Could you add this background color setup in the next release?
This is rather important for me.

Can I put the .kdiff3rc into the install directory of KDiff?
That would help me to keep the software portable on my USB stick.

Kdiff should look at startup at first for a .kdiff3rc in its own directory before
searching at other locations
