I now found the configuration files in the user's home directory: 1. The desktop wallpaper is saved in ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc 2. The screenlock wallpaper is saved in ~/.config/kscreenlockerrc 3. The desktop theme is saved in ~/.config/plasmarc 4. The splash screen theme is saved in ~/.config/ksplashrc 5. The look and feel is saved in ~/.config/kdeglobals and in ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals I could not find any same-named files in /usr/share, or files with other names but same configuration variables. Any idea where to store the values system-wide? Regards Christoph ___ This message is from the kde mailing list. Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde.

Yes. Kde5 looks in a number of places for its settings, including both user and system locations. The user locations are probably going to be in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, which (from memory, mine is customized and I don't want to look it up ATM) defaults to ~/.config/share/. The system location(s) normally default to XDG_CONFIG_SYSTEM (again, from memory, something close tho), which in turn defaults to /usr/share/. Some distros change these defaults, however.

Yes, but there's actually three places to change the two different elements, depending on exactly what you want to change. All three are in kde system settings. The broad based theme setting, which should change both of these but will change a bunch of other stuff at the same time, is in the appearance section, workspace theme, look and feel. Repeating, this is a broad setting that will change a lot of stuff, so you probably only want to do it when you're first setting up or when you haven't already spent quite some time customizing, so everything's already at the defaults and you can get back to that pretty easily if you don't like all the changes by just selecting the appropriate theme once again. The splash screen only setting is close by, also under appearance, workspace theme, but splash screen (what else? =:^) instead of the more general look and feel. Options will be limited unless you've installed additional themes, either as packaged by your distro or from kdelook. The lock screen setting is elsewhere in kde settings, under workspace, desktop behavior, screen locking. There you should see a custom background option that will let you browse and select the image of your choice, as unlike the splash screen this isn't an entire theme with several images and other settings that's installed as a single set, just a single image. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.

Choose desktop settings. You can change the image for each one separately, depending on your location when you triggered the popup menu. (The mouse actions icon allows you to select from several different options for each combination of modifier key and mouse button. If you set the right button click to something other than standard menu, you won't have that popup, but whatever other functionality you've chosen. Of course you can assign the standard menu to something else, say ctrl- right-button instead of simply right-button, if desired, and it'd be available that way, but that does complicate instructions like this, since I've no way of knowing what trigger you've set for that action, if any at all.) 2) The way that should always work, unless...: cashew/toolbox menu: On the desktop, I believe at the lower right by default but you can drag it elsewhere, is what's referred to as the cashew or toolbox. It's a little icon that's mostly faded out by default, but when you hover over it, the big curved bit (the cashew) becomes bright yellow, with little tiny droplets of other colors at the end if your eyes are good enough to see them. Primary/left-clicking that should bring up a somewhat different menu, but it should have a desktop settings option too, that triggers the same dialog. (The toolbox is by default always there, not removable, tho you can move it to a different corner or to the center of a side, if desired. This is to ensure that there's always a way to get to desktop settings and the other options there, even if you have the mouse actions options set to do other things, and nothing set to trigger the standard menu popup. However, some people get REALLY distracted by the thing, or at least they did back before it faded out when not hovered, and there's a kill the cashew plasmoid available for download on kdelook, if you wish to install it badly enough. It does, or at least used to do (I've not tried it or seen anyone confirm whether it works on current kde, it was originally posted in the kde 4.2 or 4.3 era, IIRC), what it says on the tin, kill the cashew. So the cashew is removable too, just not by default.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master.
