Printing i a mess and uses and modifies even parts of the current view colors, that will need fixing.
(In reply to Christoph Cullmann from comment #1) > Printing i a mess and uses and modifies even parts of the current view > colors, that will need fixing. Yes, I forgot to mention that it also modifies the current view colors. I seem to understand there's a property in katerc for specifying the Printing color scheme, but I find no way of setting that from Kate, and manually setting in katerc doesn't seem to do anything.
