Where are KDE user workspace appearance settings saved?

0

I have the Ghost theme installed in my KDE desktop, which applies to Application Appearance color scheme, Workspace Appearance window decorations, and Workspace Appearance desktop theme settings in the System Settings application.

Now that I have everything configured like I want it, I'd like to be able to add the settings to /etc/skel so it's available by default to all users.

Can someone point me to where such settings are saved?

I don't use KDE, but if they're following the standard, the settings would possibly either be in ~/.config or in ~/.local. – jcoppens – 2015-05-06T01:20:16.670

Your workspace settings are in one of the so-called hidden directories under your home directory, e.g., ~/.kde (see documentation).

You may find it challenging to templatize these files for use in /etc/skel, though I do see the notion mentioned in a few bug reports, e.g, Red Hat #89153. The KDE documentation linked above is a good place to start. The KDE forum has some further hints.

Yep, the files in question are located in ~/.kde/share/{apps,config}. And you are also correct that I might find it challenging to put them in /etc/skel. However, it's not a templatizing issue, it's an issue with the /etc/skel/.kde issue not being copied over to a new user's account when created. – Bryan – 2015-05-08T16:32:12.693

Good answer, but ... templatize? Please.... – MariusMatutiae – 2015-06-13T14:01:51.947
