Hello, since 4.6 plasma allows prepered svgs to use system colors. For this to work the svg needs to have a css-style with the id 'current-color-scheme' which gets replaced by a style containing classes with the actual system colors on load. For someone with knowlage of xml/svg code it should be trivial to apply this after the graphic itself was finished. But I think most people creating graphics don't want to dive in the source code. For this purpose I am working on a little tool to help them.
Take a look at http://kame2.de/KDE/svgmod/ To get a colorscheme aware svg there are four steps needed: * Define which system colors you want to use. * Create the svg like you are used to but use one defined color at places where on system color should take effect. * Add the corresponding classes to your svg with svgmod -a * Transform elements using a defined color to the corresponding system color with svgmod -c A little example: Say that we want to use window background and window text colors. Now we create our svg and use color #123456 for text and #abcdef for the background. We don't use this colors in any other place. (For now, you need to apply this colors to the elements directly, so don't put them in gradients. Also don't try to use different system colors for fill and stroke of the same element. This limitations should go away in future versions of svgmod.) After that we need to add the classes ColorScheme-Background and ColorScheme- Text to the svg in a style with id current-color-scheme: svgmod -a current-color-scheme ColorScheme-Background '#e0e0e0' \ -a current-color-scheme ColorScheme-Text '#000000' \ graphic.svg The colors #e0e0e0 and #000000 are the colors you see if the svg is not processed by plasma. This happens for versions before 4.6 and if you look at the graphics with a svg viewer or editor. You are free to choose which ever colors you like for that. In the last step we need to finaly replace the colors #123456 and #abcdef with our classes. This is as simple as: svgmod -c '#123456' ColorScheme-Text \ -c '#abcdef' ColorScheme-Background \ graphic.svg Some things to keep in mind: Put the colors in quotation marks to prevent the shell from interpreting charakters like # and (). The commands modify the graphic itself. So if you need the original file, make a copy before using svgmod or use the -b switch to create a backup. But be aware of the fact that -b overwrites a existing backup. Hope you like this little tool. Please provide feedback to help me making it better.
