Oh, that's a good one. I remember that I had to manually add the correct
url="" thingy for the desktop background, too, and then add the image to the
wallpaper directory in the thmes folder, and then repack the theme - otherwise the
wallpaper image was not included.

The setting for the Konqueror background image seems to be kept in the XML file governing
the current
theme, which I found in a subdirectory of .trinity/share/apps/tdestyle/themes/ . The
specific snippet goes:
<konqueror>
<wallpaper url="" />
<bgcolor rgb="#000000" />
</konqueror>
Not sure how much good that does anyone, though.

The Color scheme: you need to save it in TC, and it will be stored in
~/.trinity/share/apps/tdedisplay/color-schemes/HOW_YOU_NAMED_IT.kcsrc
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. Hi William!

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.
