I am trying to customize the color scheme of Kile/Kate. I could do it, except I could not find any way to change the color of the side pane such as files, etc.

I prefer dark background, and having dark background in editing space and white background in the left pane is not good for my eyes.

I don't think you can change it from within Kate, because I think it's like a filebrowser_part or something. Go to System Settings > Application Appearance > Colors Try the Zion ( Reversed ) Scheme. I think you can change those colors individually, and obviously you can create a scheme. I wish the makers of kate would realize that dev's like dark backgrounds and facilitate it more.

kate dark ( Zion ( Reversed ) Scheme )

please note some portions of this are not from the colorscheme but other settings
