Hello,

sometimes, some people prefer to write and programme programmes on a black background with light forground instead on white background and dark forground.
Like it is in Linux console mode,
light text and black background.
This is especially also very useful on notebooks to save energy.



Kate is configured with dark forground on white background by default.
And here comes the feature/point that is missing.

It would be nice, if kate would offer an option to use predefinded colour 
schemes, that would make switching
between white background and black
background a lot easier, without the need to modify every single forground 
textcolour.
I know that changing all colours is possible in Kate, but at the moment, when i want to switch to a   black background i have to edit every forground textcolour manually.

And because there are plenty of file types (cpp, bash, wine, perl, pyhton etc.) where each of them offers
another color scheme this is a lot of work and so very annyoing.


There should be at least two standard colour schemes to choose from, one with white background and one with a black background (where each of them has its standard forground textcolours scheme for every file type).
The KDE Konsole offers such a cool feature, Kate should offer the same.

A white background colour scheme is allready done (just use the existing default settings), now a black background colour scheme is needed, including a feature to switch between those two colour schemes easily.

Thanks.
