Hi all, my name is Thomi (Berlin). I’m living with a chronic illness, so I might not always be very active on the list, but I’d still love to contribute something small and fun. Background: cyber security / penetration testing, with coding experience. I’m getting into KDE dev now. Project idea: **rainbowkonsole** – a tiny addon that applies a different Konsole color scheme each time a new session is opened (to keep the terminal a bit more lively). Status: I have a working prototype on KDE neon (Qt6); a Qt5 build is not working yet. I’d appreciate pointers on: - the best hook for “new session opened” in Konsole, - whether this should live as a plugin vs. a small patch in Konsole, - coding style / contribution guidelines for Konsole. If helpful, I can share a repo link or a short diff. Thanks a lot for maintaining Konsole — it’s one of my daily essentials. Looking forward to your feedback! Best, Thomi
