Hi all!
I'm working on a small program that unifies the color scheme over all
configs of TDE. But I found something that I quite don't understand:
.trinity/share/config/kdeglobals has a bunch of color definitions, but
almost all are set to "invalid" in my config.
Does anybody know what these are good for - and why "colorScheme=" is
empty?

However, I *believe* that this file is related to these places (as well as
maybe others):
/home/<USER>/.trinity/share/config/kdm/trinity.kcsrc
/home/<USER>/.trinity/share/config/tdm/trinity.kcsrc
/home/<USER>/.trinity/share/config/tdedisplay/tdedisplayconfigrc
If you have legacy KDE or KDE3 configurations, also the same -rc files here:
/home/<USER>/.kde/share/config/*
And these all relate (I *believe*) to TCC / Appearance & Themes / Colors. If
you have created your own color profile (and named it something), you ought
to find that it relates to here. Whatever you set here (I *believe*) changes
the values here:
/home/<USER>/.trinity/share/config/tdm/trinity.kcsrc
/home/<USER>/.trinity/share/config/kdeglobals
Following this last file, in the same folder, I also have:
kdeglobalsiHiNP9.new
kdeglobalsJWjdaa.new
kdeglobals.locklq06XV.tmp
kdeglobalso5Mlei.new
kdeglobalsuotrUb.new
But all but one of these are empty documents. They mostly appear to be left
over from my KDE3 desktop, circa 2005/2006 or so; or, when I finally jumped
ship to escape the rotten Apples and Windoze and other proprietary stuff.
I say "I believe" throughout, because I haven't done much of anything with
these settings since then, and only vaguely recall how they seem to fit
together with these other places.
