Hey there,
I am working on changing the default TDE configuration for a Live ISO. I have read through the: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Customization_for_distributions
However, when I place my configuration files into /opt/trinity/share/config as well as trying with my own dir added to the TDEDIRS variable. I cannot get the default settings to apply. I can only get the new default settings to apply on the creation of a new account using /etc/skel.
Is there a new spot for the default TDE configs? Or am I just not looking in the right spots? Ideally when a user selects default at the bottom of a settings dialog (for the bottom panel for example), it uses the defaults I have set.

Hi Jacob, /opt/trinity/share/config is the TDE common location for all users. Then there is per-user config in ~/.trinity/share/config, so if you have some customization already done for your user, it is possible it will override the global one. Cheers Michele

Should /opt/trinity/share/config be there by default?

Unless TDE expressly removed share/config it should be there by default. It holds the default config for most basic apps as well as for k/tdm.
There should also be a system-wide configuration directory in /etc/. I don't have TDE running, but for KDE3 installed in /opt that is:
/etc/opt/kde3/
There you set system-wide defaults without having to change the actual K/TDE defaults in /opt/tde/share/config. The default in /etc/ will override the /opt defaults and local ~/.tde/share/config will override both.

No kdm or kdmrc in that tree here. I symlink /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/ to /etc/kde/config/.
