Hello,

You can use a custom Bash script in Koi 0.4 for that . . .

@MartinVonReichenberg We can actually do this, through the dbus interface. I'm not great at picking up codebases, but here's the gist:

$ qdbus org.kde.konsole-`pidof -s konsole` /Sessions/1 setProfile "Breeze Dark"

So via the pidof -s konsole, you grab the first pid of a Konsole running. Now naturally, we'd want to get all pids and iterate through them, but that shouldn't be horrible to do.

Then you can get all active Sessions if you run

$ qdbus org.kde.konsole-`pidof -s konsole`
...
/Sessions
/Sessions/1
/Sessions/2
...

After this, we iterate through each, and set the profile like in the first command I showed

Oh, and to populate the drop-down, we can use

$ qdbus org.kde.konsole-`pidof -s konsole` /Windows/1 profileList
Breeze Dark
Breeze Light

I'm not sure why this is on /Windows and the set is on /Sessions but oh well :)

Oh and one last thing. We also need to set the default profile, so any new window is launched with the new theme. Once again, this is on /Windows strangely enough.

$ qdbus org.kde.konsole-`pidof -s konsole` /Windows/1 setDefaultProfile "Breeze Light"

Though, looks like setting it just once, does it globally, from my little messing around. So maybe we don't have to do it for every window.

Finally, as an extra tidbit, the default option in the dropdown could be

$ qdbus org.kde.konsole-`pidof -s konsole` /Windows/1 defaultProfile
Breeze Light
