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?

excerpt with all sectionnames + color from ~/.trinity/share/config/kdeglobals:

[DesktopIcons] ActiveColor=invalid ActiveColor2=invalid DefaultColor=invalid DefaultColor2=invalid DisabledColor=invalid DisabledColor2=invalid [General] linkColor=140,140,255 visitedLinkColor=255,136,255 [KDE] colorScheme= [MainToolbarIcons] ActiveColor=invalid ActiveColor2=invalid DefaultColor=invalid DefaultColor2=invalid DisabledColor=invalid DisabledColor2=invalid [PanelIcons] ActiveColor=invalid ActiveColor2=invalid DefaultColor=invalid DefaultColor2=invalid DisabledColor=invalid DisabledColor2=invalid [SmallIcons] ActiveColor=invalid ActiveColor2=invalid DefaultColor=invalid DefaultColor2=invalid DisabledColor=invalid DisabledColor2=invalid [ToolbarIcons] ActiveColor=invalid ActiveColor2=invalid DefaultColor=invalid DefaultColor2=invalid DisabledColor=invalid DisabledColor2=invalid

Mine are rather different:

[$Version] update_info=socks.upd:trinity.0/r1,mouse_cursor_theme.upd:trinity.4.99,tdeaccel.upd:trinity.3/r1,klippershortcuts.upd:04112002,kded.upd:trinity.0,twin.upd:trinity.2Xinerama

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.
