30,Inactive:#ff292c30],ToolTipText:[Active:#fffcfcfc,Disabled:#fffcfcfc,Inactive:#fffcfcfc],PlaceholderText:[Active:#ffa1a9b1,Disabled:#ff42464a,Inactive:#ffa1a9b1],Accent:[Active:#ff3daee9,Disabled:#ff1f2124,Inactive:#ff1b4155]") The code that turns those color schemes into QPalettes is here: https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Finvent.kde.org%2Fframeworks%2Fkcolorscheme%2F-%2Fblob%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2Fkcolorscheme.cpp%23L580&data=05%7C02%7Caxel.spoerl%40qt.io%7C1fde212a5ffc42b896ec08dd607830bf%7C20d0b167794d448a9d01aaeccc1124ac%7C0%7C0%7C638772791535030807%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=7QRCRNTOir7zNA0SxXNOx937hndZeT0dC8Dhu3AMS%2B4%3D&reserved=0<https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kcolorscheme/-/blob/master/src/kcolorscheme.cpp#L580> David
