Noted, thanks Felix. But it doesn't change a whit when I set the kde5 
colors to something a little easier on these ancient eyes. I went looking 
for something that if I print a msg from kmail, the whole header was 
white text on an ounce of black toner. Obviously that had to be fixed. :)

Thanks Felix, take care and stay well.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
