I was waiting for your response, because I had another detail to add; but you
seem to have found it on your own. The color scheme config file also resides
in this location:
~/.trinity/share/apps/tdedisplay/color-schemes/HOW_YOU_NAMED_IT.kcsrc
So now I am sending two versions of my most recent color scheme config,
in .kcsrc (which is KDE3) and .kksrc (TDE) config files; they ought to be
almost the same, except that the TDE version has been subtly tweaked and
retweaked. Otherwise only the extension is changed.
If you want to change the color of the lower panel to match, as well, then you
need to use something like my source for background, which is an image file
of a Zen ink drawing, with lots of space and few details. I'm glad to share
that, too, though I have lost the source. (See attachments for my color
scheme config files.)
Regarding the whole theme, I'll look into it. I've never created a theme
before, other than how all the various config files in my system make it
look; but I would like to be able to use it myself in the future on other
machines, without having to go through so many steps. A tar.gz file, you say?
I'll study on how to create a theme.

The Color scheme: you need to save it in TC, and it will be stored in

If you save the whole theme, then it will appear in
~/.trinity/share/apps/kthememanager/themes/HOW_YOU_NAMED_IT.kth - basicly a
tar.gz with different ending. There's also a folder
~/.trinity/share/apps/kthememanager/themes/HOW_YOU_NAMED_IT with the
unpacked contents of the theme file. But it looks like the kmail color
config is not part of the theme, nor is the konqueror background image.
Would be a nice thing to place themes on the trinity webpage or somewhere
in the wiki.

My problem, too :(

Ah... there did my colorschemes go ...:
.trinity/share/apps/tdedisplay/color-schemes/NIK-hell.kcsrc
.trinity/share/apps/kdisplay/color-schemes/NIK DUNKEL.kcsrc
.trinity/share/apps/kdisplay/color-schemes/NIK GANZ DUNKEL.kcsrc
.trinity/share/apps/kdisplay/color-schemes/NIK DUNKEL 2.kcsrc
.trinity/share/apps/kdisplay/color-schemes/thememgr.kcsrc
.trinity/share/apps/kdisplay/color-schemes/NIK.kcsrc
.trinity/share/apps/kdisplay/color-schemes/NIK 2012-11-11.kcsrc
Moved them over from .trinity/share/apps/kdisplay/color-schemes/ to
.trinity/share/apps/tdedisplay/color-schemes/ , now I'm back in the
game, thank you :) I'm working my way through kmail now, looks like it
has some settings I have totally forgotten ... (oh my, as time goes by
...)
Which makes me wonder, which of these folders in .trinity/share/apps/
are actually in use? Lots of them are from 2011 ... hm ...
Oh, would you mind sharing your colorscheme?
Nik
Sure, glad to share. Do you mean just the .kksrc config file, or the
whole shebang?
I've been trying to figure out how to make my color scheme available to
others, instead of the cookie-cutter default choices, but unless somebody
draws me a map, I doubt that will happen. With a few broad hints, though,
I could probably create a theme for TDE & perhaps others, like the newer
KDEs, etc.
