Can one have different color schemes for each activity in KDE4?

Hi,

I would like to have normal colors for my "main" activity and very dark, lower-contrast colors for my "programming" activity (darker colors, ect. are easier on the eyes).

I thought this would be possible with (and was part of the point of) KDE4's activities. Is it?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not using activities at the moment but I was playing with them a while ago. I seem to remember that you can change colors, themes and wallpaper on each activity without any problems.

It is safe to experiment with them as an activity can be deleted without affecting others.

That's what I thought too, but changing the color scheme on one activity changes it for all others.

I just tried it again and you are right. Also changing the theme changes it on all too. Only the wallpaper seems to work. I'm sure this is different from the last time I tried it but KDE has been updated a couple of times since then.

Anyone know anything about this?
Is this a feature that's missing or are activities supposed to be like this?

As far as I know, KDE's plasma desktop doesn't support this (yet)
